In the heavy construction industry, asset tracking is a must. More than 70 pieces of heavy equipment are stolen everyday and only about 10% is ever recovered. Given the high cost involved, these thefts can deal a heavy blow to your business. Even though the equipment might be insured, you still have to deal with the loss of hours in which the use of that equipment could have been productive if it was still in your possession. The relevant question to ask then is “what can I use to constantly monitor my equipment and recover it should it become stolen?”

Equipment tracking via GPS technology is the solution. With a simple installation of an electrical device, you can pin point the exact location of your equipment and provide the details to the authorities for instant recovery.

Face it, when equipment is stolen, often times police agencies are so busy that they do not have enough time and resources to try to follow all leads in attempting to find out where a stolen item might be. In addition, there may not be enough evidence of its whereabouts.

Lower Insurance Costs. Since the insurance company’s potential losses are cut with one of these devices, they are willing to lower the insurance premiums in return. The insurance industry would like nothing more than having one of these devices on every piece of heavy equipment in the world. Tracking would be much easier, and the black market for the sale of such stolen equipment would quickly dry up.
