Tripod ladder user? Your advice sought please!

New for old insurance

We are struggling to get new for old insurance for our equipment, all insurers we have tried are saying "market value" and expect us to get quotes from dealers for used equipment of comparable age and condition. This is going to be nigh on impossible and very very time consuming. Getting to the stage of taking the risk ourselves. Anybody got new for old and if so which insurer
