Check equipment before you buy

How do you know if you are buying stolen equipment? How do you know if it has outstanding finance? Even if you bought an item at auction, the police can still confiscate stolen items and return them to their rightful owners, leaving you with nothing but a bad reputation. Make sure your fleet is 100% legal with a simple TER Check.

Accurate plant valuations

TER can value a single item or an entire fleet of equipment, providing you with up to date, accurate market value and a valuation certificate to back up sale or purchase price.

Equipment registration for hire companies

Registering equipment on the TER database gives us accurate ownership information that we can share with the police, law enforcement agencies, auction houses and equipment dealers in the event of theft. Stolen equipment is, more often than not, destined for overseas and we can alert ports police to help prevent your equipment being exported. Insurers look favourably at premiums for TER registered items and we can help you save money by providing TER Check & Registration certificates to highlight due diligence and proof of ownership.

Report a theft

If you are the unfortunate victim of equipment theft, it is vital that you report it to TER as well as the police. We have connections with all UK police forces and ports police, as well as auction houses, so if an item ever comes up for sale, or is seen on the highways or at a port, we can intercept it and return it to you.
