We protect important vehicles and heavy machinery with reliability beyond 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 the country for the installation of a highly reliable anti-theft device. This device is installed on hydraulic brakes and will not operate unless this key is set. While it does indeed control 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 certified factories that have received technical guidance from our company, and if done according to the manual, there will be no issues. This device is neither an alarm nor a GPS; it simply prevents the car from moving. The greatest advantage of this system is that even if the device 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 vehicles other than automobiles, such as 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 cylinders used in the Mechlock system are made by the well-known French company HF Securite, which is famous for its secure locks. This cylinder key allows for 20 million combinations, making it nearly impossible to duplicate by anyone other than the manufacturer. The product comes with a one-year warranty, and it 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 machinery. In other words, it not only protects against theft but also helps prevent accidents to some extent by ensuring that only certified operators can drive the equipment. For example, NOLO Italia (a rental specialist for Caterpillar) has equipped all of its owned vehicles with this system, and it has received significant recognition from many of our clients, including JCB, Komatsu, Fiat Hitachi, and CGT (Caterpillar Italy). Additionally, the Mechlock system is encouraged as a supplier for dealers and rental vehicles from brands such as Mercedes, Volvo, and Renault.
