Viper Hire Ltd, a leading equipment rental company based in Somerset, recently recovered two high-value machines thanks to ABAX's innovative solutions. This case exemplifies how our technology can protect valuable assets and ensure swift recovery in the event of theft.
The Incident
Viper Hire Ltd experienced the theft of a 0.8T 2024 Kubota K008-5 Digger and a Lumag tracked dumper, collectively valued at over £17,000. The machines were stolen shortly after being delivered to a customer site. Despite the thieves' attempts to disable the tracking devices by cutting through the wires, the robust battery life of ABAX trackers allowed continuous monitoring.
The Recovery
Early the following morning, a Viper Hire employee checked the tracker and discovered the equipment's location in Lancashire. ABAX’s superior tracking technology ensured that the equipment's movements were recorded even after the apparent disconnection. This vital information enabled the police to locate and recover the stolen machinery by 1 PM the same day.
Customer Testimonial
Viper Hire Ltd shared their experience:
The thieves cut through the wires on the tracker, thinking it would disconnect the device. However, the incredible battery life allowed us to track the machines all the way to where they had parked the van. If it wasn't for that back-up battery, the machines would've been gone.
