GPS Asset trackers for vehicle recovery: Leading-edge protection for high-value assets

Expert vehicle recovery solutions with GPS asset tracking

At Radius, we specialise in providing GPS asset tracking devices that help protect and recover stolen vehicles, machinery, and equipment. Designed with a focus on stealth and effectiveness, our battery-powered devices are easy to install in hidden locations and only report in periodically, reducing the risk of detection by thieves. Our asset trackers have assisted in recovering hundreds of stolen items for our customers, representing millions of pounds.

The growing threat of vehicle and machinery theft in the UK

According to reports from the Construction Equipment Association (CEA), equipment theft in the UK is estimated to cost the construction industry over £800 million annually. Agricultural machinery theft also remains a significant problem, with the NFU Mutual reporting that rural crime, including vehicle and equipment theft, costs the UK over £40 million each year.

Key features of our GPS asset trackers for vehicle recovery

Discreet installation: Our trackers are compact and designed to be hidden in various parts of your equipment or vehicle, making them difficult to locate by thieves.

Periodic location reporting: Unlike typical trackers that send continuous location updates, our asset trackers report periodically, making it harder for scanners to detect and disable them.

Reliable battery life: Built to last, our GPS asset trackers have long battery lives, ensuring continued protection over extended periods.

How our devices help in vehicle recovery

The ability to discreetly track stolen vehicles or equipment gives you an invaluable edge when it comes to recovery. Once you report the theft to the authorities, you can provide them with real-time tracking data from our telematics platform. In many cases, this has led to rapid recovery, minimising losses and helping customers avoid major operational disruptions.

What to do in the event of theft

Alert authorities immediately: After discovering a theft, contact the police and provide them with access to your tracking platform.

Activate tracking system: If you’re using our GPS asset trackers, monitor the real-time location data provided by the device.

Cooperate with law enforcement: Use the tracking reports to guide authorities toward the stolen asset’s location, ensuring a swift recovery.

Combining asset tracking with vehicle tracking for extra security

While our GPS asset trackers offer unparalleled covert tracking capabilities, pairing them with our vehicle tracking devices can add an extra layer of protection. For example, if a thief discovers and removes a visible device like our Vision-Uno, a secondary hidden asset tracker can continue to provide location updates.

The benefits of dual-layer security

Backup tracking: Even if the main tracking device is compromised, the hidden GPS asset tracker can act as a fail-safe, transmitting crucial location data.

Full fleet protection: This combination is especially useful for high-value fleet vehicles, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and any other asset that requires maximum security.
