Case Study: West Hire recovers stolen trailers and reduces theft risk with Powerfleet

West Hire Boosts Fleet Efficiency and Safety with Powerfleet Solutions

West Hire, a trailer hire company serving service station sites in Perth, was losing up to 10% of its fleet each year to theft, with stolen trailers costing around $7,500 each and insurance too expensive for a small business. To reduce losses, West Hire turned to Powerfleet’s asset tracking solution, specifically the AT4 tracker, to protect its high-risk trailers.

Powerfleet implemented self-contained asset trackers on four high-risk trailers, supported by simple installation and web-based monitoring. The results were strong: West Hire recovered a stolen trailer within 24 hours in the first month, and another within 6 hours even after it had been re-plated and resprayed. In total, West Hire recovered three of the tracked trailers after theft, helping avoid costly replacements and giving the business real-time visibility into its fleet.
