Ideal Applications 🎯

The Avansa Bulk Cash & Goods Transfer Drawer is designed to secure transactions across various high-risk and cash-intensive business environments throughout Southern Africa. It addresses critical security needs by providing a robust barrier against external threats while enabling efficient transfers.

• Retail Stores & Supermarkets: Securely transfer large cash deposits or valuable goods from tills to secure back-office safes without exposing staff.
• Petrol Stations & Forecourts: Protect attendants during cash transactions, especially at night, by facilitating secure cash drops into safes from within a protected kiosk.

How It Works 💡

The Avansa Bulk Cash & Goods Transfer Drawer provides a secure conduit for materials and cash. The unit features a stationary frame designed for flush mounting into a counter or wall. The core component is a movable stainless steel tray, or 'pay-through', set within a durable 3mm mild steel base. This tray can be pushed outwards to receive items from the customer side and then pulled inwards to allow staff to access them from the secure side. Its multi-position locking mechanism ensures that the drawer is only open on one side at a time, creating an impenetrable barrier against external threats during transfers. The robust construction and smooth operation guarantee secure and efficient handling of various items, enhancing overall operational security.
