BUNKER adds three new Secured by Design accredited secure storage units to its van storage collection, featuring discreet Apple AirTag holders.
BUNKER has expanded its van storage collection with the launch of three new secure storage units designed to safeguard tools and equipment on site and in transit. The new additions have achieved Secured by Design accreditation alongside a Sold Secure Silver rating, providing verified resistance against forced entry attempts.
To combat the ongoing issue of tool theft across the UK, each unit features heavy-duty construction alongside a integrated, discreet holder specifically designed for an Apple AirTag or similar tracking device. This addition allows tradespeople to monitor the location of their storage units directly via smartphone without revealing the location of the tracker to potential thieves.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
For tradespeople looking to upgrade their vehicle security, these new units offer a dual layer of physical and digital protection. With tool theft remaining a major financial threat to sole traders, investing in independent security ratings like Sold Secure Silver can make a tangible difference. Before purchasing, buyers should check whether adding accredited storage helps lower their tool insurance premiums or reduces policy excesses with specific trade insurers.
While exact retail pricing will depend on the stockist, trade buyers should compare these units against established van vault brands sold at Screwfix and Toolstation. When selecting a model, ensure your van dimensions accommodate the specific box footprint, and factor in the cost of an Apple AirTag (typically around £28 to £35) if you plan to utilize the built-in tracking feature. Buyers should also verify that the discreet holder location remains accessible for occasional battery replacement without unbolting the entire unit from the vehicle floor.
The combination of physical steel barriers and covert tracking reflects a growing trend in equipment security. By incorporating dedicated spaces for consumer tracking tech into certified physical security hardware, the expanded BUNKER range offers a practical, modern defence against opportunistic site theft and van break-ins.
