 Ram raid attacks on ATMs across the world are being stopped by The Raminator - a tried and tested anti-ramming device now newly available through TestLink.
Raminator can withstand repeated ATM ram raid attacks from cars, 4x4s (SUVs), trucks, diggers and other construction or agricultural vehicles.
It is a specially manufactured mounting plate that is designed to absorb the force of sustained attacks - preventing the bolts that secure the ATM to the ground from shearing.
Independent ATM remanufacturer TestLink has signed a new deal which means ATM deployers can now buy high quality used ATMs fitted with Raminator from day one for added protection against ATM ram raid attacks.
Pre-fit or retrofit Raminator to beat ram raid attacks
Specifying the fitting of Raminator before ATM machines are installed shortens ATM installation times - saving clients time and money as well as protecting their ATMs from ram raid attacks.
ATM network operators can also task TestLink to upgrade their existing estates by retro-fitting Raminator to their networks of cash machines.
Raminator has been voted Best Security Product by ASIAL (the Australia Security Industry Association Ltd).
Now TestLink has signed an agreement with Raminator manufacturer Lockit Systems to make it more available to banks, mutuals and independent ATM deployers across the world.
Ram raid attacks on ATMs are a global problem, prompting growing concern among law enforcement agencies, ATM operators and deployers.
Ram raid protection - what the Police say
In March 2009, Raminator's success was highlighted by police at the ATMIA ATMS in Australia & New Zealand conference in Sydney.
Murray Chapman (Det Acting Supt, Commander Firearms And Registered Industries Squad, New South Wales Police) told delegates that, while the police could not endorse any particular product, there had been no successful ram raids since Raminator had been fitted.
TestLink Chairman Nick Beer said: "We see Raminator as becoming the accepted ATM industry standard for anti-ramming security. It makes sense - it works.
"Raminator is a unique solution against ram raids. It's simple, cost-effective, fits under ATMs discreetly and supports most ATM manufacturers."
He added: "ATM security is becoming increasingly important. There's a global recession and ATM crime is becoming more international."
Mr Beer highlighted the increasing number of ATM ram raid attack in South Africa - "most of them in shopping centres".
He said: "The criminals will drive through shopping centres to get at the ATMs. They are becoming more aggressive."
TestLink is also seeing increasing demand for its other ATM security solutions which also include:
