The Challenge

The Organised Crime Targeting
Your Construction Fleet.

Weekend Site Raids

Organised gangs target unguarded construction sites over weekends. An excavator worth €180,000 can be loaded onto a low-loader and driven across the border before Monday morning.

Serial Number Grinding

Thieves grind off manufacturer serial plates within minutes of theft. Traditional tracking relies on plate numbers — EURODOT microdots are bonded to surfaces and survive grinding.

Cross-Border Trafficking

Stolen plant is moved to Eastern European markets where provenance checks are inconsistent. Without an EU-recognised forensic identifier, recovery is near impossible.

Insurance Disputes

Without proof of ownership or evidence of due diligence, insurers dispute claims. EURODOT certification reduces claim disputes and qualifies for premium reductions.

Assets Protected

High-Value Plant. Total Coverage.

Excavators

Mini, midi and full-size excavators — the most frequently stolen construction plant in Europe.

€40,000 – €350,000 per unit

Cranes & Telehandlers

Mobile cranes and telehandlers targeted for high resale value and ease of transport across borders.

€80,000 – €600,000 per unit

Generators

Diesel generators stolen from remote construction sites — often unguarded and easily transported on flatbeds.

€15,000 – €120,000 per unit

Compactors & Rollers

Road-building equipment stolen from overnight storage on active road projects.

€20,000 – €180,000 per unit

Lighting Towers

Portable lighting towers are a frequent target on rural sites — EURODOT marks survive repainting and resale.

€8,000 – €30,000 per unit

Attachments & Buckets

High-value excavator attachments, augers and specialist buckets frequently stripped and sold separately.

€5,000 – €45,000 per unit
The EURODOT Solution

Three Layers of Protection.
Built for the Toughest Environments.

Industrial Forensic Marking

Heavy-duty polymer microdots formulated to withstand construction environments — oil, grease, vibration, repainting and grinding. Applied across chassis, engine block, boom arm and key components. Readable by any EU police UV wand.

Fleet GPS & Geofencing

TRACS platform provides live GPS location for every marked asset. Geofence alerts trigger the moment machinery moves outside approved zones — even at 2am on a Sunday. Fleet managers are notified instantly.

AA-Europe Recovery Network

Stolen machinery flagged in the AA-Europe pan-EU network. Border agencies and port authorities receive automated alerts. Cross-border recovery co-ordinated with national police forces — dramatically increasing recovery rates.
