When your trailer is not at the place YOU left it the day before…
“When I park my container chassis trailers on a non-protected parking in the harbor on Friday, I’m almost sure at least 1 will be used by somebody during the weekend. With Trailer Immobilizer, I can lock the wheels of the trailer, so no one can move it around without me knowing it.” - Fleet Manager, Belgium, Antwerp
“Four of our tankers were recently stolen from our company’s parking lot. They just broke the fence, and drove them away. With Trailer Immobilizer, they can still break the fence, but not drive my trailers away.” – Tanker transport company, UK
“On Monday morning, we got a transport company calling us that their trailer with 1100 cases of wine was stolen from an industrial parking. On Saturday night, a truck was stolen a couple of kilometers away. We now try to investigate whether the two thefts are related. The theft of the trailer might have been prevented by a good locking system.” – Chief inspector, Police France
Trailer Immobilizer: find your trailer where you left it.
Trailer Immobilizer allows you to lock the wheels of your trailer by entering a 4 digit PIN code in the trailer SmartBoard, such as the PIN code of a mobile phone. Once enabled, Immobilizer activates an alarm when someone tries to move the trailer or tries to tamper with the braking system.
As Immobilizer is integrated in the EBS system, it is a clean and attractive alternative for king pin locks, as it requires no physical key, and no handling of a greasy, dirty lock.
If you intend to buy a new trailer, ask your trailer manufacturer for the WABCO TRAILER IMMOBILIZER PACKAGE containing
a SmartBoard*
an Immobilizer Valve (LACViC)
the Immobilizer Activation Code.
*WABCO recommends to activate Immobilizer only in areas and environments where the temperature is expected not to drop below -20°C, as the SmartBoard display becomes invisible below -20°C
