Theft of cargo trailers is a very serious problem. Thieves just in the Los Angeles area and the surrounding counties steal about 2 million dollars a day worth of cargo. Thieves are not just targeting large companies and their big rigs. Everyone from contractors, construction businesses to those who transport expensive motorcycles are all potential victims of thieves.
The idea for the Trailer Dog Solar Powered Alarm System Trailer Dog Alarm System was conceived by a former contractor who had been victimized several times over the course of several months. He lost thousands of dollars of equipment and tools each time. When he began his search for high quality alarm systems, to his surprise, he found none.
He hired an electrical engineer and others to design a high quality alarm system. He identified several important features that this system must incorporate. One feature that was necessary was a reliable power source other than a battery alone. The Trailer Dog is the world's first and only solar powered trailer alarm system. Using solar power to keep the battery charged, permitted the use of a smaller battery than would otherwise be required to run the system.
The system uses door sensors, shock sensors and motion detectors. When the alarm is triggered, it sets off sirens both inside and out of the trailer. In addition if your trailer is equipped with trailer brakes, it also engages the trailer brakes. Since most trailers battery powered trailer brakes have a reserve power of 15 minutes, there is an optional backup for the trailer's brake batter as well.
Recently I was told about a customer who had the good fortune of having purchased a Trailer Dog Alarm System. The customer was traveling down from Canada and had stopped in Louisiana overnight at a motel. The thief attempted to steal the truck and trailer. While he apparently had no problem breaking into the truck and getting it started, when he drove off, the Trailer Dog stopped him cold in his tracks. The movement had triggered the alarm, which in turn engaged the trailer brakes.
The thief abandoned the truck and the owner was averted the disaster of being ripped off of both his truck and his trailer.
Installation is simple and the system comes with both a DVD installation movie and a CD that you can download and print the instruction manual. The system also comes with two remote key fobs. When the alarm is triggered the sirens sound and trailer lights flash. You can also get an optional strobe light.
If you own a cargo trailer you are well advised to get this system. If the cargo you carry exceeds the value of a couple thousand of dollars, it is worth the extra security.
