If it's expensive and it leaves the yard, we'll protect it.
ARX started with Trimble survey instruments, but the goal is bigger: cover the precision survey market brand by brand, then the high-value gear around it. Whatever we haven't built a Shield for yet, our scan-to-product service can make. Run a brand or model we don't list? Tell us — it shapes what we build next.
Built to fit, brand by brand.
The Shield isn't a universal bracket — each one is scanned and engineered to fit a specific instrument family. The series prefix marks the brand: T for Trimble (shipping now), with TC (Topcon), L (Leica), and S (Sokkia) in development.
Our goal is full coverage of the precision survey market, one brand at a time — and the custom scan service fills any gap we haven't reached yet.
- Trimble instruments — T-Series Shield, shipping now
- Topcon, Leica & Sokkia — TC, L and S series in development
- Heavy civil accessories & attachments that detach and disappear
- Don't see your brand or model? That's what the scan service is for.

Tracking for accessories & attachments
Heavy civil loses more than whole machines — it's the buckets, couplers, breakers, and attachments that detach, get moved, and go missing. Our tracking solutions extend past holding gear in place to knowing where it is and getting it back.
- Trackers sized for heavy civil accessories and attachments
- Concealed, tamper-aware placement on detachable components
- Pro-tier LTE-M reporting for network-independent recovery
- Built for the asset class theft targets most — the parts that come off
- Excavator buckets & thumbs
- Quick couplers
- Hydraulic breakers / hammers
- Compaction & auger attachments
- Portable units that ride between sites
Don't see your equipment?
That's the point. Book a consult, we'll scan it, and build the solution for your lineup — survey, civil, or whatever leaves your yard.
