Tag Systems Proud to Announce TagTrak – A Weapon in the Fight Against Tractor Crime

In rural areas throughout the UK, tractors are being stolen every year as highly organised criminal gangs target this type of heavy farm machinery. Farms all over the UK have been affected and it is estimated that the value of stolen tractors, as well as other farm equipment and machinery, has reached £3 million per year. This includes tractors, quad bikes, diggers, trailers and more.

A second hand tractor can be sold for between £50,000 and £100,000, which makes these vehicles a desirable target. Many of the ignition keys in tractors are standard and a typical tractor will have much fewer anti-theft features than a car. Once these vehicles are stolen, they can be sold for profit and shipped out of the country, to buyers as far away as Australia.

At this type of theft can be devastating for rural farm owners and can mean an enormous financial loss, it is crucial that anyone who owns a tractor or other farm equipment take measures to protect it. The problem lies greatly in the lack of security surrounding tractors and how easy they are to steal, so the answer is to install security systems that will discourage this type of crime from happening.

Fighting Against Tractor Crime

Tag Systems, the specialist security solution provider, have developed a product that will be a very effective weapon in the battle to ensure security for tractors and farm equipment all around the country.

TagTrack is a tracking device that has already been proven to be successful in recovering stolen vehicles in many other sectors. It has been used to this effect in the construction and building sectors on high value vehicles such as excavators and diggers, which are also often stolen. The system is simple to set up and operate and customers have complete control over the vehicle. The tracking device can be installed quickly and easily and then can be transferred from vehicle to vehicle.

The system works by tracking the movement of the vehicle in order to detect any unauthorised theft or use. Tag Systems offer a 24 hour remote monitoring service, which provides a first response that can facilitate the swift recovery of any stolen piece of machinery. This means that farm owners can rest assured that their high value equipment will be safe from theft.

Need to Protect Vulnerable Remote Properties? Choose Wireless Security Systems for Peace of Mind

Remote properties and building sites can be vulnerable to break-ins, theft and malicious attack. Places that are unoccupied for long periods of time can become a target for criminal activity. This can cause a lot of problems for project managers, site officers and landlords. However with TagAlarm wireless security systems you can actively work to protect remote places and safeguard them from vandalism, arson and theft. Building site security is an important concern that must not be overlooked.

With the right systems in place you can get peace of mind and know that your buildings and grounds are under 24/7 surveillance.

Choose the Best of the Best

Building sites and remote properties can represent a number of unique challenges when it comes to security. This is why you need to choose a specialist security solution provider like Tag Systems. They will be able to offer you fast, affordable and highly effective security options for your individual needs.

For example many remote building sites or utilities installations will not have access to mains power or telephone lines. This can rule out a number of standard security options. However these remote locations are often prime targets for unauthorised break-ins. A range of people may seek to access remote properties and building sites including squatters, urban explorers, metal thieves and vandals. It is important to protect these areas from unauthorised access. Break-ins can result in fiscal costs and delays to projects and can also have serious health and safety repercussions if someone is injured or involved in an accident on your site.

Don't overlook the importance of security for your remote locations. These areas can be targeted by opportunistic criminals. You need to invest a specialist security solution provider like Tag Systems to ensure you are protecting your assets and preventing unauthorised activity at remote locations under your control.

This comprehensive building site security system can provide a number of practical options to protect remote locations without mains power or telephone lines.

SpeedyHire Contract Tag-Guard for Their Equipment Security

With theft constantly on the increase, especially when it comes to equipment that is left unguarded, having the right security system in place can make all the difference. Tag-Guard is happy to announce an exciting venture where they have been contracted by SpeedyHire offering their equipment and services.

Dr Kitchin Technical Director for Tag Guard said 'This represents an exciting opportunity to provide the TagGuard quality of equipment and services much appreciated by our existing clients, to customer's using the SpeedyHire rental services. Total service and one stop for security services and equipment supply has been the goal for TagGuard for the last 4 years.'

Plant Equipment Theft on the Rise

During 2011, there was approximately £800 million worth of theft in the construction industry alone. This amount is based on the replacement of machinery, hiring machinery and the increase of insurance. Large equipment such as compressors, cranes and excavators were among those items stolen during the year.

SpeedyHire Rental Services have taken the initiative to ensure that all equipment rented out will be protected using the Tag-Guard wireless security system.

Wireless Security Systems by Tag-Guard

All the systems developed by Tag-Guard are designed and developed within the UK. They are a cost saving opportunity helping companies by reducing the risk of theft on site. These systems can protect areas up to one kilometre apart integrating both alarm and camera to ensure an overall security solution.

The advantage to the systems is that they are free standing which means they do not rely on mains power, while they still conform to the necessary British Standards and Codes of Practice.

Can These Systems Save Companies Money?

The question is whether the systems can help companies such as SpeedyHire Rental Services save money in the long run. When relying on manned security even when combining with CCTV cameras, there are no guarantees that thieves will not get through.

The cost to companies where theft is taking place is affecting their expenses dramatically. These costs include the replacement of the equipment, hiring new equipment while waiting for the replacements and bearing the cost of an increased insurance premium.

Tag-Guard offer wireless security systems which cover safety, fire and security for buildings, construction sites, standalone equipment, vehicles and so much more. These flexible systems are innovative, ensuring they offer a higher level of security than having a human security guard at the door.

About Tag-Guard

Tag-Guard have been designing and developing wireless security systems within the UK since 1996 and have spent the past four years concentrating on ways these systems can assist businesses in saving money by reducing the risk of theft.

With offices throughout the UK, Tag-Guard offer a nationwide service to a number of companies including National Grid and now with the new contract in place will be offering their services to SpeedyHire.

One of the recent activities that has been reported around the UK is copper theft and this is where this temporary solution can come into its own. These systems can be wired up to provide temporary cover for premises that will be left unattended for a period of time.

Security Fit for a King

One such use of these temporary building site security solutions was found by property owner William Davis Ltd., when the bones of the last Plantagenet, Richard III were found, recently, in Leicester. Shortly after the find was made, Tag Guard had been called in to set up their stand-alone TagDetector to protect this priceless archaeological dig from unwanted visitors. With the bones now confirmed to be those of the 15th century king, the quick set up of Tag Guard's wireless security system proved vital in protecting this important find.

As well as cameras, there are other methods of building site security the customer can use to protect themselves against copper thieves, among others. These products include trip alarms and movement sensors, which immediately set off an alarm back at the Tag Guard control room. As well as this, access systems, padlocks and GPS tracking are also available, so the customer can keep track of different types of asset.
