Coverage

Loggers broad form

Multiple property exposures, one flexible policy form.

Instead of stacking separate policies for every category of property, loggers broad form combines the exposures a logging operation carries into a single, adaptable form.

One form, several exposures

A logging operation does not carry just one kind of property risk — there is heavy equipment, portable tools, small support equipment, and materials that move between job sites. Loggers broad form is built to combine these exposures onto a single, flexible policy rather than forcing you into separate standalone policies for every category.

That flexibility matters because logging property does not sit still. Equipment moves from tract to tract, tools travel in trucks and trailers, and a set can be miles from the nearest paved road. Longleaf® structures loggers broad form around that reality, with scheduling that can flex as your operation and its property change through the season.

For many contractors, broad form is a practical alternative or complement to scheduling every machine separately under standalone equipment coverage — it is worth discussing both structures with your agent to see which fits your fleet and job mix.

FAQ

Got questions? We've got answers.

How is loggers broad form different from logging equipment insurance?
Logging equipment insurance schedules individual machines like skidders and loaders under an inland marine form. Loggers broad form is a broader, combined form that can bundle equipment with tools and other property exposures. Which one fits depends on how your fleet and property are structured — your agent can walk through both.
Does broad form cover small tools and hand equipment?
Yes, that is one of the advantages of the form — portable tools and support equipment can be included alongside heavier scheduled machinery.
Is property covered while it is being transported between sites?
Property in transit is typically part of the form, which matters for an operation that moves equipment and tools between tracts regularly.
Can I still schedule my larger equipment individually?
Yes. Broad form does not prevent itemized scheduling for higher-value machines — many contractors use a blended approach of itemized and blanket coverage.
Does this replace my general liability coverage?
No. Broad form addresses property and equipment. Third-party injury and property-damage exposure is handled separately under loggers general liability.
How do I find out if broad form fits my operation?
Find a Longleaf® agent and walk through your equipment and property list — they will recommend the structure that fits best.
