Manufacturing & Industrial
Shipping Insurance
Because you're not just shipping - you're delivering uptime, precision, and production schedules.
You’re moving CNC machinery, robotics, heavy-duty compressors, or electrical control systems – often worth six figures and critical to production.
One dropped pallet, lost component, or late delivery can halt operations, break SLAs, and bleed revenue.
ShipSimple offers specialized protection up to $250,000 (Parcel) $500,000 (Freight), for industrial and manufacturing cargo requiring premium coverage. Trusted by suppliers, integrators, and fabricators across North America.
