The National Plant and Equipment Register recovered six pieces of equipment worth £100,000 last month.
The recoveries included helping Surrey police identify a JCB that had been stolen only 24 hours before.
The register also identified a Komatsu recovered in West Yorkshire as one stolen in Halifax two weeks earlier.
The register's Tim Purbrick said one insurer, impressed with the register's success, was now considering making registration a mandatory insurance condition.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
