Bolt, Leer partner to streamline fleet and commercial operations

Bolt, Leer partner to streamline fleet and commercial operations

According to the two companies, the union of Leer’s Deluxe Commercial truck caps (DCC) with Bolt’s rugged “one-key lock technology” are an ideal fit. Leer DCCs, which are custom built based on each customer’s specific business requirements, offer a wide range of options that includes various door styles, tool boxes, shelves, dividers, roof racks and lighting. All Leer’s tough commercial caps are built to provide strength and security at the jobsite. Now, with the addition of Bolt cylinders as standard equipment in Leer’s heavy-duty aluminum DCCs, fleet managers and commercial users can take advantage of not only added security but also Bolt locks’ ability to streamline daily operations. With Strattec Security Corp.’s Bolt locks technology, a single ignition key can be programmed to open any number of Bolt locks.

“We partnered with Bolt because our commercial users have a real need for security and dependability combined with flawless operation,” said John Stethem, Leer’s national sales manager. “Bolt has a solid reputation for bringing quality and convenience to fleet and commercial operations, making it the right choice for Leer DCCs.”

With Bolt locks, the first time the vehicle’s ignition key is rotated, the cylinder is uniquely coded to only that key. When the key is removed, the cylinder moves into the locked position. From then on, only the driver’s ignition key is needed to unlock not only the vehicle, but truck cap doors, toolboxes, trailer hitch locks and any other equipment professionals use on a daily basis.

In addition to security issues, fleet managers also face challenges with drivers losing or breaking keys, which ultimately results in unnecessary downtime and lost man hours. Bolt enables drivers to carry fewer keys, which is especially convenient for customers managing large fleets, said the company.
