Has this ever happened to you?

A piece of equipment breaks down on a job and you spend a day moving another piece of equipment over a long distance only to find out later that there was a similar piece of equipment just a few miles away. The truth is that everyday countless hours and dollars are needlessly spent because too often companies don’t know where all of their equipment is located all the time. Or if it is being utilized where is it currently located.

Equipment theft continues to plague construction companies. The estimated total annual value of equipment theft varies widely from $300 million to over $1 billion, not including the cost of business interruption. Additionally, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) has reported that construction equipment theft is on the rise.

According to the CHP, the construction equipment stolen most often includes:

• Generators and compressors
• Loaders
• Skid steer loaders
• Backhoes
