Zenloc Container Alarm

Background to the invention

For years the freight industry has suffered losses in many forms.  A lot of which occur while the vehicle carrying freight is at rest and the driver is away from the vehicle taking a break or a sleep in his cab.

The rear doors of these containers being carried which contain the freight are often forced open and the security is easily breached. This system, the ‘Zenloc Container Alarm’ has been designed to warn of such an intrusion.

Unlike other security devices already in use, this system is completely ‘stand alone’ from any electrical systems on the vehicle and gives ‘added driver protection’.

The alarm system

The Zenloc Container Alarm is primarily intended to give a remote indication of attempted interference with the doors of SEALED containers or metal doors.  The system is designed for minimal user attention. Correct attachment is confirmed visually (LED indicator) and audibly (alarm blips). Its use is for both metal containers and the majority of fixed rigid vehicles using the dry freight door system with the locking lever at the centre bottom of these up/over doors.

Any activation would send a coded signal to a receiver, which is carried by the driver and will give a loud audible tone. At the same time the Zenloc Container Alarm would emit a piercing tone and a high intensity strobe light to warn its attacker it has been activated.

The Zenloc Container Alarm can only be deactivated using the coded electronic key neatly built in to the receiver.

Out of range indication

With the system talking to each other a tone will sound on the receiver giving the user warning that the receiver is now out of range of the armed alarm, thus giving the opportunity to either reposition the vehicle or at least warn the user that something needs to happen to make sure the alarm if activated would be noticed.

Mobile security – place alarm on at point of loading and remove once safely at destination!!

The alarm although designed primarily for static use, can now be offered to you for use in a mobile mode in most circumstances.

However badly fitting doors or doors that are old and worn may have excessive movement and may cause alarm to fail.

Caution! For security the secure cord provided must be used at all times the alarm is armed and used in a mobile mode.

Illegal Immigration

With ever growing problem of illegal immigration throughout Europe – the Zenloc Alarm offers a cost effective solution.

Heavy civil penalties are imposed on both Drivers and Haulage owners in the United Kingdom, which can be up £2000.00 PER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT.

With the ZENLOC alarm, both departure and entry border controls will have the added assurance of additional security being provided by haulage operators thereby limiting this activity and certainly reducing the workload and resource allocation that illegal immigration demands of authorities.

This measure will enhance accreditation with the border control agencies and provide peace of mind and save you money.
