Best Plant and Machinery GPS Trackers

Do you own expensive machinery for your business? Are you concerned about the increasing risk of theft?

Sadly there is a very good reason to be worried. Construction and plant machinery theft has been on a 5-year rise. Thieves have quickly recognised the appeal of the high-valued assets that are seen as easy targets when kept on-site, in yards, or isolated for extended periods of time. Any machinery, from excavators, JCBs, chippers, and dump trucks is vulnerable to either opportunistic thieves or organised crime groups.

If they can either drive it away, lift it onto a flatbed, or simply roll it into the back of a van, they will take it! The most frustrating part of this is that the majority of stolen equipment is never found and the thieves are never caught! Until now! 

So many individuals and companies are taking action, fighting back are now installing trackers for plant and machinery. 

GPS TRACKERS FOR PLANT AND MACHINERY

Trackershop provides machinery and plant trackers for all situations, with Nationwide installation and delivery. 

With features to choose from such as real-time tracking, theft alerts, control room monitoring, on-site reports, immobilisation, we're confident that we will have the best plant and machinery GPS trackers to meet your security and business needs. 

Let's quickly take a look at some of the negative repercussions when you do not have tracking units in place.

Loss of income

The immediate aftermath after being the victim of theft will see delays to being able to complete work, as well as potentially losing out on future work and even losing current contracts.

Increase in cost of insurance

Inevitably when you have to make an insurance claim for theft, your renewal policy may increase. Over the years this can continue to add up to be extremely costly, especially if you have had several assets stolen.

Hiring replacement equipment

Replacing stolen equipment is very drawn out. Between the time of the theft until you are finally able to purchase replacement machinery it is very likely that you will need to hire temporary equipment.

Loss of time

Dealing with the logistics of theft, from reporting the item stolen, organising insurance claims, purchasing/hiring replacement equipment all takes time away from working on the job that you are trying to do.

Simply locking machinery up and removing the ignition keys from the area is not enough to deter and stop thieves. Extra security is a necessity and none are more effective than GPS trackers for plant and machinery.

WHY GPS TRACKERS FOR PLANT AND MACHINERY?

Many thefts may be opportunistic, but due to the high value of these single assets, more and more 'professional' organised crime groups are focusing on plant and machinery that may be kept in yards or isolated in fields/on-site overnight. Unfortunately, this means that these thieves are very good at what they do, with quick and effective techniques in removing the assets.

Contributing factors to the appeal of this machinery is that the single items are of high value, and can be rapidly shipped out of the country to be sold abroad. The fact that they can be sold as a complete item or for parts is also appealing and lucrative for thieves.

The thieves rely on the fact that once the machinery is in a shipping container it will be too costly and difficult to find and recover. 

GPS trackers for plant and machinery are now becoming commonplace for any individual or company that use high-value assets. 

Whether for plant, construction, or general assets, Trackershop provides a broad range of machinery GPS trackers.

This ensures that there is no obvious product or position for thieves to look for, even if they are savvy to the use of trackers. Typically, the nature of theft of vehicles and large assets is that the thieves will steal the item and leave the location as quickly as possible. They do not tend to waste time at the scene trying to locate extra security products, as they will not know exactly what they're looking for, where the device will be located, how many there are, or if they've already triggered an alert! 

Once a safe distance away, they will typically conceal the items and wait to see if there is any kind of response. With machinery, they may also just race straight for the border and try to get the items out of the country. The best plant machinery trackers report in real-time, showing an up to the second location, as well as a full trackable history showing the full journey of the device. They also have perimeter alerts, notifying you instantly if your machinery moves from the location where it is being kept.
