Other types of engineering and machinery insurance we offer…

Forklifts

Forklifts and teleporters require specific cover to ensure you are protected in the event of an accident or damage. Talk to your Sheridan Insurances broker to find out what cover is available and how it can be customised to suit your business.

In general, forklifts need one of three types of cover:

  • Third Party Only which protects you if someone makes a claim resulting from damage or injury caused by your forklift
  • Third Party, Fire and Theft provides fire and theft cover for your own forklift
  • Comprehensive insurance includes Third Party, Fire and Theft, plus the added peace of mind that your forklift is covered if it is accidentally damaged.

The 1951 factory act introduced the requirement that all plant and pressure vessels be inspected at various intervals. For example, a passenger life in a hotel needs to be inspected every six months, whereas a compressor needs to be inspected every twelve months. Engineering insurance can look after your statutory obligations if required.

If you run a business hiring out, selling, importing or exporting forklifts, or training people how to operate them, we can also provide impartial advice and package together liability policies including employer’s liability, product and public liability to protect you and your business. Talk to your Sheridan Insurances broker for more information about a package that suits you.

Dumpers

Sheridan Insurances provides a number of different options to cover dumpers to provide you with peace-of-mind that your vehicles are protected. Typically, dumpers will need one of three types of insurance:

  • Third Party Only which is a legal requirement under the 1961 road traffic act, protects you if a 3rd party makes a claim
  • Third Party, Fire and Theft provides fire and theft cover for your own dumper
  • Comprehensive insurance includes Third Party, Fire and Theft, plus the added peace-of-mind that your dumper is covered if it is accidentally damaged.

Not only will you find our quotes highly competitive, but they will be  customised to suit your unique needs, such as whether you plan to use your dumper on public roads or only private land, and whether you need dumper insurance to cover one vehicle or a fleet.

We can also provide impartial advice, and package together liability policies, including employer’s liability, product and public liability to protect you and your business. Talk to your Sheridan Insurances broker for more information about a package that suits you.

Farm Machinery

At Sheridan Insurances, we understand how important your farm machinery is to your farm operations. We have in-depth expertise in the types of insurance that are required for farm machinery and can create a tailored package that suits your individual needs.

If you plan to drive your tractor or other farm machinery on a public road, you will need to take third party liability insurance to cover claims from a third party taken against you in the event of an accident or damage to their property.

Talk to your Sheridan Insurances broker about cover for trailers or if you are transporting livestock. We will be able to customise an insurance package to suit your specific needs.

Lifts/Elevators

Sheridan Insurances has access to a wide network of underwriters who provide specialist insurance policies for lifts and elevators, even those in high-risk industries. The specialist nature of the equipment combined with their value mean that most policy holders will be keen to obtain comprehensive insurance for total peace-of-mind that their investment is protected, however we do also offer Third Party Only cover and Third Party, Fire and Theft when required.

We can also provide impartial advice about liability policies that protect your business, such as employer’s liability, product and public liability. Talk to your Sheridan Insurances broker for more information about a package that suits you.

Lifesavers – With 110% professionalism at all times, we were provided with much needed support and guidance under difficult circumstances, with a very tight deadline. Without the team in Sheridan Insurance’s diligence and effort, going the extra mile on more than one occasion, we can honestly say we wouldn’t have the secure future we can now look forward to. We would recommend Sheridan Insuances to anyone looking for any type of insurance. Hands down the best decision you'll make! Thank you Audrey, Brian and Niall. Richard & Maria Leonard

My name is Philip Sheridan Sides.I was buying a van on done deal when I saw the advert for Sheridan insurance. The playright Richard Brinsley Sheridan was one of my ancestors and that is where the Sheridan in my full name as we had the same name. \I rang the office for a quote and was put through to broker Kelly Crowe. My first premium was high as I had been with Dolman Insurance who specialise in Camper vans and my no claims on the camper van was not able to transfer. This is something I believe the insurance industry should change as it is unfair on camper van drivers who like myself at the tie use the vehicle as their only method of transport.This was seven years ago. I am a very busy free lance photographer, musician and I run an NGO called Whistles for Refugees.The NGO collects unwanted tents and sleeping bags at festivals, thus saving them from landfill thus turning this landfill into aid for the most vulnerable people on this planet fleeing the horrors of ISIS. Whistles for Refugees also brings whistles out to refugee camps, music is healing and the Irish tin whistle gives the opportunity for the refugees to learn and play Irish music with an instrument that is light portable, inexpensive to buy and relatively easy to learn.Sheridan Insurance are currently researching for an underwriter to provide public liability insurance for our NGO so that our volunteers are covered should they get pricked by a needle while cleaning out tents at festivals or any other risk involved in our work.Broker Kelly Crowe has been amazing at her job. From the very beginning Kelly was able to organise a quote, with my line of work and my bad luck with vehicles I am often having to rent replacement cars to make sure I get to my commissions safely and punctually. I am never 5 mins from getting my insurance transferred to keep my rental costs lower. I needed a copy of my no claims bonus to get insured on my partners camper van and this was emailed to me within 5 mins of my request, even though this was with a different firm!I also run a tour business bringing clients on adventures with sea kayaking and photography. Once again my broker was able to produce a policy that was affordable and organised with minimal fuss in minimal time.For quality, price and especially (what I believe is the most important in business) service, Sheridan insurance is second to none.I could not recommend Sheridan Insurance and my broker Kelly Crowe enough.

We all hate shopping for insurance but the brokers at Sheridans do all the legwork for you and find the best deal and the cover you actually need - plus they are easy to deal with. You get assigned a broker and you can actually speak to a real human being. Great idea.
