Van theft can be a major setback for any business, causing not only financial loss but also downtime and inconvenience. To protect your van and tools from theft, it’s crucial to invest in reliable security solutions. Here, we’ll focus on some of the key products offered by Trade Price Vans, products designed to enhance the security of your vehicle and keep thieves at bay.
L4V Van Alarm
The highly anticipated L4V Van Alarm is here – the only Thatcham-certified aftermarket van alarm dedicated to the Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV) market. Specifically engineered to respond to cutting-edge criminal attack methods, our latest development into van security systems features anti-sabotage technology and is completely unique to the popular LCVs on today’s roads. The L4V Van Alarm is designed to detect and respond to unauthorised entry attempts, including sophisticated bypass techniques. Its dual shock and motion sensors ensure that any tampering with the van or attempted break-in triggers an immediate alarm. This not only deters thieves but also alerts the vehicle owner, allowing them to take swift action.
The L4V Van Alarm offers comprehensive protection with its advanced anti-sabotage technology. It integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing electrical systems, alerting you through both audible and visual signals if there is any attempt to tamper with the van. Its installation is straightforward, and it provides peace of mind by significantly reducing the risk of theft.
L4V Deadlock
The L4V Deadlock is a mechanical deadlock for vans operating independently from the manufacturer’s locking system. It is very similar to the L4V Hook Lock, however, this lock engages a ‘straight bolt’ (20mm-50mm) into its opposing body section. Operated by its high-security external key under the full control of the driver, the L4V Deadlock provides an additional layer of protection against forced entry. This deadlock is recommended for use on the vehicle’s cab doors, offering an extra level of security for the most vulnerable access points.
Installed at a strategic point on the van, the L4V Deadlock secures the door by engaging a bolt that extends into the vehicle’s bodywork. This prevents the door from being opened using the original van locks or through brute force. It’s particularly useful for owner-drivers who need to secure their vehicle when parked overnight or at isolated locations.
L4V Hook Lock
The L4V Hook Lock is a mechanical deadlock operating independently from the manufacturer’s locking system. A deadlocking hook bolt engages into its opposing body section. Operated by its high-security external key under the full control of the driver, this lock provides an extra level of protection against forced entry. We recommend our Hook Lock be fitted to both the side and rear doors of the van, enhancing security in areas most targeted by thieves.
The Hook Lock is installed on the van’s door at a point that isn’t controlled by the original locks. When activated, the hook bolt extends into the opposing section of the door frame, making it much harder for thieves to manipulate or bypass. This lock is ideal for businesses that store high-value equipment and need to ensure that their vans are fully secure when unattended.
L4V Anti-Peel Kits
The L4V Anti-Peel Kits, also known as our L4V Anti-Peel Brackets, have been specifically designed to significantly reduce and prevent the risk of the peel-and-steal type of attack on a van’s side doors. By leveraging weight and applying pressure to the weak points on your doors, thieves can prise them open, literally allowing them access to your cargo in a matter of seconds. The Anti-Peel Kit reinforces the door structure, making it much harder for thieves to gain entry without triggering the door’s alarm system.
The Anti-Peel Kit uses specially designed brackets to create a strong, resilient barrier across the door seams. This reinforcement makes it difficult for thieves to apply the necessary leverage to force open the doors. It’s a vital addition for tradespeople and businesses whose work involves transporting tools and equipment, ensuring that their van remains secure against this increasingly common crime.
L4V Shielding Range
L4V offers a comprehensive range of shielding solutions to help provide both internal and external protection and reduce the risk of bodywork punctures and handle spikes which give access to internal locking mechanisms, wiring looms and door latches. The L4V Shielding Range includes metal plates and guards that prevent thieves from drilling through panels or accessing critical wiring. This additional layer of protection makes it harder for criminals to compromise your vehicle’s security systems and gain access to your tools.
The Shielding Range incorporates robust materials that absorb impact and resist attempts to tamper with the vehicle. These shielding products are designed to fit seamlessly onto your van, enhancing both the internal and external security of your vehicle. This makes it significantly harder for thieves to bypass the security measures in place.
To protect your van and tools from theft effectively, it’s essential to choose products from Trade Price Vans that integrate seamlessly into your security setup. The L4V range, featuring the Van Alarm, Deadlock, Hook Lock, Anti-Peel Kits, and Shielding Range, offers a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to deter thieves and safeguard your assets. Invest in these products today to secure your van and tools, allowing your business to thrive without interruption.
Van security is more than just an added cost, it’s an investment in the long-term success of your business. For tradespeople, contractors, and small business owners, the loss of tools and equipment can be devastating. Not only does it result in financial loss, but it can also affect your ability to deliver on client commitments and damage your reputation.
The cost of replacing stolen tools and repairing damage can quickly add up. Investing in quality van security products reduces the likelihood of theft and provides peace of mind. When you protect your van and tools, you’re protecting your investment in your business’s future, ensuring that unexpected expenses don’t disrupt your operations.
A secure van ensures that your business can continue to operate smoothly, even when parked in public spaces or at job sites. This minimises downtime and allows you to focus on what you do best, providing services to your customers. With the right security measures in place, you can maintain productivity and deliver a high-quality service.
For businesses that rely on repeat customers, van security is crucial. If customers feel confident that their service provider takes security seriously, it can enhance your reputation and lead to increased business. A secure van shows professionalism and reliability, helping you to build trust with your clients and maintain a strong brand presence.
In addition to financial and operational benefits, van security provides peace of mind for business owners. Knowing that your tools and van are protected allows you to concentrate on your work without worrying about the security of your vehicle. It’s a proactive measure that not only safeguards your assets but also supports your personal well-being.
A secure van can potentially reduce insurance premiums, as insurers often offer discounts for vehicles with comprehensive security measures in place. By investing in high-quality locks, alarms, and shielding, you may be able to lower your overall insurance costs—saving money in the long run.
A secure van also improves the safety of your tools and equipment, reducing the risk of theft and vandalism. This is particularly important for businesses that rely on specialised tools and equipment for their day-to-day operations. A secure van helps to protect these investments and ensures that you have everything you need to get the job done right.
With a van that is well-secured, you can focus more on your work rather than worrying about theft or damage. This leads to increased productivity, allowing you to take on more jobs and grow your business. A secure van can also help maintain a steady workflow, reducing stress and allowing you to deliver consistent, high-quality service to your customers.
Keeping your van and tools secure is essential for the smooth running of your business. By investing in high-quality security solutions such as the L4V range, comprising alarms, deadlocks, anti-peel kits, and shielding, you can significantly reduce the risk of theft. At Trade Price Vans, we are committed to providing our customers with the best tools to protect their assets and safeguard their livelihoods.
