Theft protection for caravans from AL-KO VT

    Combined theft protection: the best for your caravan

    Perfectly coordinated

    There is no such thing as 100 percent protection against caravan theft. However, a well-thought-out anti-theft solution for your caravan is a considerable deterrent. The more time and effort thieves must invest, the likelier they are to abandon their attempt.

    For effective protection, AL-KO VT recommends combining different security measures. Depending on the situation – while travelling, parked or during longer-term storage – the components can be sensibly combined.

    Multi-level theft protection

    AL-KO VT offers the right solution for every risk situation – from short-term parking to long-term periods out of use:

    • Wheel clamps for caravans: Mechanical theft protection by blocking the wheels – highly visible and a strong deterrent.
    • Security locks for caravan coupling heads: Provide reliable protection against unauthorised coupling and uncoupling of the caravan.
    • Safety balls (Safety Ball): Additional protection for an uncoupled caravan, ideal for longer periods out of use.
    • Security locks for steady legs: Effective mechanical immobiliser for winter storage or extended parking.

    Wheel clamps for caravans

    Visible theft protection by mechanical blocking

    Wheel clamps are among the most effective mechanical security measures against caravan theft. They reliably prevent the caravan from being moved by blocking the wheel. At the same time, their high visibility serves as a strong deterrent for potential thieves. AL-KO VT wheel clamps are specially designed for caravans and trailers and can be fitted in just a few steps. They are suitable both for short stops when travelling and for longer-term parking at campsites or storage areas.

    Your advantages:

    • block the wheel and prevent driving away
    • quick installation directly on the rim
    • high visibility as a deterrent
    • includes a sturdy storage case

    Security locks for caravan coupling heads

    Visible theft protection by mechanical blocking

    Security locks on the coupling head make uncoupling the caravan more difficult and are among the most important measures against theft. They protect one of the most sensitive points of the caravan and noticeably increase security.
    AL-KO VT security locks are precisely matched to AL-KO VT coupling heads and stabiliser couplings. They are easy to fit, do not need to be removed when driving, and blend seamlessly into the coupling assembly. Different security levels allow you to select a model to match your individual security needs.

    Your advantages:

    • make uncoupling the caravan more difficult
    • 3 security levels: Compact, Plus, Premium
    • no removal required when driving
    • precisely suited for AL-KO coupling heads & AKS

    Safety balls (Safety Ball)

    Additional protection for an uncoupled caravan

    The Safety Ball occupies the coupling head when the caravan is uncoupled. In combination with a matching security lock, it makes unauthorised attachment to a towing vehicle more difficult.

    The Safety Ball adds an extra layer of protection and is particularly suitable for use at campsites, caravan storage parks or during winter storage. Thanks to its simple handling, the protection can be activated quickly.

    Your advantages:

    • prevents attachment onto the towball
    • complements existing security locks
    • ideal for storage and winter break
    • simple and quick to use

    Security locks for steady legs

    During longer periods out of use – such as winter storage – the risk of theft rises. Security locks for steady legs provide protection here: They prevent the winding up of the support legs and make the caravan immobile.

    As a purely mechanical immobiliser, they work independently of electricity or electronics and offer a reliable addition to other anti-theft solutions. Especially when left unattended, they provide significantly improved security.

    Your advantages:

    • effective immobiliser during periods out of use
    • ideal for winter storage and parking
    • easy to use and install
    • high theft protection without electronics

    Frequently asked questions about theft protection for caravans

    The following questions and answers provide guidance on which security solutions are suitable for different situations, and how to increase the protection of your caravan.

    The highest level of security is provided by a combination of several anti-theft devices. Individual measures such as a wheel clamp or a coupling lock are effective, but they reach their full potential when used together. Mechanical protection at different points of the caravan significantly increases the effort required for thieves and acts as a strong deterrent.

    For short stops, such as at service or parking areas, wheel clamps and coupling security locks are particularly suitable. They are quick to fit, highly visible, and prevent both driving away and unauthorised uncoupling of the caravan.

    For extended periods out of use, additional protection is recommended. In addition to a wheel clamp and a coupling lock, security locks for steady legs provide extra safety. They prevent the winding up of the support legs and make the caravan immobile – ideal for storage areas or over winter.

    The Safety Ball prevents unauthorised coupling of an uncoupled caravan by blocking the coupling head. It is especially suitable as a supplement to coupling security locks and offers additional protection for longer periods out of use.

    Mechanical theft protection devices have the advantage that they work independently of power supply, battery or electronics. They are particularly robust, low maintenance and ready for immediate use. In combination with other measures, they provide very reliable protection.

    Yes, most AL-KO VT theft protection devices can be retrofitted without issue. Compatibility depends on the type of coupling, the axle and the caravan model. Detailed information is available in the respective product descriptions.

    This depends on the insurer. Many insurers require approved protection for theft, or offer a discount for having one fitted. Before purchasing, check with your insurance provider to find out which devices they recognise.
