Brewery Insurance
Mobile Canning Insurance
A mobile canner takes a valuable machine on the road and works inside other people’s breweries. That creates risks at both ends: the rig itself, and the beer you are canning for someone else.




Example
How cover can respond in practice
A mobile canning rig is damaged on the way to a job and the booking is lost. Equipment and transit cover can help with repairs, and business interruption may help with lost income, subject to policy terms.

FAQs
Usually not. Your rig needs its own cover.
It depends on the fault and the contract. Product liability and a written agreement matter.
The trailer needs to be declared, and the machine on it needs separate cover.
Often. We can supply them.
