There are some great security devices on the market to keep thieves away from your caravan, but this is the first heavy-duty trailer hitch lock we’ve heard of in Australia that has its own in-built alarm.
Released by portable lock specialist Kovix Australia, the Alarm Trailer Lock KTR-18 is made of rust- and cut-resistant 304 grade stainless steel and has a Grade 10 (SP) security rating. The lock has been designed so that even if the locking bolt is cut through, it still can’t be removed.
Powered by a lithium battery and featuring weatherproof electronics, the alarm system has a motion sensor that sets off the 120dB alarm; resetting itself after about 10 seconds.
The lock can be fitted to the three main trailer hitch types -- 50mm ball, Treg-style block and off-road DO-35 hitch --- and comes in a neat box with all the required tools and instructions.
