Tank safes and Stirling safes are also known as Tanks Security Australia. Tank Security started their safe operations in the Richmond suburb of Melbourne in 1979 manufacturing the very popular ‘Round Tank Trading Safe’ and later relocated the Tank Safe plant over to Dawson Street Brunswick where they continued to have an innovative approach to safe design and manufacturing.
The Tank Safe Company introduced advanced safe security features such as the Tank mechanical time delay lock as well incorporating in the Tank round safe the dye bomb function, which was an additional security measure to the tank safe not previously seen in the safe industry. Tank security safes produced a large selection of safes including as previously mentioned the Tank Time lock and dye-bomb safe also referred to as the Tank security trading safe. This safe was a small retailer’s safe which could be easily mounted under the counter for quick cash deposits. The Tank safes come with locking options for example either a three wheel combination lock as well as safe key, or electronic digital locking supported by a tank safe key or the tank safes where simply supplied with a high security key safe locking system. The majority of tank safes or the sterling safes were fitted with either a glass relocker or mechanical re-locker as standard.
Some other very successful tank safe versions were the Tank TF1 and TB6 safes, and before I give some details about these particular safe models is the only difference between the TF1 and TB6 safes was the dimensions only as both versions were ideally suited as retailers safes as they are tank deposit safes and had a deposit slot in the front of the safe for easy cash deposits without having to open the main safe door. The tank TB6 and TF1 safes had anti-phishing protection so once cash deposits were made, they could not be phished out. Also both these Tank safes had pre-drilled bolt down facilities inside so they could be securely fixed down.
The Tank Safe’s home and office range of safes are known as the Tank HOS1, Tank HOS2, and the Tank HOS3 models. They were a lightweight safe range and the only difference between the three versions was the dimensions. All other security features remained the same on the 3 tank safes. It’s worth noting Tank home office safe model HOS3 version was the perfect size for till drawers and was specifically designed to accommodate a volume of cashier drawers and great option for cash businesses to secure till draws away. The Tank home safe and Tank office safes were available with different locking options including three wheel combination locking or electronic digital locking or high security 6 lever anti pick key lock.
Tank Safes and Sterling Safes commercial heavy duty series such as the Tank TH1 and TH3 safes were high security safes designed to protect large amounts of cash and expensive valuables. They were built using advanced technology and incorporated T.D.R (Torch and Drill Resistant) materials to ensure effectiveness against attack. Tank safes TH1 and TH3 high quality safes included armour glass relocking devices and were available with a variety of locking systems such as 3 wheel mechanical combination locking or electronic digital keypad locking as well as seven lever anti – pick safe key locking. Internal features of the TH1 & TH3 Tank Safes included a lockable draw, time delay locks, lockable cupboard compartment and adjustable shelving.
Tank Safes and Sterling Safes TH2-C is a purpose built safe specifically for the retail industry and encompassed pre-drilled bolt down holes in the base for secure fixing to the floor under the point of sale or (P.O.S) as it’s called. This allowed staff to make safe and secure deposits without the need to access the main safe so this made the Tank TH-2 safe very popular with businesses who dealt with cash on a daily basis. Another advantage of the Tank TH2-C is the cash deposit drop slot compartment ideal for retail chain stores to control cash management.
Tank Safes and Sterling Safes TH2-D safe is a heavy duty safe designed to protect large volumes of cash as well as expensive items. This Tank safe version is constructed using advanced barrier materials such as a T.D.R (Torch and Drill Resistant) compound applied during manufacturing to ensure a high level of protection against various types of professional attack. This Tank Safe TH2-D has a key lockable external deposit drop drawer which drops cash into an internal lockable compartment as well as having an internal key lockable change drawer and a time delay compartment ideal for storing cash throughout the day or overnight.
Tank Safes and Sterling Safes TH3-D version is their flagship safe and known as Tank security’s ultimate security safe for business. It is a high security T.D.R (Torch and Drill Resistant Safe) giving maximum protection, it incorporates two key lockable external drawers, one being a drop deposit chute drawer (to deposit cash into the internal two key lockable compartment). The two key lockable compartment on the Tank TH3-D safe was perfect cash management safe for business as the two key facility allowed for a client key and a guard key to make sure two people accessed the safe and cleared the money, an extra security measure to make individuals accountable for the money clearance. This method was typically done by the manager or the owner of the business and also the C.I.T or cash in transit company.
Tanks safes new generation models known as the TV Tank series being Tank cash safe 1 and Tank cash safe 2. The cash safe one and two models were designed to meet the most modern safe standards this included both the body and door of this tank safe being constructed of T.D.R (Torch and Drill Resisting) materials and it also included either a three wheel combination dial lock or electronic digital safe lock and bolt down facilities in the base as well as automatic glass relockers. The only difference between the Tank Cash Safe models is the sizes.
The Tank cash safe 1 came complete with an internal two key lockable compartment and combination mechanical dial locking, and incorporated an internal time delay lock for added protection. The Tank cash safe 2 came with three internal shelves and a S&G 3 wheel combination dial with a time delay function.
Tank safes Australia also included the Sterling Safe range which included a high security cash safe version. The Tank security sterling safe range was originally designed for Armaguard as a two key safe and was widely used throughout Australia for cash businesses. The Sterling safe is a strong bodied T.D.R Torch and Drill Resistant Safe incorporating a full bodied TDR door which housed glass relockers. These particular sterling cash safes were known as a sterling safe S2, they have a Sargeant and Greenleaf 3 wheel combination lock as well as high quality time delay locks and may include a two key compartment with a drop drawer or deposit chute and also a lockable change drawer.
The Tank vacuum series of safes typically called models CS1/VS and CS2/VS also the TVS were all built to specification as required by the customers security specifications and basically on these types of Tank vacuum safes the deposits were transported through a cash carrier vacuum system into the vacuum sealed chamber within the safe. The Tank vacuum safes were equipped with dual locking consisting of a S&G combination lock which has a 1,000,000 combination variations and is supported by an electronic digital keypad locking which was fully programmable with compatible software. The software also comes with advanced security functions including full audit trail reporting, effective time window opening and closing, fifty plus user features as well as anti hold up feature if required.
Then there’s the Tank safes models CS1 and CS2 safes that were basically similar to the tank vacuum safe but constructed without the vacuum facility feature at the top of the safes. This range of tank safes are at the top high end of security safes. The models are CS1, CS2 and TS versions, and the body and doors of the safe are T.D.R Torch and Drill Resistant. They also have dual docking via a Sargeant and Greenleaf combination dial as well as a U.L rated optional 8 lever key lock.
All these tank safe models had anchoring down facilities and glass relocking devices. They also have heavy duty 38mm diameter steel boltwork and an indirect handle. Furthermore, they featured anti-hold up cash management compartments and additional security needed to include time delay, dye bomb and seismic detectors fitted to the door for early detection of attack by heat, drill, grinders or impact.
