The Road Is Unpredictable.
Your Cover Shouldn’t Be

HCV Risk Consultants is a specialist insurance brokerage dedicated to
heavy commercial vehicles, plant machinery, and transport fleets. We don’t just sell policies; we understand the road your business travels every day.

We Speak Your Language

Most insurance brokers treat trucks and plant machinery
like just another line item on a schedule. We don’t.

Most insurance brokers treat trucks and plant machinery like just another line item on a schedule.
We don’t.


HCV Risk Consultants was built specifically for businesses that operate heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs), run transport fleets, and rely on plant machinery to keep projects moving. We understand the exposure that comes with working on public roads, construction sites, depots, quarries, farms, and high-risk operating environments.

Whether you run a single-owner driver vehicle, manage a long-haul fleet, operate buses, or work with yellow metal on site, you need more than generic commercial cover. You need a broker who understands HCV risk, knows how policies are structured, and can place cover that matches how your business actually works.

Your Fleet. Fully Covered.

Everything your fleet needs. Under one roof.

Specialist insurance for trucks, trailers, buses, tippers, tankers, flat decks, horse and trailer combinations, and other heavy commercial units. Cover is structured around the real risks your vehicles face, including accident damage, theft, write-offs, recovery, and operational downtime exposure.

Plant and Machinery (PAR)

All-risks cover for construction and industrial equipment

Protection for plant, yellow metal, and machinery used in construction, industrial, agricultural, and mining environments. PAR cover is designed for equipment that works hard in tough conditions, with structures that reflect the realities of site risk, operator exposure, and machine value.

Goods in Transit

Protect your cargo from depot to delivery

GIT covers goods while in transit, during loading and unloading, and across the movement chain where applicable. This protects the cargo you carry against defined loss events and helps prevent a vehicle incident from becoming a client dispute or a major financial setback.

Liability Cover

Public, carriers, third-party, and pollution liability

Liability solutions for the legal exposure that comes with operating trucks, machinery, cargo, and fuel-related risks. This includes public liability, carriers' liability, third-party exposure, and pollution-related cover where needed, giving your business protection beyond the vehicle itself.​

Good Cover Starts Long Before A Claim

We help clients look at the risk factors that shape policy performance and pricing, from tracking compliance and driver requirements to excess structures, vehicle use, load types, claims trends, and insurer fit. That means better decisions before placement, fewer surprises at the claims stage, and insurance that works the way it should.

Our role is not just to source a policy; it is to help you structure risk properly.
