Seal bolts to secure your goods: the advantage of soft-shank models

Safety is essential for your goods, whether they are containers or other valuable cargo. There is a wide range of devices and accessories designed to prevent and identify possible infringements on goods and warehouses. Seal bolts are among those effective devices for securing your packages, internal sales, and shipments. Today, there is a different and just as effective model: the soft rod bolt or commonly called “flexible bolt”.

What is a seal bolt?

Seal bolts have some similarities to traditional bolts, being made up of a rod and a nut. The difference lies in the fact that the rod does not have a thread, but a spline that will be inserted into its nut until a click is heard.Once the two parts are attached, it becomes impossible to unfasten them, except by breaking the rod using a large bolt and steel cutters.The sealing bolt thus prevents any attempt to open the goods, which will come loose. would easily.

What are its areas of application?

The security bolt, rigid or flexible, can be used in many areas to secure all types of packages and goods. It is very present in the field of land, sea or air transport and makes it possible to effectively seal containers loaded on cargo ships or trucks. It replaces the plastic padlock in almost all situations and is as effective as the latter in preventing and detecting theft and fraud on a package.

The flexible bolt: a high security alternative to rigid rods

The flexible bolt differs from its rigid counterpart in the shaft and its configuration: it consists on one side of a non-preformed cable and, on the other hand, of a locking chamber made of steel and covered with very high quality ABS plastic. Both parties have the same security number to avoid any replacement of one or the other. Fully meeting the quality standards imposed in the field of transport (C-TPAT), this type of bolt is a perfectly adapted alternative that leaves you with peace of mind.
