Multiquip Helps Customers Combat Equipment Theft

By Multiquip, Inc.

Multiquip Inc. announced that it will register equipment that it sells with the National Equipment Register (NER) to help its customers combat equipment theft.

NER is a database company dedicated to helping equipment owners deter theft and recover stolen equipment. The partnership strictly limits NER's use of this information to helping a police officer identify the true owner of a machine 24 hours a day.

NER has helped recover more than $13 million of stolen equipment by providing law enforcement with the information that they need to quickly identify a machine and its owner at any time, day or night. This partnership guarantees identification for any Multiquip machine and police will be encouraged to look at more Multiquip machines due to the greater likelihood of success. Multiquip machines have just become a much worse risk for equipment thieves.
