Don't believe so.

Still a bit amazed they aren't all fitted with a tracker as standard from the factory, even if they didn't tell you they fit one as standard it would be a couple of hundred quid for peace of mind on I'm guessing a 30k chipper.

 

I'm sure they could get a good deal through buying in bulk.

I’m surprised manufacturers don’t build them in to the control boxes as standard so they couldn’t be removed/bypassed etc without affecting the operation of the machine.

Something like a little sim card system, once a day it could just text it's location to the office. Even for the sake of £10 a year to pay for a SIM only contract, if it didn't send a text it locks the machine.

But if the machine is lost they get to sell another so no incentive for security

Pretty sure that’s not it.

 

They don’t fit them as standard on cars do they?

[GarethM]

No, but cars are generally equipped with alarm immobilizers.

Fair point.
