Hong Kong Cargo handler Hactl has deployed two electric vehicles to enable security staff to increase the frequency of patrols, and respond to any incidents more quickly.

Security for the massive Hactl SuperTerminal 1 facility – the largest single cargo terminal in the world – is a major task involving some 260 staff deployed in various duties, including perimeter and premises patrols and guarding, and cargo scanning.

The environmentally-friendly electric vehicles are limited to 15 kph for safety reasons, but still significantly reduce travel times around the giant 174,600 sqm Hactl site, which has a perimeter of 1,850 m. The vehicles are now used around the clock, and have proven a big hit with Hactl’s contract security staff.
