The DPL Group launches the Titan anti-theft system for heavy equipment. Once covertly installed on a machine, the system automatically immobilizes that machine every night to eliminate unauthorized movement and theft.

Built exclusively for the construction industry, the system protects all equipment types and models, regardless of manufacturer. A revolutionary feature is the system's ability to routinely immobilize heavy equipment without manual locks, special keys or user programming.

It also doubles as a fleet management tool. Managers may remotely monitor equipment engine hours and location via the wireless reporting capabilities of the system. Using these features, the system also delivers reduced maintenance costs, more accurate billing and increased fleet utilization.

“Previously, heavy equipment theft protection technology was centered around recovery and notification after a machine was stolen,” says Ray Crowdis, director of Telemetry Technologies at DPL. “The unique focus of the Titan system is to prevent theft from occurring in the first place, although it has theft notifications and recovery features as well. The solution is proactive prevention rather than reactive recovery.”
