Trailer Security? Any recommendations?

[PeteB]

A situation has arisen where I'll be leaving my trailers and GreenMech demo units hopefully in a compound at the top of the village. While it is gated and has cameras, I'd still want to cover my ass with a hitch cover and wheel clamp/security. Any recommendations going forwards?

Lincmaster make some good gear - I adapted one of their hitch locks after an attempt was made to cut it off. Just don’t walk into it in the dark….

Don't bother locking the trailer, just leave a few of them lying around the yard in the dark

Temporary or permanent? Wheel clamps seem to get cut off easily, I've got one on but also a 19mm chain down to ground anchor that's under the trailer so harder to interfere with.

Lorry park. Not bothered if it is permanent until I retire tbh. Just need to stop parking over the road from neighbours as they got the hump!

Second the Lincmaster recommendation, nice to have replaceable locking barrels  and key'd a like, I found hitch locks and wheel clamps from them less hassle to fit compared to bulldog. As per Dan  I used 19mm Almax chain round the axle and through a V pipe in reinforced concrete if you don't mind scrabbling about a bit.

i've always used the Stronghold ones, providing you have a knott hitch

never had any issues

I'll have a look at those, I'd like something better for my trailer too. I have a bulldog heavy wheel clamp for my defender, and it is a bastard to put on and off to be honest. 6mm steel so reckon it has to take a bit of cutting.

Some good 'go to' security tips. I'll use a ball hitch cover and some kind of wheel clamp if the storage thing comes off.

I use the Nemesis fullstop wheel clamp, it's arms are too thick to be cut off with a regular angle grinder, solid built but stupid pricey.
