Maximum safety level guaranteed!
September 2024 – The new safety equipment for the Schmitz Cargobull S.KO COOL refrigerated box body semi-trailer has been awarded certification in accordance with the 2023 TAPA TSR1 standards, the highest level of the Transported Asset Protection Association Trucking Security Requirements (TAPA TSR). Representatives from Schmitz Cargobull, the TAPA organisation and the independent DQS testing institute came together for the official handover of the certificate at the IAA TRANSPORTATION in Hannover. This confirms that Schmitz Cargobull semi-trailers are now TAPA-ready for the latest 2023 edition of the TSR-1 standards.
“This exclusive level of security is only possible with the connectivity infrastructure included in Schmitz Cargobull’s TrailerConnect® telematics solution,” explains Volker Flatau, Head of the Cool Freight Product Line at Schmitz Cargobull. “We are pleased to be able to offer our customers a refrigerated box body semi-trailer equipped to the highest TAPA safety standards ex works and to contribute to greater supply chain security. And we will remain in close contact with the TAPA organisation over the next few years so that we can help shape future safety requirements. This will allow us to continue offering our customers the highest standards of safety at all times,” assured Carsten Krieger, Product Manager at Schmitz Cargobull.
TAPA standard-compliant safety equipment
In order to meet the high requirements for protecting high-value and sensitive goods during the transport process, an alarm and communication system networked with TrailerConnect® is integrated and triggers an audible alarm if someone attempts to open the trailer without authorisation. Furthermore, the electronic TL4 door locking system ensures that the freight is protected against access by unauthorised third parties. This is only possible with the networked TrailerConnect® telematics solution from Schmitz Cargobull.
Users can define loading and unloading locations in the TrailerConnect® portal where the door locking system automatically unlocks the trailer on arrival or locks it when leaving. Geofence-areas only need to be configured once, simply and conveniently in the TrailerConnect® portal. Furthermore, once the trailer door has been closed, a general automatic lock can be activated at the touch of a button in the TrailerConnect® portal or beSmart app.
The Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) is an organisation made up of manufacturers, logistics service providers, freight forwarders and law enforcement authorities that applies proven methods and procedures to improve the security of valuable assets around the world. Its goal is to reduce losses in the supply chain. The equipment was certified by Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Zertifizierung von Managementsystemen (DQS), an organisation that specialises in certifying management systems.
