Some good tips from Business Vans
The five-point guide to van security:
Fit the right security equipment
There are a range of options available with popular solutions including slam locks and trackers. Look at which will be the best way to protect your van and make it difficult, noisy, or time consuming for thieves to get in
Protect the keys
Modern locking systems make it comparatively difficult to break into many vans through the locks, so thieves often target the keys. Ensure that drivers keep them secure and out of sight at all times.
Selective branding
A heavily liveried van is a good advertisement for your business – but also an indication of what is inside as criminals can target certain industries or even companies. If you are being targeted by thieves, adopting plain, white vans might be a good move. Major fleets have certainly done this in the past.
Park the van in a sensible place
If your van is being left for a long period of time, especially overnight, make sure that is parked close to an occupied building or in a conspicuous location.
Get the right advice
Making your van fleet more secure can be an expensive business. You can easily add up to £1,000 to the cost of a van in locks and other items. Make sure that you are getting professional advice that enables you to fit the right equipment to the right vans operating in the right areas.
