Trucking Security product

Often the engine must be left idling during deliveries or in order to power pumps and refrigeration units. Carrying hazardous materials or not, the custom installed Ravelco allows a driver to leave a truck unattended with confidence. If the vehicle is idling, removing the Ravelco plug acts as an engine governor. If the vehicle is turned off, removing the Ravelco plug will ensure that the vehicle will not start without the ignition key and the unique plug. Fleet operators have effectively added two layers of anti-thef

Both aspects are important when addressing tractor trailers and heavy trucks. Big rigs are often left idling at rest stops and truck stops. And trucks carrying hazardous materials, electronic equipment, sensitive documents and other loads are particularly vulnerable. Hazardous materials being transported are vulnerable to sabotage or misuse and in the wrong hands pose significant security threats. Since hazardous materials are frequently transported in large quantities, once mobile, they are particularly vulnerable to theft, interception, detonation, or release. Tanker trucks carry as much fuel as a 757.

The National Crime Information Center recently reported that big rig tractor trailer theft hit an all-time high in 2006, and with the ever-increasing valuation of big rig trucks, it is expected that theft will continue to increase as well. The risk of a vehicle being stolen is higher than ever, and the direct and indirect costs of dealing with a stolen vehicle increase every day. The cost of protecting your vehicles with the Ravelco is more than recouped by defeating a single theft attempt.
