111 An inexpensive, lightweight anti-theft device that immobilizes the air system on trailers has been developed by two drivers from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.
Around 160mm long and weighing less than a kilogramme, the L-shaped Airlok unit simply fits over the male air connector and uses a computermachined locking arrangement to secure it in place while the trailer is parked. Its locking adaptor contains a unique and infinite machined key coding. This can allow one adaptor to fit the Airlok unit on a fleet of trailers or any number of individual adaptors and Airloks.
The two drivers have applied for a patent on the system and are now looking for a suitable manufacturer to partner them.
