Roffelsen Anti-Theft tape to protect Tarps, Soft-Sided Trailers, and Curtain-Sided Trailers (2150006 or 160.189)

Product Name

- Roffelsen Anti-Theft tape to protect Tarps, Soft-Sided Trailers, and Curtain-Sided Trailers (2150006 or 160.189)

Brief Description

- The Roffelsen Anti-Theft Tape is a specialized steel cable-reinforced hard plastic tape designed to be fused into the interior of trailer tarpaulins using hot air. This integration creates a virtually impenetrable barrier, making it extremely difficult to cut the exterior of soft-sided and curtain-sided trailers, thereby preventing the theft or vandalism of valuable cargo.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Protecting tarps on semi-trailers.- Enhancing security for soft-sided trailers.- Preventing cargo theft and vandalism in curtain-sided trailers.

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Logistics- Transportation/ Specialty Vehicle- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing (for integration into new or repaired tarpaulins)

Special and Unique Features

- Features a steel cable-reinforced hard plastic construction for superior cut resistance.- Designed for fusion to the interior of trailer cloth using hot air, creating an integrated security layer.- Makes it virtually impossible to cut the exterior side of soft-sided and curtain-sided trailers.- Effectively prevents theft and vandalism of valuable cargo.- Available in transparent, black, or grey colors.- Compatible with Leister T1 welding equipment for application.

Key Properties

- Material: PVC Shore A-80 with a 1.5 mm galvanised steel core.- Dimensions: 25 mm width x 2.7 mm thickness.- Surface: Smooth.- Cut-resistant.- Durable.- Weldable.

Surface Compatibility

- Primarily designed for fusion with PVC-based trailer tarpaulin materials.

Known backups / known substitutes

- **External Trailer Security Devices:** Coupler locks, wheel boots, GPS trackers, steel safety chain locking boxes, and hitch receiver locks provide external layers of security for trailers.- **General Cargo Security Seals:** Metal flat band seals, plastic band seals, bolt seals, and cable seals are used for sealing cargo containers and trailer doors.- **Tamper-Evident Tapes:** VOID tapes or custom-printed security tapes are used to show evidence of tampering on cartons and packages, rather than preventing physical cutting of a tarp.- **Tarp Repair Tapes:** While not anti-theft, heavy-duty waterproof tapes exist for repairing tarps and awnings.

Comparison Note

- The Roffelsen Anti-Theft tape offers a unique, integrated security solution by becoming a part of the tarp material itself, providing a physical cut-resistant barrier. This differs significantly from external locking devices that secure the trailer's movement or access points, and from adhesive-backed tamper-evident tapes that primarily indicate tampering rather than physically preventing cutting. Its application via hot air fusion directly into the tarp distinguishes it from most other security tapes or devices.
