Slamlocks for panel vans have become an popular security upgrade and prerequisite for parcel carriers handling final-mile deliveries or any operation where drivers frequently access the load area throughout the day.
As a pioneer in slamlock technology, Maple introduced the first-generation key-operated slamlocks for vans in the late 1980s—at a time when cargo crime was on the rise and effective security solutions were scarce. Working closely with operators who were experiencing facing widespread theft, Maple developed a robust, reliable solution, setting new security standards.
Today, slamlock technology is widely adopted across the transport sector, and Maple continues to lead the way with cutting-edge innovations that keep cargo secure.
MODERN SLAMLOCKS FOR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES: Maple has recently launched an innovative new approach to slamlock vehicle technology, with the van security system, BondLock. Featuring a high specification locking mechanism, installed inside the load area for extra protection, BondLock is a specialised slamlock application designed to combat modern theft techniques, such as keyless theft, where the manufacturers security and central locking systems are simply bypassed.
SLAMLOCKS AND EMERGENCY ACCESS: With BondLock installed, fleet operators can take advantage of flexible access control options such as emergency access PIN entry (in the event keys are lost or locked inside the vehicle) and remote unlocking capabilities (via the use of compatible telematics solutions).
FLEXIBLE SECURITY: BondLock can be quickly tailored to meet operational and individual budget requirements, with options for single or multi-point locking and is suitable for use on side sliding doors, barndoors & tailgate applications.
ActivLock from Maple is a convenient, cost effective & user friendly electronic slamlock solution, interfacing with the vehicles remote central locking and converting it to slamlock operation.
Automatically locking van doors upon closure, ActivLock is particularly popular amongst couriers, parcel delivery companies and multi-drop operators, providing a convenient locking action for the driver, whilst significantly increasing the security of the vehicle.
The driver simply uses the existing remote control to unlock the load area doors. Once a door has been opened it will automatically lock again on closure. Any door that is not opened will relock again after five seconds, ensuring that the vehicle always remains secure.
With no additional lock cylinders to install or mechanical keys to manage, ActivLock OE is an ideal security enhancement for most panel van operations.
Opportunistic theft is a huge problem for van operators, as a van’s load area can be left exposed and vulnerable, should a driver forget or fail to correctly lock van doors when away from the vehicle.
Maple’s mechanical slamlock range can provide the answer, offering reassurance and peace of mind that as the name suggests, once doors are slammed shut, they’re automatically locked! A convenient and effective deterrent to opportunistic theft, slamlocks are an ideal solution for couriers and multi-drop delivery drivers.
Vanguard slamlocks are a robust, internally mounted mechanical lock, fitted with the more secure dimple key as standard and have been tested in conjunction with major fleet operators, for security and resistance to corrosion. The easy fit Vanguard Slamlock offers total peace of mind.
