The forklift belonging to NSW based RMP Abrasive Blasting, was fitted with Fleetfinder’s GPS tracking system, as were all their other machines, since 2009. Stolen on Monday, 17^th January 2011, the company was able to pinpoint the exact location of the forklift, how long it had been there and even the route the thieves had taken, just by logging onto Fleetfinder the next day.
RMP Abrasive Blasting downloaded the necessary reports and sought the assistance of the local police who managed to find the stolen forklift in the backyard of a house.
“This tracking system has proven to be immeasurable as it has saved us hundreds of downtime hours in processing insurance paperwork, sustaining delays in repairs or organising a replacement, had the forklift not been found,” said a very relieved Ray Ellis, Managing Director of RMP Abrasive Blasting.
“The initial costs of installing GPS units to the fleet have now been recovered by this incident,” added Ellis, affirming that apart from being used as a billing tool, the system is indeed cost effective.
The fleetfinder GPS Tracking System was purchased from one of fleetfinder’s dealer-National Representative Solutions Pty Ltd.
