Excavators
Thieves often target large building sites to steal heavy plant such as excavators which have high resale values, even if they are not brand new.
Excavators are not only a very expensive machine to lose but they are also an invaluable piece of equipment on any construction site. If an excavator is stolen the knock on effect can have significant financial implications and result in project delays and late completion.
Current global circumstances are making excavators more attractive to both opportunistic and organised criminals and as such, sadly construction and plant thefts are on the rise.
Mini excavators are particularly vulnerable as they can be very quickly loaded into a van and moved, hidden behind the solid panels of the vehicle.
Finding replacement machinery, either to purchase or hire, can take time and comes at additional cost. The consequences of the disruption to the site can result in project delays, increased costs impacting profit margins and disappointed clients.
