Stop equipment theft before it happens. Momentum IoT helps landscapers, contractors, and rental companies protect their most valuable assets from thieves—from trailers to skid steers to mowers and blowers.
With Momentum, you’ll know where it is. Get notified when it moves. Recover it fast if it’s stolen.
The Rising Threat of Equipment Theft
Fleet equipment theft prevention should be on every owner’s mind. Theft, downtime, and missing gear are a daily risk for anyone who owns trucks, trailers, or heavy equipment. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) reported that equipment theft is a $1 billion dollar problem, but sadly only 7% of stolen equipment is recovered. That’s why many fleet owners are using GPS tracking to help stop theft before it happens and recover assets fast if it does.
What Gets Stolen The Most & Why
-
Trailers
Enclosed, flatbed, and utility trailers are highly mobile and easy to steal. Whether they’re used for landscaping, service calls, or deliveries, trailers are a top target for both professional and opportunistic thieves.
-
Construction Equipment
Skid steers, excavators, small backhoes, compressors, and generators because they are all high-value, high-risk items. This is especially true when left overnight on jobsites.
-
Landscaping Tools & Small Equipment
Mowers, blowers, trimmers and toolboxes disappear fast from open trailers and unsecured yards. They’re super easy to sell and usually untraceable because they don’t have unique serial numbers.
Fleet Asset Protection
When your tools, trailers, equipment, or vehicles go missing, you take a hit. Lost time. Missed jobs. That’s money out the door. And insurance doesn’t cover the headaches and downtime of replacing your gear.
Momentum IoT helps you stop theft before it happens and recover what’s yours quickly if it does.
Our Eagle One GPS tracker gives you real-time visibility into your most valuable assets. You’ll know when equipment moves unexpectedly, when vehicles are being used after hours, or when something’s not where it should be.
Stay in Control With GPS Tracking
Fleet Equipment Theft Prevention is not easy, but it’s not impossible. Most thefts aren’t elaborate heists being carefully planned in some smoky back room. They’re fast, opportunistic, and almost always preventable. The trick to avoiding being a victim is to take a layered approach to security. If the worst does happen, your reaction time is the difference between getting your equipment back and filing a claim. Momentum alerts and real-time tracking let you respond immediately so you increase the chances of getting it back.
- Set Boundaries Instantly – Define digital geofences and receive alerts when a vehicle or trailer crosses them.
- Monitor After-Hours Activity – Get immediate notifications if equipment moves during off-hours or outside designated zones.
- Access Live HD Video – Add Momentum dash cams to capture real-time images and streaming footage of both the road and cabin.
- Recover Assets Quickly – Share live asset tracking maps with law enforcement so they can recover your property quickly.
- Install with Ease – The Eagle One GPS tracker features a compact, rugged design that’s also weatherproof, made in the USA, and about the size of an 8-ounce block of American cheese.
- Ensure Continuous Power – Eagle One can operate on its internal rechargeable battery for up to 6 months, so you get uninterrupted tracking.
- Opt for Covert Installation – Connect directly to the 12V battery instead of using the OBD-II port for a more discreet setup.
