The National Crime Information Center
recently reported that big rig tractor trailer theft hit an all-time
high in 2004, and with the ever-increasing
valuation of big rig trucks, it is expected that theft will continue
to increase as well.
Big rigs are targeted both for the resale value of the vehicles
and for the valuable cargo contained in those vehicles. In fact,
only 10% of stolen tractor trailer rigs are ever recovered, and
owners, operators and insurers face rising costs and challenges
attempting to protect their vehicles. Your satellite dispatch
and tracking systems help you keep track of where your vehicles
are located, but only the Ravelco can prevent a thief from taking
the vehicle in the first place.
For less than the cost of filling up the fuel tanks, you can
protect the truck with the Ravelco Anti-Theft Device. One option
for our Class A truck installation allows the trucks to idle
with the protection engaged and immobilizes the trucks completely
when they are not in use. Drivers simply remove the Ravelco plug
when they step away from the vehicle, and the rig is completely
immobilized. When they return, the truck starts instantly and
effectively, every single time.
While there are other anti-theft solutions for Class A trucks
on the market, none is as effective, affordable or reliable as
the Ravelco Anti-Theft Device. Call us today for a free estimate – we
can install the Ravelco for you or train your mechanics to perform
the installation on your fleet.
