Case Study: Secure medication transport van

Our client, operating one of the UK’s largest cannabis farms, required a highly secure and specialised vehicle to transport cannabis to a processing plant. The cargo’s high value and the sensitive nature of cannabis posed unique challenges, including:

• •
  Preventing theft and unauthorised access during transport.
• •
  Managing the risk of cannabis “sweating” at mid to high temperatures, which can cause liquid leakage damaging the van’s interior and leaving persistent odours.
• •
  Ensuring operational security and safety for drivers and cargo.

• •
  Load area lined with 9mm plywood on the floor, 5mm plywood on walls and door inserts.
• •
  Internal stainless-steel cage (2530mm L x 1330mm W x 1730mm H) fixed securely with tamper-proof fixings.
• •
  Cage features stainless steel mesh infill, full roof, and rear door (1470mm height x 770mm width) with Surelock multipoint locking.
• •
  Powered roof vent linked to vehicle ignition to pull air from inside the load space.
• •
  Load area coated with grey Speedliner up to 700mm on side walls, full floor and bulkhead coverage; floor includes grit additive for improved grip.
• •
  Factory-installed Safe-T-Bar with sensors extended to the step.
• •
  Passenger cab door handle disabled externally; driver’s cab fitted with internally mounted heavy-duty secondary lock.
• •
  Anti-bandit film applied to cab door windows; side windows removed.
• •
  Deadlocks fitted to load area doors, keyed alike.

  Automatic door locking system engages locks upon door closure.
• •
  Onboard DVR system with forward, rear, nearside, and offside cameras; 2TB SSD for live monitoring and playback.

  All-season tires for versatile operation.
