Automatic Trailer
Brake Immobiliser

The July 02 Government crime figures seem to have missed the near 40% increase in reported trailer theft in the UK.*

The three year cumulative figure stood at 12, 359 trailers reported stolen and unrecovered last year, and is up 4, 763 to 17, 122 this summer. the cost to industry is conservatively put at "over 130 million" with some observers suggesting the real figure may be double that.

The Pownall Trailer Brake Immobiliser improves trailer security by automatically locking the trailer brakes when the trailer is disconnected.

The system is disarmed by a coded key touched onto a rugged, weatherproof pad normally mounted near the trailer park brake valve, or by a tractor ID module.

Once disarmed, the system is held off by brake system air pressure until the trailer air supply is  disconnected. The system utilises technology developed and proven by Pownall over many years, the coded touch keys are durable and do not require batteries.

The System can be interfaced with tracking systems..**
