National Theft Equipment Register

[Treewarrior]

Following some of the recent threads on equipment theft, I am not sure if this has been mentioned before.

 

There is a National Theft Equipment Register

see website Home - The National Plant & Equipment Register

You can register up to 5 items free of charge and only the police will have details.

 

So chippers, trailers and vehicles can be registered. Additionally you can check an item prior to making a purchase.

 

Also they send you a sticker to put on your van inviting the police to stop you between 8pm and 5 am should you so wish.

 

I have asked my insurers to look at this and it may reduce your premiums.

Arbinsure have just knocked £82.10 off my annual premium for registering equipment:001_tt2:

I`ve also spoken with Nick Mayell from TER about registering chippers etc on the register and it is very cheap to do so, as per the thread above.

 

We are liasing with Nick to make sure that any chipper sales that come through Orange Plant be registered on the TER. It would be good if other dealers and companies involved in machinery sales could all become involved and help someway to bring down the thefts of machinery.

 

If you need any further info ring me or ring Nick Mayell on :
