Engineering, Manufacturing & High Risk

Insurance for Lift Businesses

LiftSure delivers specialist insurance coverage for the Lift and Escalator industry. Whether you install, service or maintain lifts, escalators or mobility equipment, LiftSure is built around the risks specific to working on and around lifting equipment.

LiftSure goes beyond standard cover

Lift and escalator businesses carry risks a generic trades policy wasn’t built for, from working in confined mechanical spaces to fidelity and premises access exposures. LiftSure is built specifically for the sector, developed directly with A-rated insurers through our exclusive in-house facility.

Common challenges our clients face

Access to customers' premises

Lift and escalator engineers routinely work unsupervised in clients’ buildings, creating exposure around keys, access and site security.

Confined and mechanical spaces

Installation, service and maintenance work often takes place in lift shafts and plant rooms — high-risk environments requiring specific cover.

Rectification and defect risk

Faulty installation or maintenance work can lead to costly rectification claims, alongside potential injury or property damage.

Height and depth exposure

Lift shaft work inherently involves height and depth risk that standard trades or property policies don’t adequately address.

Key areas of protection
