HGV Drivers and Hauliers Protect From Stowaways with Zenloc Container Alarm

April 17, 2009 - PRLog -- at the same time protecting themselves from hefty fines administered from the UK Border Agency (UKBA) to those “trying to smuggle” illegal immigrants into the UK. The Zenloc Container Security Alarm (www.zenloc.com) is proving vital in the world of haulage security in a number of ways, with security from stowaways being the latest.

The UKBA collected more than £1.5m in fines during 2008 from HGV drivers and hauliers caught carrying stowaways into Britain, but what is key is that these fines were levied on those seen to be "trying to smuggle illegal immigrants into the UK". Fines were only levied on those haulage companies and drivers that did not have an effective security system in place (in line with the UKBA's Prevention of Clandestine Entry: Code of Practice). The Zenloc Container Security Alarm is one such security system, both highly effective and in accordance with the UKBA’s guidelines. What’s more, the Zenloc alarm has unique and globally patented features that make this one of the most effective and groundbreaking container security alarms to hit the container security marketplace in years.

The head of the UKBA, Brodie Clark, comments: "Vehicle operators and drivers are right to be concerned about clandestines who will seize any opportunity to enter a vehicle destined for the UK” and he highlights rest stops at borders to be particular hotspots for this clandestine activity. This is precisely where the Zenloc container security alarm comes into its own. The remote indication of attempted interference that is so central to the design of the Zenloc allows the driver to be at rest or away from their vehicle and still be notified of any security breach, while the vehicle itself is protected by a visual and audible alarm.

Given that illegal immigration cross-border by stowaways is an increasing problem, and that maximum combined fine per stowaway is £4,000, it’s little wonder that the Zenloc container security alarm is fast becoming a must-have for haulage companies. For more information, visit www.zenloc.com.
