DUMPER manufacturer Thwaites confirmed at Hillhead 2024 that it has become the latest firm to commit to the CESAR security and registration scheme powered by Datatag ID Ltd.
The scheme is designed to help deter criminal activity and, in the event of theft, offer a greater chance of recovery and prosecution.
Owned by the Construction Equipment Association (CEA), the scheme is monitored and responded to 24/7, with the likelihood of recovery said to increase to six times more than that of a machine not protected by multi-layered identification technologies.
Andrew Sabin, Thwaites general sales manager, said, “We are pleased to confirm our participation in the CESAR Scheme. Thwaites will always ensure we protect our brand, our distributors, and our loyal owners and operators.
“Reducing the total cost of dumper ownership by lowering insurance premiums and further protecting market-leading residuals is something we fundamentally endorse and support.”
Viki Bell, director of operations at the CEA, added, “We are excited to see Thwaites join the CESAR Scheme. Their decision highlights the industry’s growing recognition of the value and effectiveness of the CESAR Scheme and its unique security measures in protecting valuable equipment and deterring theft. Thwaites’ commitment to this initiative emphasises their dedication to safeguarding their machinery and supporting the broader efforts of the CEA to combat equipment theft across the industry.”
Kevin Howells, CEO of the CESAR Scheme technology and delivery partner DatatagID, commented, “We are delighted to welcome Thwaites to the CESAR Scheme after extensive discussions and a thorough evaluation process. Thwaites’ adoption of CESAR reinforces their commitment to security and the critical importance of our multi-layered forensic identification technologies. This partnership marks another significant step forward in further improving security measures within the construction equipment industry.”
