BUNKER launches three new van storage units featuring Secured by Design accreditation and Sold Secure Silver ratings to combat trade tool theft.
BUNKER has expanded its van storage lineup with three new security solutions designed to protect valuable trade equipment against theft. The latest additions have achieved official Secured by Design accreditation and a Sold Secure Silver rating, offering tradespeople verified physical protection for their kit both on the road and when parked on site.
Tool theft remains one of the most significant operational challenges facing UK tradespeople, with break-ins causing severe financial disruption through stolen kit and damaged vehicles. BUNKER's new storage units address this by incorporating robust locking mechanisms and heavy-duty construction specifically engineered to deter forced entry attempts.
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 relying on high-value cordless kit, investing in storage with recognised security standards is becoming an essential operational cost rather than an optional extra. When purchasing van storage, buyers should look specifically for accredited certifications like Secured by Design and Sold Secure ratings, as these independent standards often satisfy strict insurance requirements. Installing police-preferred equipment can help secure work kit, reduce vehicle downtime from break-ins, and potentially assist when negotiating tool insurance policy terms with providers.
Before purchasing new van storage, check your tool insurance policy details. Choosing storage with official Secured by Design approval ensures your vehicle setup meets high physical security thresholds, helping safeguard your trade tools against opportunistic site and roadside theft.
