Attachment Theft on the Rise

I am a regular visitor to the website of the National Federation of Demolition Contractors (http://www.demolition-nfdc.com) and have been alarmed by the numerous recent reports of attachment thefts hitting contractors in this sector.

While they’re not, perhaps, as high profile as the theft of an excavator, these products are quite clearly being stolen to order, a fact that suggests a worrying organised crime involvement. Furthermore, many of these attachments are valued at well over £50,000 and their loss often halts production on a demolition project.

Although our customers have thankfully been largely theft-free to date, we would urge Dig A Screener and Dig A Crusher customers to protect them with the use of the many anti-theft products on offer today and to ensure that their attachments each has a unique Thiefbeaters ID number http://www.thiefbeaters.com/plant.html

IDE Roadshow

I have returned from my guest speaker slot at the last of the 2008 Institute of Demolition Engineers’ roadshow events (8 August 2008). The event took place at the superb Mercedes-Benz World in Weybridge, Surrey and brings to a conclusion what has been a great series of events for us which started several months ago in Glasgow and which also made a stop in the Midlands.

It has given us an opportunity to speak face-to-face with some of the UK’s leading demolition contractors, many of whom were seeing the Dig A Screener and Dig A Crusher products for the first time.

Details of the roadshow event can be found here: http://www.ide.org.uk/ and a brief review is also viewable at www.demolitionnews.wordpress.com
