Guardian anti theft – A
new generation of big
rig security devices
»»THIS UNIQUELY DESIGNED
lock is extremely discreet and with
the press of a button on a remote
control can disable the vehicle’s
engine and keep it locked down
until Guardian is disarmed by the
driver or operator.
The Guardian Anti-Theft is
extremely driver friendly with the
driver just needing to engaged the
lock when leaving the cab on-site or
on-the-road vehicle by pressing a
button on the paired remote control
device.
Even if the keys are in the ignition
and the engine is running, by
simply arming Guardian Anti-Theft
any attempt to drive the vehicle
away will result in a complete
lock-down of the engine – until the
driver disarms the lock.
For the first time, owners and
drivers can completely relax
when their vehicles are parked
on a site, and when remote, in a
motorway services lorry park or in a
compound.
Whatever type of over 7.5
tonne vehicle is left unattended
overnight or during weekends,
thieves and joyriders will not be
able to hot-wire the ignition, clone
or hack into the electronics within
the Guardian control unit.
Even if they do manage to find
the discreet wires or control box,
there is little chance of them being
able to take the unit out of Armed
Mode without the remote.
And, simply by taking remotes
home at the end of the day or
when they have to leave their
vehicles unattended during
working hours, drivers, operators,
site managers and fleet operations
teams will no longer have to
worry. Their vehicle cannot be
driven away.
The failsafe elements of the
unit mean that the lock-down of
the engine stays secure whatever
would-be thieves try to do.
This small device is so discreetly
sneaky that even an on-board
security system will not be able to
detect it and Guardian does not
interfere with in-built electronic
systems in any way.
Guardian Anti Theft has
been specifically designed to
prevent thefts but also has a
strong defence against hijacking.
Should an on-the-road vehicle be
subject to a driver take-over, all
he or she has to do is discreetly
press the button on the pocket
or lanyard remote control whilst
walking away. This is a nonconfrontational way for freight
drivers to get out of harm’s way
but also ensures the hijackers will
not be able get the vehicle moving.
There are no similar devices
available; Guardian Anti-Theft
has founded a completely new
generation of non-microprocessor
vehicle security devices.
‘any attempt to

As a recent, widely reported
review by Allianz Cornhill
Engineering revealed, it
is estimated that the UK
construction industry alone is
losing over £70 million val ue of
plant stolen from construction
sites – this rises to a staggering
£800 million a year when other
costs are added in when thefts
