BABACO® TRUK-LOK® with CyberLock

 

The Babaco TRUK-LOK is the perfect solution for all trucks and trailers with either roll-up, swing out doors, barn doors or hinged doors. This lock is permanently installed in minutes; it locks every time the door is closed and the handle is put in the secure position. There is no need to ever utilize a padlock again!

With a CyberLock system, it doesn’t matter where the lock is – electronic access control is possible.
By eliminating the wire between the lock and the managing software, CyberLock can be installed virtually anywhere.
The convenience of a mechanical key system plus the access permission and tracking capability of an electronic access control system come together with CyberLock.

CyberLock for trucking and fleet security

Trucking has a key problem that no card reader solves. Cargo doors, yard gates, terminal buildings and shop cabinets all sit outside the reach of wired access control, and the keys to them circulate through drivers, dock crews, mechanics, contract carriers and everyone who has ever quit without turning one in. TRUK-LOK puts a CyberLock electronic cylinder into a lock built for truck and trailer door hardware, so a fleet runs one key system end to end instead of a coffee can full of padlock keys.

What that changes day to day:

  • Every driver carries their own key. Permissions are set per person and per schedule, so a driver can open the trailers on their route during their shift and nothing else.
  • Freight moves on the record. Each cylinder logs which key opened it and when. Each key logs every door it touched, including the ones that turned it down. When a load comes up short you have a list of who had access, not a guess.
  • A lost key becomes a software problem. Delete it in CyberAudit and it stops working. Nobody sends a locksmith around the yard to rekey trailers.
  • Third-party carriers and contractors get access that expires on its own instead of a key you hope comes back.
  • Nothing gets wired to a moving asset. The cylinder has no battery and no wire; the key supplies the power. That is what makes a trailer sitting in a drop yard four states away practical to control at all.

The same key that opens a trailer door opens the terminal, the fuel cabinet and the yard gate, because TRUK-LOK cylinders are part of the wider CyberLock electronic lock system. Warehouse, distribution and drop-point setups are covered on our logistics and storage page.

The door will remain open for loading and unloading and once the driver closes the door and engages the latch, it will automatically lock and protect your cargo.

Can CyberLock cylinders be installed outdoors?

Yes, the electronics are sealed, for installation indoors and out. CyberLock cylinders are designed to operate in a variety of environments.

Can CyberLock cylinders be picked?

No, CyberLock cylinders have no keyway and cannot be picked like a mechanical lock. CyberLock cylinders resist forced rotation and, if tampered with, are designed to remain in the locked position.

Is lock hardware functionality lost when CyberLock is installed?

No, CyberLock cylinders fit into the lock hardware just the same as the mechanical cylinders they replace. The lock hardware will operate in the same fashion as before the CyberLock cylinder was installed.

What happens when a key touches a lock?

In less than a second, the lock and key synchronize: they exchange unique IDs, compare access codes, validate the list of authorized locks, confirm the current time is within the authorized window, and ensure the key is not on the lock’s list of lost keys. If everything is validated, the lock will open.

How are lost keys managed?

There are two ways to manage lost keys: proactively and reactively. When programmed, keys can be set to expire. These expirations are flexible and can be set according to specific security requirements: hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly expirations are common examples. When a key with a near-term expiration is lost, no action may be required. When a key with a long-term expiration is lost, creating unacceptable risk exposure, vulnerable locks can be reprogrammed to load the lost key ID into the lock memory and prevent that key from working.

How many locks can one key access?

A key can access up to 12,000 locks.

What happens if the key battery dies?

The key permissions, access schedules, and audit trail are maintained even if the battery dies but the clock inside the key may need to be reset. This can be done by updating the key right after recharging or replacing the key battery.

How do Keys communicate with the software?

Keys are updated and programmed via communication devices. When a CyberKey and a communicator make contact, the audit trail is downloaded from the key while simultaneously new schedules, permissions, and system information are uploaded to the key. Communication devices are linked to CyberAudit software over a local area network or securely over the Internet.

Can I still communicate with my keys when the network is down, and power is out?

Yes, several communicators such as the Authorizer System and CyberKey Vault key cabinets include backup power options and built-in memory to store key configurations.

How do I communicate with my locks?

The most common approach is to use a Generation 2 CyberKey which can program, update, and download locks in the field.

What is an audit trail?

An audit trail is a list of activity recorded by locks, keys, and communicators. Typical audit trail records contain information about events that occurred within a lock and/or key. It includes the date and time of the occurrence. Other audit trail data includes information related to communicators, such as when a CyberKey Vault was accessed.

Can I access CyberAudit on a tablet computer?

Yes, all versions of the software are accessible through a standard web browser, even on a smart phone or tablet.
