How Does it Work?

The steps involved in the Security Divider process are illustrated below.

The Shipper loads freight into the nose of a deck trailer.
A frame is placed on the trailer floor against the freight. This frame consists of two 2 x 12s and one 1 x 8.
Two pieces of 5 x 8 plywood or chip board are placed in the frame.
Two deck bars are dropped in front of the panels. The empty space can be filled with air bags.
A lock is placed in the drilled hole of one of the deck bars.
Once the freight is delivered, the lock is removed with bolt cutters in the presence of the consignee.
