In the last decade, the heavy equipment market in Indonesia has been flooded with products from China such as SANY, XCMG, Zoomlion, SDLG, Liugong, Shantui, Lovol, Lonking, Foton, Sunward, and XGMA.<\/span><\/p>\n The combination of competitive pricing, soft credit financing, and extensive distribution networks makes these brands dominate various sectors \u2014 from construction, mining, plantations, to infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n But behind the sales success story, there is a big problem that is rarely talked about:<\/span><\/p>\n What really happened?<\/span><\/p>\n And more importantly, how to avoid it?<\/span><\/p>\n Based on field experience, there is a recurring pattern in cases of claims for heavy equipment from China that insurance companies fail to pay.<\/span><\/p>\n The main problem is not because the heavy equipment is bad, but because of mismanagement in insurance arrangements.<\/span><\/p>\n Some common patterns that are often found:<\/span><\/p>\n Distributors or buyers often think:<\/span><\/p>\n “Why use a broker? After all, you just pay the premium for insurance.”<\/span><\/p>\n However, insurance is not just about \u201cbuying a product\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n Each policy contains dozens of pages of complex terms and conditions, full of legal and technical terms.<\/span><\/p>\n Small errors \u2014 such as the description of the equipment, the coverage area, or the type of risk \u2014 can result in an outright claim rejection.<\/span><\/p>\n Many Chinese heavy equipment companies in Indonesia choose private agents or friends to handle insurance, citing \u201ccheaper and easier communication.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Unfortunately, many of these agents do not have the licenses or technical skills to negotiate policy wording, understand project risks, or liaise with reinsurance companies.<\/span><\/p>\n When a major claim occurs (for example, heavy equipment worth Rp. 5\u201310 billion sinks in a harbor or catches fire at a mining site), the agent does not have direct access to the board of directors or the reinsurance claims team.<\/span><\/p>\n The result? Claims stalled. Rejected. Or partially paid.<\/span><\/p>\n Many distributors cover their heavy equipment with the wrong policies, for example:<\/span><\/p>\n As a result, when damage occurs outside the coverage scheme, the insurance company has a legitimate reason to reject the claim.<\/span><\/p>\n Some distributors from China do not understand the claim standards in Indonesia.<\/span><\/p>\n The invoice is still in the name of the finance company in China, the equipment has not been transferred to another name, or there is no official BAST (Minutes of Handover) document.<\/span><\/p>\n Indonesian insurance companies are very strict about documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n If the basic documents are incomplete, the claim will not be processed \u2014 even if the loss is real.<\/span><\/p>\n Every piece of heavy equipment has a high value \u2014 starting from<\/span>Rp2 billion to Rp15 billion per unit<\/b>.<\/span> Some real cases (names changed):<\/span><\/p>\n The result is not only a loss of assets \u2014 but also of reputation in the eyes of principals and customers.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are several fundamental factors that cause Chinese heavy equipment companies to frequently mismanage insurance in Indonesia:<\/span><\/p>\n Many Chinese companies think all insurance policies are the same, even though each insurance company in Indonesia has different wording and clauses.<\/span><\/p>\n Finance or sales teams are often tasked with managing insurance, even though they do not have a technical insurance background.<\/span><\/p>\n When a claim occurs, they don’t know who to coordinate with in the insurance company.<\/span><\/p>\n Many people think that using a broker will increase costs, even though the broker’s fee is paid by the insurance company, not the client.<\/span><\/p>\n It’s time for Chinese heavy equipment companies to stop the “do it yourself” or “use a friend” practice when it comes to insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n The safest, most efficient and proven solution is<\/span>using an authorized insurance broker who is experienced in the heavy equipment and construction industry.<\/b><\/p>\n One of the most experienced is <\/span>L&G Insurance Broker<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n L&G has covered thousands of Chinese heavy equipment brands \u2014 including SANY, XCMG, Zoomlion, SDLG, Liugong, Shantui, and others \u2014 with total coverage reaching hundreds of millions of US dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n We understand the technical characteristics of Chinese equipment, operational risks in Indonesia, and complex credit distribution patterns.<\/span><\/p>\n L&G’s main strength lies in its ability to negotiate policy wording.<\/span><\/p>\n We ensure that each clause is in accordance with field conditions and your business needs.<\/span><\/p>\n For example:<\/span><\/p>\n The result?
