***Van locks are a great example of crime prevention technology and none more so than the slam lock with its automatic locking feature. Because they possess this particular capability, the door being closed is no longer at the hands of the driver’s memory.
Cargo crime is certainly a problem in the EU and is responsible for very large sums of money indeed. Each and every year, there is an alarming number of offences on European roads and criminal gangs are responsible for many of these crimes They already possess strong organisation skills along with extensive knowledge of the routes.
Criminal gangs deal in cargo crime for good reason. By the very nature of logistics along with the sheer volume of goods being transported, it comes with obvious appeal to such a group. Added to that, with this kind of distance of journey, the driver will have regular breaks and the target becomes an obvious target.
The purpose of the slam lock is to counter human error and to this extent, it achieves its purpose. The driver is alleviated from that particular responsibility and with that very responsibility having being so neglected, a way too many number of instances have arisen.
This particular form of cargo crime prevention is highly effective and yet only scratches the surface of combating this logistics disease. As criminal groups turn ti more and more advanced methods so must the logistics industry respond with more and more advanced crime prevention technology. Some of these more advanced options currently on the market include immobilisers and alarm systems. This inevitably results in increased investment, a fact that doesn’t always sit comfortably with the driver. But in the long run, it may just be the smartest investment he can make.-

***Over 60 different species of animals, especially wild animals, have been reported as victims of entanglement on barbed wire fences. Porting the use of such wire in areas where there are many wild animals should be avoided. The best type of wire to pick this case to a rural area is about the smooth galvanized wire. But because the price difference and indifference of the majority of landowners, that care is not taken.
Horses get panic easily to be injured by barbed wire and can cause accident if anyone is ride them at this moment. For this reason is not recommended this product to delimit areas where horses roam freely such as in stables. Such injuries can heal easily in the best cases, but in some rare cases can cause disability or death (particularly due to an infection) if not taken care in time.
Birds or bats may not be able to understand and see the barbs and suffer serious injuries. We have received many reports about bats being killed by barbed wire injuries.
The galvanized wire is classified into three categories: Class I, II and III. Class I, the thinnest, the life expectancy is lower. A string of class I will start to show rust between 8 to 10 years, while the same cable with Class III coating will show rust in 15 to 20 years. The coated aluminum wire is occasionally used, and produces a longer life.
Therefore a more rigorous surveillance is necessary to protect these animals as well as the awareness of landowners. This article aims to this second point, therefore if you know any landowner do not miss the chance to show this article and talk to him about this. Maybe he is planning to build a new fence and after learning the barbed wire risk to the environment it decides by a wire ecologically correct.-
MINI has been in the news lately with regards to the forthcoming Clubman model, the much awaited MINI Cooper wagon. Much like the internationally-inspired wagon concepts, the new Clubman will feature a rear-hinged access (suicide) door plus an extended wheelbase for much-needed extra interior room. Undisguised interior and exterior spy shots have already made their way onto the internet and it’s common knowledge that the car will be debuting this September in Frankfurt. But what’s also got MINI in the news is word regarding a forthcoming compact sport utility vehicle, filling in the niche that smart didn’t when the formore compact SUV was canned.
