Tool theft? Not this time!

50% of tradespeople have been a victim of van crime on more than one occasion. This is known to peak during the holiday season.

Have you been a victim of tool theft?

The reality is, we never think it’s going to happen to us. We hear about it happening to our friends, family and colleagues and we always think we’ll be fine…

Until we’re not.

Vincent Beaudemoulin a skilled tradesman from BPCZ, experienced a van break-in first-hand over Christmas, when he had both of his van windows smashed, as a tool theft attempt.

Unfortunately for the offender, Vincent had safe-guarded his valuable tools and equipment by investing in the Armorgard TrekDror. The two 5-lever deadlocks and robust steel drawers mean that the TrekDrors have your back.

Despite the damage to his van, Vincent saved himself thousands of pounds in tools, as well as time and hassle of having to replace them.

A van with it's sliding door on the side of the van open and shows the inside with some tools and also a red Armorgard TrekDror draw pulled open.As a bonus, the TrekDrors help keep Vincent’s tools organised and easy to find for maximum efficiencies on site!

He now has peace of mind that his tools will stay where he left them, secured and ready to go for the next job!

Yes, the Qpod, like all of Armorgard’s battery charging range, has undergone rigorous real-world testing. Our expert R&D team repeatedly tests Qpod with varying batteries, fire speeds and temperatures. Qpod has been shown to contain fires over the recommended 1.5kWh, with developments being made in real time.

The Qpod has been built to UL standards, and has a unique sealed unit system that completely contains fire and explosion. The double-walled ventilation system works to both expel gases and contain flames that can often reignite the toxic gases in the atmosphere. Unlike standard battery charging cabinets which are often only class A fire rated, it is specifically designed to reduce the risks associated with lithium-ion battery charging while remaining portable and easy to deploy.

Absolutely. Its lightweight and portable design allow it to be moved between desks, offices, or storage areas with ease, making it a flexible solution for dynamic workspaces.
