Plant machinery

This is how you can help protect your plant machinery:

  • Remove keys, fit locking mechanisms or anchor to immovable objects – Even when unattended for a short time, keys should be removed. When left overnight, machinery should be secured in a compound if possible, and anti-theft devices fitted, chained to immovable objects or together.
  • Fit immobilisation and tracking systems – The use of tracking systems can notify the owner if the machinery is being interfered with or moved, allowing for a prompt response to either prevent the theft or detain offenders. Anti-theft devices make your plant less attractive to the thief.
  • Maintain accurate records of equipment owned or hired, including serial numbers and registration numbers – Accurate and detailed records allow for the identification of stolen plant machinery. Without this, your mini digger could be any mini digger.
