THEFT OF TRAILERS COST UK CUSTOMERS £2.9 MILLION IN 2022*
VIN CHIP offers an anti-theft solution specifically adapted for trailers, Plant trailers, Car transporters, Horse trailers and more.
Trailers
Trailer thefts have increased by a staggering 66% in 2022 compared to the previous year according to the NFU. Thieves are using modern technology and innovative solutions to steal all types of trailers. Conventional security devices are only having a limited effect on determined criminals.
The alarming upwards trend in thefts is hitting users hard. Both business and leisure owners are struggling to find practical and affordable replacements due to supply and economic factors.
How can VIN CHIP help?
VIN CHIP’s proven security solution has been specifically adapted for trailers and it is designed around our company values:
DON’T BE A VICTIM | DETER - PROTECT - IDENTIFY
DETER – VIN CHIP’s visible markings on your trailer immediately warn would be thieves that the asset is protected with our security solution and comes with an increased risk of being caught and prosecuted.
PROTECT – Multiple layers of technology protect your asset, preventing re-identification or cloning for resale by organised criminals. Protecting your assets with VIN CHIP can significantly increase the potential of their recovery and return, in the event of worst-case scenario.
IDENTIFY– VIN CHIP can identify your trailers at long-range using its advanced RFID which means the police don’t waste valuable time and resources. It ensures that your asset is quickly and easily traced back to you through verification on our secure asset register. A trained and approved installer will fit our unique security system on your machine to eliminate legitimisation of stolen items and will ensure the owner is registered on our secure register.
VIN CHIP Kits for trailers
VIN CHIP has a range of kits for plant, car, livestock, flat bed, equine, horse, farm trailers and more.
What is the problem?
Criminals are more determined than ever before. Despite visual security markings, when someone is determined to steal something, they will. This is why our multi-layered approach covers three crucial elements of vehicle theft.
Prevention is the first stage but should the unimaginable happen, other elements of the VIN CHIP anti-theft solution will come into effect and when a suspicious vehicle is investigated, law enforcement have the training and the tools to quickly and easily verify true ownership and return the asset to the legal owner.
“The thieves behind this latest surge in quad theft are slicker, more determined and more prolific than before”
‘’the thefts we are seeing are hitting farmers twice as hard because of the difficulties getting replacement kit.”
Bob Henderson, Technical Engineering Manager at NFU Mutual
