VIPER GUARD NEW UNIVERSAL TRAILER LOCK MADE IN BRUM Commercial vehicle safety & security specialist Viper Guard is to have an exclusive universal trailer lock made in Britain.
The lock fits a wide variety of trailer rear doors and is built to withstand substantial attack. Discussions had been held with a European manufacturer but with the weakening pound, margins on imported products have fallen to almost nothing - threatening to wipe out any potential profits and Viper Guard General Manager Debbie Jones decided that British is best.
So Viper Guard has commissioned leading coupling manufacturer Illston & Robson of Birmingham to create and manufacture the new universal trailer lock, and Debbie said: "Clearly it's an ill wind that blows nobody any good - the weak pound may be making life hard for importers, but on the other hand it creates an opportunity for British manufacturers.
"A bonus is that Illston & Robson already manufactures Viper Guard's exclusive coupling lock, so operators who use both products can have them keyed alike." |

SECOND TIME AROUND FOR PALLET TRUCK CHOCK A product they couldn't shift first time around has become a surprise hit for commercial vehicle safety & security specialist Viper Guard.
The pallet truck chock is a polyurethane wedge with a v-slot in it that immobilises the truck's rear wheels. The weight of the truck itself holds the chock securely in position on any truck bed, whether wood or metal. The device means no more loose pallet trucks damaging vehicles and freight in transit, and it also means drivers don't have to risk back strain by laying the pallet truck on its side or lifting its wheels into a tyre.
"We tried it a couple of years ago and there wasn't much demand for it," says Viper Guard Sales Manager Nick Blake. "Then just before Christmas we started getting orders for it quite out of the blue and now it's becoming quite a strong seller for us.
"Basically, the pallet truck chock addresses a fairly widespread health and safety problem in a simple but ingenious way. And as fleet managers are becoming ever more concerned with the potential long-term costs of health and safety risks, the modest one-off price of our chock is a very attractive solution.
"The fact that it prevents the damage to truck and cargo that a loose pallet truck can cause makes the chock doubly attractive, and here at Viper Guard we're very pleased with the progress the chock is making." Further information:

NO JANUARY SALE AT VIPER GUARD! Commercial vehicle safety & security specialist Viper Guard is offering a 10% discount to all operators who order its LokGard cab door protector in January - but it's no January sale, says General Manager Debbie Jones.
"In fact it's exactly the opposite," she says. "We're not trying to clear stock - LokGard sales have risen so strongly in the past few months that we're having to encourage customers to pre-order so our manufacturer can keep up with demand.
"I know that a lot of our customers will welcome the fact that the LokGard is British-made by Calne Engineering of Calne in Wiltshire. So every time they order LokGard they're not only protecting their drivers from attack, they're also helping to support a British manufacturing success story, which is a rarity in itself these days!"
Orders placed at the 10% discount in January will be delivered in February. |
