Joint -Venture ramps up fight against demolition equipment theft.
At SED 2009, Enigma Vehicle Systems PLC and Meck Lock UK will announce a new collaboration in security and tracking products for the UK demolition and construction equipment industry. The companies have jointly developed a new system that provides the benefits of the Skyline advanced GPS satellite tracking and telematics system from Enigma and the hydraulic anti-theft system from Meck Lock simultaneously. The new system will be demonstrated for the first time on the Meck Lock Stand No 140P in the Blue Pavilion at SED.
Mike Ford, Managing Director of Meck Lock UK, said: “We have been examining the satellite tracking market for some time now and found that the Enigma system and service was top of the tree. Unlike many of the tracking companies out there, Enigma has a strong focus and an excellent track record in the construction equipment market and could provide the intricacy we needed. Through our new collaboration, customers now have a system that combines the best of two very good products to provide a truly formidable barrier against equipment theft.”
Ian Keam-George, Chief Executive of Enigma Vehicle Systems, said: “A number of our customers specify the Meck Lock system, which is one of the leading anti-theft products of its type on the market. Our new collaboration is in response to requests to combine the systems, but we have taken this a stage further so that Skyline not only provides tracking and telematics information, it also allows customers to communicate with and operate the Meck Lock system remotely. We believe the combination of the systems adds a new element to the protection of remote assets in the construction equipment industry.”
