WORCESTER, MA — The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. (NYSE: THG) recently announced the expansion of its marine online system, TAP Sales Marine, allowing the company’s independent agent partners to quickly and easily quote and issue contractor’s equipment policies.  

Building on the success of its builders risk online tool, The Hanover added contractor’s equipment to its marine online product suite, enabling its agents to issue contractor’s equipment policies for a broad range of equipment, including general construction, specialized equipment and equipment used in warehousing, manufacturing and municipalities.

Backed by a comprehensive new contractor’s equipment form, agents can select coverage options and deductibles to meet the needs of their clients. This enhanced coverage form, coupled with the online quoting platform, will enable the company’s agents to provide a broad, competitive and timely insurance solution for their contractor’s equipment customers.

“The rollout of our contractor’s equipment tool means our agents can issue quotes for contractor’s equipment clients within minutes,” said Paul J. Butler, president of Hanover marine. “This helps agents provide the high quality service demanded by the construction industry. With the competitive rates and broad coverage options offered through this online system, we’re able to help our agent partners better serve their clients.”

This new platform is an addition to The Hanover’s existing marine products, serviced through a nationwide network of marine specialists, and supported by dedicated marine claim and loss control experts.
