What is an anti-theft lock?
Shipping containers are often stored outdoors and secured with locks. Since the advent of shipping container wheels, transporting shipping containers has become easier. This also means that it is possible for unauthorized persons to move a shipping container. The anti-theft lock makes the container wheels completely immovable and protects against unwanted access and possible theft. The anti-theft lock is similar to a wheel clamp. The clamp is clamped to the spokes of the swivel wheels, completely blocking the wheel. The clamp can only be removed with a unique plug-in key. The anti-theft locks are available in striking colors, namely yellow and red. They are made of steel and a red PVC part, which protects the paintwork of the wheel.
The advantages of anti-theft locks are numerous and crucial for companies that ship valuable goods. First and foremost, these locks provide a physical barrier against theft. They are made of high-quality materials that are resistant to tampering, providing robust protection against unauthorized access.
Another advantage is the prevention of damage. When a container is forced open by thieves, this can cause significant damage to the container itself, as well as to the cargo inside. Anti-theft locks significantly reduce the risk of such damage, allowing companies to avoid costly repairs and loss of goods.
How is an anti-theft lock secured?
Attaching an anti-theft lock to a shipping container wheel is easy. These locks are locked to the spokes of the rim, making them difficult to remove without the key. They come with unique keys and locks.
To secure an anti-theft lock, the user places the lock across the width of the wheel between the spokes. The clamp is then secured with a lock. The lock is designed with a steel housing and a strong locking mechanism that prevents the lock from being forced open. This sturdy attachment ensures that the container is secure during transport and that the contents remain intact, even in potentially risky environments.
