Lincmaster Plant Security

Boom Lok

7 years proven success in defeating the 'Drive-away' theft of Mini Excavators.

The Boom-Lock - The proven Lincmaster 'Thief Stopper' for Mini Excavators. Its Anti-Theft properties are derived from utilising the main boom configuration, powered to its fullest extent - down, where the activated Boom-Lock then prevents retraction of the boom thus preventing drive away theft.

Users claim 100% success in theft prevention with Boom-Lock. On a hard standing the tracks of the machine would be raised off the ground at one end or, if the boom should be locked down when into a trench then, in both cases, simple "drive-away" theft is impossible.

Similarly, if the machine is ready loaded onto a trailer, the locked configuration, reaching the ground, again prevents "tow-away" theft (also saving the trailer).

Even 'Hiab' theft is defeated since a longer than usual lorry body is required as is the time to chock the machine prior to transport. All this takes much of the precious time for thieves - and this extra time is what they do not have wanting to be off and away. Even if this extra time were to be found then it would be obviously visible to all that there was something amiss with the configuration of the machine. So much so that Boom-Lock has over 8 years of proven success in defeating thieves.

Originally designed by an experienced plant engineer (tested and approved by major manufacturers) this fully serviceable unit is robustly constructed from solid steel with a hardened steel locking bolt, and at its heart is an extremely strong and reliable radial locking mechanism with over one million key variations. The strength of manufacture and design is such that it withstands all manners of attack.

Permanent fitting of the Boom-Lock to your machine takes only 20 minutes, including welding in place to make the Boom-Lock a permanent part of the machine, (complete fitting instructions supplied) and thereafter operation is semi automatic. To activate / de-activate the lock takes only seconds and operators therefore have no excuse for leaving the machines unsecured
