Protect Your Equipment this Year with the National Equipment Register

Author, Megan Lockhart, Marketing & Media Communications Specialist, Rancho Mesa Insurance Services, Inc.

The National Equipment Register (NER) plays an important role in protecting heavy equipment owners from theft by maintaining a national database of equipment ownership and stolen machinery that is used by both law enforcement and insurance agencies. When equipment is registered, it provides clear proof of ownership, making it easier for police to identify stolen equipment and increasing the chances of recovery if a theft occurs.

NER helps deter theft and reduce financial losses. Registered equipment is flagged in systems used by buyers, lenders, and insurers, making stolen machines harder to resell.

Additionally, Rancho Mesa, in partnership with NER, offers premium discounts when utilizing HELPtech for registered equipment, helping clients lower costs while improving their theft prevention.
