HIGH STREET AUCTIONS FOAM PROTECTION SYSTEM STOPS CASH-IN-TRANSIT ROBBERS IN THEIR TRACKS In line with its strategy to deter and deflect crime, G4S Cash Solutions South Africa is installing a new foam protection system in all of its cash-in-transit vehicles that carry bulk and high value consignments. Based on technology from Penman Engineering, a UK-based company, this solution makes it nearly impossible for criminals to steal contents from the hold of the cash-in-transit vehicles. The G4S Denial of Access (DOA) Solution comprises of two units that contain a “mix and dispense pack” of expanding foam. When a trigger event occurs, the foam rapidly expands until it fills the hold of the vehicle and hardens into a hardy material similar in composition to polyurethane fillers. This material cannot be melted with chemicals or fire, meaning that it will take a would-be robber longer to chip through the foam in order to get to the valuables, than it will take the SAPS or armed response backup to arrive at the scene. [Says Hannes Venter, sales director at G4S Cash Solutions South Africa] ‘The introduction of this foam protection system falls in line with our commitment to using the latest technologies to safeguard our customer’s assets as well as the lives of our security officers and members of the public.’ Contact us on: 0860 111 433. 64 BANKER SA Product News.indd 64 High Street Auctions specialises in the marketing and selling of commercial, industrial, retail, agricultural and residential properties on auction.
