Hire operators face unique risks – from high asset turnover to vehicles and equipment being stored in exposed or remote locations. Guardian Bell reduces these risks by combining live GPS tracking, professional monitoring, and a structured theft recovery process.
If an asset is not returned or is suspected stolen, an alert is triggered and verified by our monitoring team. Once the potential theft is confirmed, and a crime reference number is obtained, our operators work directly with the police – providing real-time location updates until the asset is recovered. Throughout the process, the operator receives regular updates, ensuring transparency and swift recovery.
Guardian Bell’s hire operator tracking system is fully Thatcham S7 approved, giving operators and insurers confidence in its performance and reliability.

Devices meet stringent Thatcham standards for tracking accuracy and tamper resistance.
