SafeBox AVAC – Anti-Vandalism Battery Shelter
Secure protection for sensitive railway, telecoms and energy equipment
The SafeBox AVAC is a reinforced anti-vandalism battery shelter developed by ALIAS Groupe for exposed technical environments where equipment protection cannot be left to chance.
Designed to replace existing battery shelters, the SafeBox AVAC protects batteries and associated equipment from vandalism, attempted forced entry and external damage. Its reinforced construction, discreet external design and practical maintenance access make it suitable for railway, urban, isolated and high-risk locations where reliability, security and long-term durability are essential.
Built for exposed and high-risk environments
Battery shelters and trackside technical equipment are often located in areas where access is difficult, exposure is constant and the risk of damage or forced entry is real. The SafeBox AVAC is designed for exactly these conditions.
It provides a strong and secure enclosure for sensitive equipment used in:
- Railway signalling systems
- Telecoms and local sensor installations
- Electrical and automated systems
- Battery shelters and associated equipment
- Urban, isolated or exposed technical sites
- Locations affected by vandalism, theft or external degradation
Reinforced welded steel construction
The SafeBox AVAC is built around a reinforced welded steel structure designed to provide strength, stability and resistance in demanding outdoor environments.
Its construction includes:
- Galvanised steel panels
- 2.5 mm thickness for side and rear panels
- 3 mm thickness for the internal door sheet
- Steel tube frame: 80 x 80 mm, 3 mm thickness
- Hot-dip galvanised welded assembly for strong corrosion resistance
- External surface treatment to C5M quality for aggressive environments
- Double primer and powder-coated paint finish
This construction gives the SafeBox AVAC the strength required for exposed sites while supporting long-term resistance against corrosion and weather-related degradation.
Designed to resist intrusion and sabotage
Security is central to the SafeBox AVAC design. Every visible and accessible part of the enclosure has been considered to reduce the risk of forced entry, tampering or sabotage.
Security features include:
- 4-point locking system with Ø25 mm hardened steel bars
- No visible external assembly points
- Hidden hinges to prevent forced door removal
- No externally accessible fixings
- Customisable internal opening system, subject to client validation
The result is a discreet but highly secure technical shelter that makes forced access significantly more difficult than on a standard enclosure.
Practical maintenance without compromising security
A secure shelter must still allow authorised teams to work efficiently. The SafeBox AVAC has been designed to provide controlled access for maintenance while keeping the structure protected from external attack.
Maintenance features include:
- Full front access
- Battery replacement without removing the structure
- Option to position an inverter on a shelf above the batteries
- Access designed for maintenance and battery replacement operations
- Ergonomic opening arrangement
- Retention tray in line with environmental requirements
- Ventilation openings reproduced on doors where required
- No external accessible screw fixings
This allows maintenance teams to access batteries and equipment safely and efficiently, without weakening the structure or requiring unnecessary dismantling.
Fast site integration with limited civil engineering adaptation
The SafeBox AVAC is designed to replace existing battery shelters while limiting civil engineering adaptations where possible.
According to the product specification, installation can be completed in approximately 2 hours without stopping rail circulation, depending on site and operating constraints.
The unit can be fixed onto concrete slabs. Existing slabs may be reused or enlarged to ensure stability, subject to site conditions and client validation. Where an enlargement is required, a plan can be submitted to the client for approval before works are carried out.
Key benefits
- Stronger protection for exposed technical sites
- Reinforced galvanised welded steel structure
- 2.5 mm and 3 mm steel construction for increased strength
- 80 x 80 mm steel tube frame
- 4-point locking system with Ø25 mm hardened steel bars
- Hidden hinges and no visible external assembly points
- C5M surface treatment for aggressive outdoor environments
- Full front access for maintenance
- Battery replacement without removing the structure
- Retention tray for environmental protection
- Designed to replace existing shelters with limited civil engineering adaptation where possible
- Suitable for railway, telecoms, electrical, automation and energy applications
A secure shelter designed for real operational conditions
The SafeBox AVAC is not only a protective enclosure. It is a practical site solution for organisations that need to protect sensitive equipment, reduce vulnerability to vandalism, maintain safe access for authorised teams and support long-term outdoor performance.
For railway, telecoms, electrical and automation environments where equipment security matters, the SafeBox AVAC provides a robust and practical answer.
