How vehicle anti-theft devices work and where they are used

Our car anti-theft devices are used in various areas of application. Firstly, to prevent car theft and, secondly, to secure or immobilise vehicles. Mechanical, lockable immobilisers from ProLux are made of tempered steel, which makes them robust and secure. These immobilisers are also known as wheel clamps or parking clamps. The name ‘wheel clamp’ basically explains how the car anti-theft device works. The device is mounted onto one wheel of the vehicle and locked with an integrated cylinder lock. This process is quick and easy. One wheel is now mechanically locked and cannot turn, so even if it is possible to start the engine, the car cannot be driven away.

Our wheel clamps are ideal for securing or immobilising cars. Parking violators can be immobilised on the spot. These vehicle anti-theft devices can also be used to prevent unauthorised removal of impounded towed vehicles that were found in places where parking is strictly forbidden or in private or official car parks. This forces the vehicle’s owner to follow the proper procedure to get their vehicle back.

In the case of stolen vehicles, car experts criticise the fact that the factory-installed vehicle anti-theft device on cars is inadequate and the vehicle is therefore not safe. The police unfortunately have to deal with vehicle theft every day, because the car theft protection installed by the manufacturer only offers limited protection. Professional thieves keep managing to get around vehicle anti-theft devices. Additional security and therefore better theft protection is recommended, especially in areas that are known for car theft or if the vehicle is going to be left unattended for a long time. Our wheel clamps are the perfect anti-theft device for your car.

Who uses anti-theft devices for cars?

The different applications illustrated here give an indication of the many uses of mechanical automotive anti-theft devices. Authorities use them to secure vehicles they have impounded. Recovery services use them to secure illegally parked cars that they have towed away. Private car park operators and companies can use them to clamp annoying, illegally parked vehicles.

Our mechanical automotive anti-theft devices also prevent potential vehicle theft. Thieves are especially interested in luxury cars: SUVs, convertibles, tuned cars – anything fast and expensive. They also target rare vehicles, like classic cars or old campervans. Expensive trailers are often stolen because they are difficult to secure, so our mechanical wheel clamp can also be useful here. It can basically block everything that enables wheels to move. This makes it a perfect anti-theft device for cars, as well as any other vehicles.

Vehicle anti-theft device

(11)

Vehicle anti-theft devices are used in many fields of applications. Firstly, to protect expensive or rare vehicles that are especially attractive to thieves. Unfortunately, the normal protection available in the vehicle, such as the immobiliser, does not always offer enough protection against theft. Anti-theft devices for cars, like our wheel clamps, protect your valuable car from theft. Secondly, authorities also use professional vehicle anti-theft devices to secure seized or illegally parked vehicles. Recovery services also use our wheel clamps, for example, to secure impounded vehicles.
