Mercedes Sprinter Ballistically Protected Security Van
Mercedes Sprinter Vehicles, through a collaboration with Mercedes Australia and one of Australia’s largest Mercedes dealer, Tynan Motors, are armoured by ACE Armoured Vehicles and distributed throughout Australia by Tynan Motors (Vehicle can also be supplied by the customer) for use by security companies, drug companies, jewellers and others requiring protection to comply with OH&S or federal regulations.
The Mercedes Sprinter Security vans are available with either of two protection systems meeting Australian banking and security industry preferred AS/NZS2343 level G2 or R1 that are installed in a manor that provides for a covert vehicle, meaning the armoured vehicle is not distinguishable externally from a standard Mercedes Sprinter.
The vehicles are fitted with high quality bullet resistant windscreen with OEM styling and two piece front door glass, rear glass (4 seat Version), a bullet resistant rear wall with a walk thru ballistic door and protection throughout the forward and rear compartment including doors and door opening overlaps, kick panels, inner firewall and roof area. Key areas of the engine compartment are also protected, including entire upper firewall, battery, and the fuel tanks are coated with our proprietary explosion and leak inhibiting polymer/ hybrid protection system.
The fit and finish of ACE Armoured Vehicles’ installations, along with the knowledge that only the best materials are used, will provide your staff with the security required, while having the comfort of a regular vehicle with ample payload. All ACE Armoured Vehicle installations are corner weighted and balanced to maintain maximum handling characteristics and are fully engineered and RTA approved, providing the safety and insurance criteria required. These vehicles are the perfect choice for armed security guards, covert cash in transit (CIT) as well as drug, jewellery and valuable item transport.
