Mechanical anti-theft devices for cargo trailers

A lock is a simple and proven method for securing your cargo trailer. Frame or chain locks are particularly practical, allowing you to attach the trailer directly to your bike or a fixed object.
These mechanical locks are inexpensive, easy to install, and effectively deter thieves.
For even more security, combine the lock with a GPS tracker to locate your trailer at any time.

GPS tracker for cargo trailers – More security for your bike trailer

Mechanical locks are important – but a GPS tracker offers additional protection: It shows you the current location of your cargo trailer at all times.
Thanks to its compact design, the tracker can be installed discreetly. Even in the event of a theft, it remains active and continuously transmits location data. This increases the chances of quickly finding your trailer – even without witnesses.
In an emergency, you can pass the location data directly to the police. A simple yet effective addition to your theft protection!

Further safety precautions for your cargo trailer

In addition to a lock and GPS tracker, you can further increase the security of your cargo trailer with simple measures:
Secure parking: Ideally, in a locked garage or a secured area. If that's not possible, choose well-lit, busy locations.
Individual marking: A name, serial number, or company logo makes the trailer unique and helps with recognition.
Surveillance cameras: A camera at the parking location can act as an additional deterrent and provide evidence in an emergency.
Combining several security measures makes it particularly difficult for thieves!

Conclusion on theft protection for trailers

Good anti-theft protection is crucial to reliably protect your trailer and its cargo.
By combining various measures—such as a drawbar lock, coupling lock, wheel clamp, or tracking system—the risk of theft can be significantly reduced.
Additional security precautions such as a secure parking location, individual marking, an alarm system, or video surveillance further hamper thieves' work.
For optimal protection, we recommend a well-thought-out security package that sensibly balances costs and benefits—so that your trailer is secured efficiently and cost-effectively.
