trailer security

I have read over the past about trailer theft, or equipment being stolen out of them. what are some of you doing to stop or slow these thefts down. when I drop my gooseneck I lower the center leg. it has a keyed switch for the hydraulic leg and cant be raised mechanicly. the wires are in the frame and has a lock on the panel. Im going to setup a loud alarm if the door is pryed open. any better ideas? I also use 2 locks per door, the heavy hinges, and very good locks.

 

Mark, If Beau wouldn't piss on the car I would leave him in the trailer. They might still steal it but there would be a blood trail- Dave Germain

 

I was thinking of doing the same with explosives. alittle hard on the tin work. I guess Ill sleep with the 44 in the trailer. at least in montana theres afew places to bury the body.

 

At one time in the middle 90's,at IHRA National events,they made you show your trailer registration before leaving the track...yes,it was a pain but it helps.

 

You mention putting an alarm & good locks on your door. I would suggest a motion detection alarm inside the trailer instead of a door switch. The trailer body is very thin, and I have seen transport trailers entered and cleaned out by cutting a hole in the side with a hatchet, axe, meat cleaver, or similar tool. I am no expert on alarm technology, but believe that a motion sensor under the trailer (aimed down at the road) would activate if the trailer was moved. I suggest talking to an alarm technician. This sensor could activate a siren/horn, or perhaps even the brakes assuming the trailer has an onboard battery.
