Frequently AskedSecurity Questions

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions we get when it comes to keeping your trailer safe.

What are the most effective ways to secure a trailer when it's not in use?

The best methods to secure a trailer when it's not in use include using high-quality hitch locks, wheel clamps, and coupling locks. Additionally, parking the trailer in a well-lit, visible area or a locked garage can deter theft. Employing a cover for your trailer can also be effective, as it makes it less obvious what is being stored and can provide an additional layer of security.

Can GPS tracking systems be used for trailer security?

Yes, GPS tracking systems are an excellent tool for trailer security. They allow you to monitor the location of your trailer in real time. In the event of theft, a GPS tracker can significantly increase the chances of recovering the trailer by providing precise location data to law enforcement authorities.

How important is it to mark or identify my trailer?

Marking or identifying your trailer is crucial. It not only aids in the recovery if it's stolen but also acts as a deterrent to potential thieves. Use identifiable markings, VINs, or even custom identifiers that are difficult to remove or alter. Some owners also opt for discrete markings inside the trailer for added identification.

What should I consider when choosing a lock for my trailer?

When selecting a lock for your trailer, consider its resistance to common bypass methods like cutting, drilling, or picking. Look for locks made of high-grade materials, ideally with a design that minimises exposed shackles. Additionally, choose weather-resistant locks to ensure longevity and consistent performance.

Are there any preventive measures to take while hitching the trailer to my vehicle?

Yes, when hitching your trailer, always ensure that the hitch lock is securely fastened and that the coupler is properly engaged with the tow vehicle. Use a locking pin to secure the hitch to the vehicle. It's also advisable to check the condition of the hitch mechanism regularly for signs of wear or tampering.
