A convoy is the name given to a number of travelling vehicles when protection provided by an escort is essential. Convoys are a regular operation in many forms of employment and business. They are used by the military, the police, and for the transport of money or valuable assets. If a convoy of military or other vehicles is planned it will require adequate protection during transit. The police sometimes use these trucks in the transportation of dangerous prisoners. A fleet of armoured trucks that will guard and protect the convoy is the perfect solution to many a dilemma. Ballistic protection for your convoy can be provided by armoured trucks, with specialised security inners.
Armoured trucks come in many variations with threat level being an element in the manufacture. Bulletproof glass has now been replaced by technically advanced materials to offer the best possible protection. Projectiles that are anticipated can be guarded against. Their motion and effects can be defended against utilising tried and tested methods. These modes of procedure can identify weaknesses that can be combated. A truck created for this purpose, is fully equipped to cope with an attack and protect the occupants.
Armoured protection can and does save lives. New developments and prototypes are being evaluated constantly for improved safety and security. All trucks are very rigorously tested repeatedly for resistance levels and durability. They are also scrutinised and examined, at every stage of processing for any faults or weaknesses in materials to be detected.
A fleet of trucks will often be custom built to set specifications. The considerations for design are focused on the purpose of the vehicle and the protection level required. The success of armoured cars used in the First World War inspired the development of trucks that could be used for protection.
Advancements in materials and technical design have produced a far superior product. The armoured vehicles made today take full advantage of the latest technology. Modern purpose built trucks are a versatile, protected defence against up to date weapons. The versatility of the truck, has been expanded in many ways to include dual purpose. Some have removable insides to accommodate two unique protected environments.
The engineering and manufacturing process is very advanced and specialised. Industry and safety standards must be adhered to in order to produce and deliver the best protection. The body armouring used in production, is optimised to afford optimum strength and blast protection. Run flat tyres are standard, allowing for the evasion of an attack. This feature compensates letting the vehicle still be able to manoeuvre. The chassis are specially reinforced to accommodate the weight ratio of the vehicle.
Doors and windows have been improved with unique flaps for additional all round full safeguarding. The ballistic glass used in the windows and doors provides ultimate, high visibility with its protection qualities. The average weight of your cargo needs to be established and your individual requirements assessed. There are many options and concepts that can be included to fully cater for the needs of your convoy. An armoured truck is the ideal, long term solution for the reassurance of a safe delivery.
