Armour to protect to the max
Engineers work with luxury vehicles, civilian vehicles, security vehicles and more.
Local security companies and businessmen were given some insight into Armormax at Halfway Toyota in Shelly Beach last Friday afternoon.
Armormax offers high-end, quality, bulletproof protection for all types of vehicles designed to protect families, business professionals and high-profile individuals.
“The biggest threat in South Africa currently is kidnapping as criminals target high profile people. So far, Armormax has saved 44 lives from various incidents of crime,” said Michael Broom, sales manager from Armormax.
The beauty of this concept is that ‘bulletproof doesn’t have to look bulletproof’, and one can buy and build a discreet armoured vehicle.
Armormax was formed as a partnership with a leading American luxury vehicle armourer almost 20 years ago. It is now wholly South African owned and has used the lessons learned in international best practices to provide the highest quality, bespoke armouring solution in the country.
If your security risk is from day-to-day crime encountered on the roads, like being followed home from the shops and being hijacked and robbed, then level B4 protection is a good choice.
Most violent crimes like hijacking are committed with handguns, as they are easy for the perpetrators to conceal. B4 conversions are exceptionally light, with most average SUVs adding around 180kg of weight.
There are levels of risk that necessitate a higher level of protection. The level B6 conversions are ideally suited for threats from assault rifles commonly found around the world. A B6 build is a complex conversion and takes a minimum of 10 weeks to complete.
