i presume you guy who have boxes in a workshop its all insured etc by the company.

for those with them at home what security measures do you take, just got a 53" for the garage and want to make sure its secure.

due to weight etc i presume only way to knick it is out on its wheels so maby a way of securing the wheels ? only other way is forklift and that a big noisy way so if they gone to all that trouble its gone anyway.

any other ways of securing a roll cab ?

 

I doubt any work places will include employees tools and boxes on their insurenance.

 

fit a burglar alarm to the garage/shed its in, this could also be conected to the house, so is good in a few ways

depending on where and how things are where it is placed you could go to the extent of having on of those little posts sunk into the floor to stop it being rolled away

 

all the places i have worked do, all you have to do is keep all the recipts and if there ever stolen then you get payed out

 

the national firm I work for don't insure them, bloomin joke considering I've got about £15k tied up

 

Same here, i dont know of any that do round here!

 

Why is it a joke? It's YOU that has £15k tied up in YOUR tools, not your company. Why should they foot the bill for something that isn't their property if they get stolen? That's like saying your company should buy you a new car if your's get stolen out of the carpark

Why don't you insure them yourself?

 

ive got mine covered on the house contents insurance. with More Than, covers up to 75k total so long as no one item worth more than 1.5k, covers them away from home (so at work, in the van etc) and it cost me £40 more per year!

 

Id say it would be a joke if my life times worth of tools were not insured at work lol as it stands mine are by my work but if they wernt they would be provideing me with tools as i wouldent have them there!

 

drill through the back, bolt it to a wall.

 

Never had any trouble TBH .. As long as you lock the thing up and its full of richard then its like trying to Nick a safe.

Never Had any Company Insure my tools either .. Althou they should ..

Also Had tools supplied because of such discrepancies regarding Union Agreements.

They can get round Non-Insurance by offering an Anual Tool allowance.

 

To get mine out would have to get my car out the garage and move all the shit in the way but before that move the car on the drive plus get past the house alarm which is on both my garage doors.

if they broke into my work they would even have a fork lift to move it with and a selection of trucks and vans to put it in and if they dident like the look of mine then there is another 11 to chose from lol thats why there insured by work

 

I've been through all this at work recently and the boss got his insurance guy to come round and discuss how much we had spent on our tools etc and he upped the policy to cover all the tools. If the boss didn't want to insure our tools then we can take ours home and have them covered on our home contents policy and he can spend the £30k out on a toolset each for us to use
