Inland Marine — Contractor's Equipment (Amwins Program Underwriters) Amwins Program Underwriters, part of the Amwins Underwriting division, offers an Inland Marine program for Contractor's Equipment under the direction of industry veteran Heather Frain. This program is designed for agents and brokers who need admitted paper, flexible scheduling, and expanded ancillary coverages for construction and trades equipment. Overview of the Program The program writes coverage on 100% U.S. admitted paper for contractor's equipment, which removes E&S tax considerations and typically speeds processing for your insureds. The underwriting philosophy is “service-above-all,” emphasizing partnership and quick, pragmatic responses to submissions. Ideal Accounts and Appetite Street and road contractors Building and general contractors Sewer, water, and cable contractors Excavation, paving, and grading contractors Municipal risks and public works contractors Artisan and specialty trade contractors Logistics and warehouse operations with material-handling equipment Typical fits are contractors and trades that maintain owned or scheduled equipment, rent or lease equipment to/from others, or require specific inland marine coverages such as rigger's liability or waterborne transit. Cranes are eligible when included on a schedule with other contractor's equipment (no blanket single-crane-only accounts that would trigger boom/overload exclusions). Coverage Highlights and Advantages Admitted paper for all placements — simpler premium reporting and faster processing. Low entry point: programs accept accounts with a low minimum premium (example: $1,000). Schedule-based contractor's equipment coverage with options to add: Leased or rented FROM / TO others Waterborne coverage for specified transit risks Rigger's liability Rental cost reimbursement and continuing rental/lease payments Bailees coverage where required Underwriting flexibility for mixed-fleet schedules (light equipment, heavy equipment, and cranes on the same policy). Focused service—from quote to policy issuance—guided by a dedicated underwriting team. Underwriting Notes and Minimums Minimum premium: competitively low (the program advertises a low minimum premium of $1,000). Cranes: acceptable when part of a broader equipment schedule; confirm no boom/overload exclusion applies for the account. Submissions should include a current equipment schedule, values, loss history, and any rental/leasing arrangements. Additional coverages (rigger’s, bailees, waterborne) are available by endorsement—request specifics on a per-submission basis. Territories and Availability This program is available in the following jurisdictions: AL, AK, AZ, AR, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, DC, WV, WI, WY. Why Place Contractor's Equipment with Amwins Program Underwriters Managing General Agency capability with admitted paper—good for agents who prefer admitted markets for inland marine placements. Service-focused team led by an experienced underwriter (Heather Frain) familiar with contractor operations and equipment exposures. Flexible endorsements and ancillary coverages help you tailor policies to real-world contractor exposures (rental arrangements, transit, rigger’s liability, etc.). Faster processing and clearer premium handling because policies are on U.S. admitted paper. Agent Examples You might have a municipal water contractor with a mixed fleet (excavators, backhoes, and one crane) who needs scheduled equipment coverage plus continuing rental reimbursement while equipment is repaired — this program can package those coverages on admitted paper. A regional paving contractor that rents and leases equipment to subcontractors could benefit from leased-from/to coverages and low minimum premium entry point to keep the account cost-effective.

Frequently Asked Questions What types of contractor accounts are the best fit for this program?Accounts with scheduled contractor's equipment—such as excavators, loaders, backhoes, and support equipment—are ideal, especially contractors who need admitted paper and optional coverages like rigger’s liability, waterborne transit, or rental cost reimbursement.
