JCB arise as anti-theft CESAR

JCB has stepped up the battle against construction equipment theft by announcing that seven models in its Hammermaster hydraulic breaker ranges are to get CESAR marking as standard. The move means JCB, which was the first major manufacturer to make CESAR standard on its construction range in 2007, is the only firm to offer the anti-theft marking system on its breakers in the UK.

255 JCB has stepped up the battle against construction equipment theft by announcing that seven models in its Hammermaster hydraulic breaker ranges are to get 2921 CESAR marking as standard.

The move means JCB, which was the first major manufacturer to make CESAR standard on its construction range in 2007, is the only firm to offer the anti-theft marking system on its breakers in the UK.

“This move is in direct response to our customers, who have asked us to come up with an effective anti-theft deterrent for their breakers,” says Paul Hartshorn, director and general manager of JCB Attachments. “Theft of attachments is an ever-growing and often uninsurable problem for our customers. By registering the breakers with CESAR we are aligning our hammers with the JCB carrier machines which are already protected by CESAR and 5463 Datatag technology.”

Datatag has developed a special marking system for the demanding application and working conditions that a hydraulic breaker encounters. It includes a tamper evident triangular registration plate, with a unique number for each breaker. Radio frequency identification (RFID) transponders are installed on the hammer, along with uniquely numbered ultra-destruct labels with additional covert marking.

    Improved surface quality and improved machine design are key trends in the asphalt paving sector, Mike Woof reports There is a big difference in asphalt paving techniques in North America and Europe. In North America, the need to construct long stretches of highway quickly resulted in wide pavers offering high throughput capacity, with compaction equipment then being used to achieve the required density of the various courses. In Europe's highway construction projects, distances tend to be shorter and contr
