Catalytic Converter Theft Protection

Although reports suggest that metal theft in the UK is down, the theft of catalytic converters (CATs) has jumped by 50%, with vehicles that have good ground clearance being particularly vulnerable because of the relatively easy access to these valuable components.

First Line is typically associated with supplying high quality direct replacement parts, but the continuing rise in the theft of CATs has led it to respond to the opportunity this situation has provided, and add an anti-theft solution to its product portfolio with the introduction of the CATLOC® range of devices.

CATLOC® products protect the CAT in one of two ways, either by securing to the CAT itself and linking to the vehicle through a bespoke method of attachment, or by shielding its most vulnerable area and denying easy access, thus preventing its removal.

First Line has an exclusive distribution agreement to supply the CATLOC® range of 20 part references to the motor factor sector and has already introduced stock into its distribution centre for immediate availability. Each CATLOC® is engineered to maintain the vehicle’s performance characteristics, takes minutes to fit, comes with a 12-month warranty and includes comprehensive fitting instructions.

Along with its range of 40,000+ part numbers, CATLOC® products can be found on the First Line website www.firstlineltd.com.
