"Hewden is taking an industry lead by fitting failsafe Kosran security systems. It is the only system with the industry standard Thatcham P2 rating. We will be offering Kosran-equipped machines to all our plant hire customers. The cost of protecting the equipment results in a very small premium on weekly hire rates.

Prevent the theft or enjoy the recovery? AMMANN - European Plant Manufacturer

"Surely it is better to prevent the loss of your valuable asset rather than to hope that you can recover it once it has gone.
Traditional forms of tracking device are not always able to recover stolen plant. Kosran’s innovative engineering has filled the void. I would not normally wish to endorse a specific security system but the Kosran ECV System deserves its status as the UK No.1 generic plant industry theft deterrent."

Robert Brown, MD, Ammann Equipment Limited.

GE Plant Hire - Adopts Kosran Security System

Following an 18 month trial, plant hirer GE Equipment Services has decided to specify Kosran’s immobilisation system on its excavators, rollers, dumpers and telehandlers. The Hirer, which spends around £30m-a-year on new equipment, has found Kosran’s keypad/PIN number system overcomes the problems key-based security systems cause plant hirers.
