Equipment Security

Equipment security is an aspect of rural crime that is particularly relevant to farms and small-holdings, but can affect everyone. In this section, there is general information on how to keep equipment as safe and secure as possible.

There is also a small section of firearms security, but further detailed information can be obtained from the Firearms Licensing department ​​​​​​​

Advice to the public

Machinery Security:

Keys and locks

  • No vehicles should be left in a visible place when not in use.

  • When vehicles or plant equipment are kept outside they should be locked and the keys secured in your possession or in a locked key safe.

  • Consider the use of hitch locks, wheel clamps or ground anchors. You may require a combination of the above to meet insurance requirements.

  • Security markings:

  • All property, including vehicles, should be uniquely marked, photographed and recorded somewhere safe. This should include serial, chassis and model numbers.

  • Use property marking to uniquely mark all types of property.

  • Include your postcode and property name or number in a non-obvious place.

  • Popular options include stamping, etching, UV marking and DNA products.

  • Tracker and data tagging:

  • Consider fitting a tracking device or a data tagging chip.

  • Your insurance company can provide advice on suitable products.

  • Plant Equipment Identification Guide:

    The Plant Equipment Identification Guide is available online but hard copies are available upon request from CESAR

    Diesel theft:
  • Store diesel in a secure fuel tank and use good quality locks.

  • Avoid installing storage tanks in isolated areas, such as outlying buildings.

  • Consider using a mobile tanker that could be removed to a secure place when not in use.

  • Consider the use of a "diesel dye" that makes your diesel traceable and therefore less attractive to thieves.

  • Report incidents of suspicious activity to the police and if possible record vehicle details and descriptions of the people involved.

  • Scrap metal theft:
  • Dispose of scrap metal regularly and legitimately to make your premises less vulnerable to metal thieves.

  • If you are approached by opportunistic "scrap dealers", tell them you have a contract with a legitimate scrap dealer and ask them to leave.

  • Report incidents of suspicious activity to the police and if possible record vehicle details and descriptions of the people involved.

  • Tack security:
  • Secure windows on the inside of tack rooms with solid iron bars (tubular steel can be bent).

  • Secure all doors with good quality locks. Use bolts not screws on the hinges.

  • Property mark tack and display signage to deter thieves. Contact the Property Marking Mailbox to book a visit.

  • Padlock gates with substantial padlocks and heavy duty chains.

  • Consider reversing the top hinge on yard gates to prevent them from being lifted off.

  • Fit security lights and an intruder alarm.

  • Firearms security:
  • There are strict regulations with regard to safe storage and use of firearms.

  • It is an offence not to comply with these conditions.

  • If you need advice about firearms security, contact the force Firearms Licensing Department.
