We protect important vehicles and heavy machinery with reliability that exceeds that of an immobilizer.
The Mecklock system was born in Italy in 1989 in response to the strong demand from drivers and insurance companies frustrated by the frequent car thefts occurring in Italy for a highly reliable anti-theft device. This device is installed on hydraulic brakes and will not allow the vehicle to move unless this key is set. While it does indeed operate the brake circuit, it does not modify the system itself, so it does not fall under the category of modifications that require notification to the Department of Motor Vehicles. Installation is carried out only at DMV-certified factories under our technical guidance, so if done according to the manual, there will be no issues at all. This device is neither an alarm nor GPS; it is simply a system that prevents the car from moving. The greatest advantage of this system is that even if it is discovered, the time required for removal increases, making theft even more difficult. In Italy, there are about 50,000 vehicles equipped with the Mecklock system, and there have been no cases of complete theft.

basic information
The Mechlock system can be installed on all vehicles with hydraulic and air circuits. It is also widely installed on non-automotive vehicles (construction machinery). In Japan, the theft of construction machinery is increasing. Heavy machinery is easier to steal than automobiles. By equipping this system, it can contribute to theft prevention and improved safety management. The cylinder used in the Mechlock system is made by the well-known French company HF Securite, which is famous for its secure locks. This cylinder key can have 20 million different combinations, making it nearly impossible to duplicate by anyone other than the manufacturer. The product comes with a one-year warranty and uses steel to resist drilling from the key insertion point.

Applications/Examples of results
The Mechlock system is evaluated from a different perspective by being installed on excavators, power shovels, forklifts, and other equipment. In other words, it not only protects against theft but also prevents unauthorized operators from driving, which can help prevent accidents to some extent. For example, NOLO Italia (a rental specialist for Caterpillar) has equipped all of its owned vehicles with this system, and it has received high praise from many of our customers, including JCB, Komatsu, Fiat Hitachi, and CGT (Caterpillar Italy). Additionally, the Mechlock system is encouraged by dealers and rental vehicle suppliers such as Mercedes, Volvo, and Renault.
