It makes the manufacturer the only firm to offer the anti-theft marking system on its breakers.
Paul Hartshorn, director and general manager of JCB Attachments, said: “This move is in direct response to our customers, who have asked us to come up with an effective anti-theft deterrent for their breakers.
“Theft of attachments is an ever-growing and often uninsurable problem for our customers that is having a big impact.
“By registering the breakers with CESAR we are aligning our hammers with the JCB carrier machines which are already protected by CESAR and Datatag technology.”
Datatag has developed a special marking system to cope with the demanding application and working conditions that a hydraulic breaker will encounter.
This includes a tamper evident triangular registration plate, with a unique number for each breaker.
Radio frequency identification transponders are installed on the hammer, along with uniquely numbered ultra-destruct labels with additional covert marking.
“We wanted to ensure that we had a durable security marking solution and so we developed the new system in conjunction with leading hirer Clee Hill Plant,” says Chris Harrison, Datatag’s sales director.
“We have had a security system working on Clee Hill breakers for over a year and so we’re confident about the durability of the CESAR breaker system.”
