Hi we are taking delivery of some new machines, we install trackers as standard. What security do you recommend?

Battery isolator and vandal covers to make it difficult.
Tracker to find where it went.
You don't have to make it impossible to steal, just more difficult than the next one!

Dozer blade locks - no good for me as I trap the buckets under the blade.
Or a lot use a track lock to stop them being tracked out so easy.
Problem nowadays is the cordless grinders are brilliant! And oxy is as good as silent so nothing is unchoppable.

Fit a remote tap on the diesel to the injection pump so you can stop it being started?
Or fit some flexible hose in the feed that can be squashed to stop and diesel flowing, the silicone hose used in peristaltic pumps is pretty immune to anything, used in chemical labs.

other thing one can do is fit a solenoid op fuel valve ... some also have a manual over-ride built into them which unless you know them make them pretty damned near foolproof as a fuel isolator
... can be locked off or on manually and well stashed'd take some defeating ... used to use them on LPG conversions for carbuerated engines

Another thing depending on the machine is remove a component from the deadmans handle assembly.
The old machines where easy as a pin could be replaced by nu and bolt
Some new machines the bracket that engages the switch is adjustable and could be easily moved just enough over night to leave the machine dead unless they have the time to trouble shoot

or my fave .. a Hella socket/plug in series in the dead man circuit, with the plug linked .. pull the plug and the circuit is dead ... and looks totally innocuous, just like your average accessory socket
.... handy even if just jumping out the machine for ten .. no plug - no worky Footer block 1
