Anti Ram Raid Gate Update
Eruma plc, the AIM traded specialist provider of counter terrorism, intruder prevention products and intelligent lighting, is pleased to provide an update on the progress of the latest Security Blind product; the Anti Ram Raid Gate. The rising volume of ram raid intrusions makes the Anti Ram Raid Gate ideal for warehousing and distribution units that contain high value assets and in addition to reducing thefts, it reduces damage inflicted on the storage unit itself.
Uptake for the gates, which sell for an average of £5,000 per unit, has been high and a number of clients have received positive feedback when negotiating their insurance. Security Blinds has taken an initial order for five sites from one of the UK’s leading plumbing and heating merchants in the UK with over 300 branches nationwide.
Furthermore, City Link, the UK’s premium express delivery company with numerous distribution units of critical value, has completed an initial installation of the product, with the potential for further installations.
City Link Security Compliance General Manager Ken Semple commented, “We are always looking for cost effective and easy to use successful security products. The Anti Ram Raid Gate not only protects against ram-raids but also burglary via shutter doors. It is highly effective and its simple design means that it can be deployed in a safe and easy manner within seconds and by just one person. I would recommend this product to anybody who needs to protect a shutter door.”
Eruma Chairman David Alexander said, “Having only recently been launched, we have been pleased with uptake of the Anti Ram Raid Gate. A number of high profile businesses have already installed the gates and response has been positive. In addition we have a solid pipeline of businesses that have expressed an interest and with this in mind I look forward to providing an update on the progress of the Anti Ram Raid Gate.”
