A recent train robbery on Chicago’s West Side highlights a growing problem—rail cargo thefts are on the rise in the area and in the US. These thefts do not just result in lost goods; they disrupt supply chains and cost huge financial losses to businesses. But, could this incident have been prevented?
With The Cargoyle shipping container lock system, the answer is, most likely, yes.
How The Cargoyle Could Have Prevented the Robbery
The Cargoyle’s advanced lock system offers unbeatable protection for cargo containers. Designed by MIT engineers and EOD veterans, it secures the hinge side of the container, making it nearly impossible for thieves to break in. While traditional locks focus on the doors, The Cargoyle binds the container’s strongest structural parts, which is a game-changer.
The recent robbery shows why businesses need better cargo security. Standard locks are not enough to stop today’s thieves. The Cargoyle, on the other hand, provides a formidable defense against grinders, bolt cutters, and torches, giving your valuable cargo the protection it needs.
What Sets The Cargoyle Apart
The Cargoyle’s not just any lock—it is built for real protection. Here is why it works:

The Cost of Not Protecting Your Cargo
