Internal fraud in value storage and transfer is a major problem. Due to longer opening hours of shops, different staff members have to use the safe. Internal theft from a safe occurs regularly. In many cases, the perpetrator is authorised to use the safe, possesses the keys and/or codes to the rooms and comes into daily contact with money or goods. Besides the direct financial damage, internal fraud also causes a lot of indirect damage such as unrest on the shop floor when the culprit cannot be identified. Many companies simply do not report it to avoid damage to their image.
Internal fraud in value storage and transfer is a major problem. Due to longer opening hours of shops, different staff members have to use the safe. Internal theft from a safe occurs regularly. In many cases, the perpetrator is authorised to use the safe, possesses the keys and/or codes to the rooms and comes into daily contact with money or goods. Besides the direct financial damage, internal fraud also causes a lot of indirect damage such as unrest on the shop floor when the culprit cannot be identified. Many companies simply do not report it to avoid damage to their image.
To prevent these problems, Van den Hoven has developed three new products that minimise the risk of fraud. Staff no longer come into contact with the value, all actions are recorded and the safe forces staff to work with clear procedures. With these safes, the transfer of value can be streamlined, saving significantly on cash and/or valuables transport. As the value carrier can collect the value without the intervention of a branch employee, this can be done more safely, at lower cost and at any time of the day.
All three safes use RFID registration. The safes are designed for different logistics requirements. The RFID Deposit Safe is only used when collecting or delivering value. The RFID Transito Disposal Safe is used when return money is also required with less value, such as coins and the like. The RFID Transito Safe is used when all incoming and outgoing value needs to be registered.
For the situation where the cash carrier only brings or retrieves value, there is the RFID Deposit Safe. This is a burglary-proof safe with a deposit drawer. Sealbags with RFID chip are deposited through the drawer in the safe where an antenna registers all sealbags. A connected computer stores all relevant data such as date, time and sealbag number. With every deposit, a receipt is printed or a confirmation is sent by e-mail. The safe and tray are available in various sizes and value indications.
If the cash carrier also needs to deposit value such as coins, there is the RFID Transito Deposit Safe. This is a burglary-resistant safe with two doors and a deposit drawer. Both doors are fitted with an electronic code lock that can be used by several people using a code. All openings are recorded with time and date. Using the deposit drawer, the value can be deposited in the safe.
Compartmentalisation makes it impossible for branch employees to access the value. Value brought by the value carrier (e.g. coins) is behind the first door. The second door gives the value transporter access to both compartments. It is recommended that this door opens into a secure area so that the security carrier can pick up and deliver the value undisturbed. The safe is available in various sizes (corner unit or door on both sides) and can be built for any cover indication.
When the security carrier brings and retrieves sealbags, or when several people can access the safe's contents, the RFID Transito Safe is a solution. This is a burglary-resistant safe with two doors and works as a pass-through hatch. The sealbags of value are placed in the safe and are continuously registered by the RFID antenna. After handing over or taking out a seal bag, a receipt can be printed out or a confirmation is sent by e-mail. Due to compartmentalisation, the value cannot be retrieved by the same user.
The Money and Value Storage Association (VGW) recommends that safes, up to a weight of 1,000 kg should be properly anchored so that they provide sufficient resistance to being taken away quickly. In 91% of burglaries where a safe is found, it was taken rather than opened on the spot.
Don't take a risk and anchor your safe properly!
The segment anchor is supplied with your safe as standard. This is the lightest anchor in Van den Hoven's range for a concrete foundation.
| Pull-out value in kg: | 560 |
| Drill diameter in mm: | Ø12 |
| Drilling depth in mm: | 65 |
| Minimum floor thickness in mm: | 90 |
The heavy-duty anchor has a higher pull-out value than the segment anchor, sits tightly in the anchoring hole, and can be dismantled after assembly, making it extremely suitable for safes with floor and wall anchoring.
| Pull-out value in kg: | 900 |
| Drill diameter in mm: | Ø14 |
| Drilling depth in mm: | 85 |
| Minimum floor thickness in mm: | 100 |
The anchor rod with chemical paste has the highest pull-out value and does not cause tension in the floor and/or wall. The glass tubes with anchor rods can be installed without special tools. All you need is a drill and a hammer.
| Pull-out value in kg: | 1600 |
| Drill diameter in mm: | Ø14 |
| Drilling depth in mm: | 110 |
| Minimum floor thickness in mm: | 150 |
When floor and wall anchoring both require chemical anchoring, we recommend using anchor rods with chemical paste in the floor and an anchor rod with chemical sleeve for the back. Assembly of the chemical sleeve requires special tools and can only be carried out by Van den Hoven.
| Pull-out value in kg: | 1500 |
| Drill diameter in mm: | Ø22 |
| Drilling depth in mm: | 100 |
| Minimum floor thickness in mm: | 150 |
In mechanical anchoring by Van den Hoven, heavy-duty anchors are used as standard. Chemical anchoring uses anchor rods with chemical paste with a higher pull-out value than glass impact anchors as standard.
Proper anchoring of the safe is only possible with a proper foundation. Choose a suitable place for your safe on a concrete floor and/or against a concrete wall. For lighter safes, anchoring in the floor and wall is best. Also take into account the dismantling of the safe. Dismantling is always possible except when anchoring to the floor and wall using regular anchors. Dismantling with floor and wall anchoring is only possible if you also choose anchoring with the chemical sleeve. Safes that are only anchored to the floor or wall can always be dismantled.
All VDH safes under 1,000 kg are fitted as standard with at least two anchoring holes in the floor. We recommend chemically anchoring your safe because this gives the highest pull-out value and because these anchors are placed tension-free.
