National Equipment Register

Hundreds of millions of dollars of mobile equipment is stolen from construction sites and farms throughout North America every year. Most of this equipment is never recovered.

Since 2001 NER has been developing comprehensive databases of equipment ownership, theft reports and machine identification characteristics. NER's services have assisted law enforcement in recovering millions of dollars of heavy equipment and greatly increased the risk of arrest for equipment thieves. Buyers of used equipment can now also request searches of the NER database through IRONcheck.
