Avansa Drive Thru Transfer Drawer (used with Pay Windows)

⚙️ Technical Specs:

The Avansa Drive Thru Transfer Drawer is built for durability and high performance in demanding environments. It features a robust steel construction, ensuring long-lasting operation and enhanced security. The drawer mechanism is designed for smooth, jam-free operation, facilitating swift transfers of cash, documents, and small items. Its dimensions are optimised to fit standard drive-through window installations, providing a seamless integration into existing infrastructure.

For enhanced security, the drawer is designed to be highly resistant to forced entry attempts. The precise weight and specific dimensions will vary based on the exact model and ballistic rating chosen, but all models prioritise user-friendly operation and maximum security.

🗣️ Customer Testimonial:

The drawer is incredibly smooth, and we no longer have issues with jamming, even with high volumes of transactions. It's truly boosted our efficiency and our peace of mind." - 24h Takeaway Manager, Durban

🎯 Ideal Applications:

The Avansa Drive Through Transfer Drawer is an essential security solution for businesses that conduct transactions through a secure barrier. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Petrol Stations and Convenience Stores: Facilitating secure cash and card transactions without compromising staff safety from forecourt threats.
• Banks and Financial Institutions: Enhancing security at drive-through teller points, protecting tellers during cash deposits and withdrawals.
• Pharmacies: Enabling contactless and secure prescription pick-ups and payments, especially vital in areas with high foot traffic or security concerns.
• Cash Offices and Pay Points: Providing a secure method for transferring payments or documents where direct contact needs to be minimised.
• Food & Beverage Drive-Throughs: For high-value transactions or in high-risk areas where extra security is paramount.
• Government and Municipal Service Centres: Handling secure document and payment exchanges with the public.

💡 How It Works:

The Avansa Drive Through Transfer Drawer operates on a simple yet highly secure mechanism. The external drawer is extended by the customer or external party, who places the items (cash, documents, cards) inside. Once the items are securely placed, the external drawer is retracted, and the internal drawer becomes accessible to the staff member inside the protected area. This design ensures that there is never an open path between the external environment and the internal secure space, maintaining a continuous security barrier during the transaction. The smooth gliding mechanism ensures efficient operation, even with frequent use. 💰 Value Benefits:

• Enhanced Staff Safety: Provides a critical physical barrier against armed robbery and violent attacks, protecting your employees and reducing trauma.
• Reduced Risk of Loss: Minimises exposure during cash and valuable transfers, lowering the potential for theft and improving overall security.
• Improved Transaction Efficiency: Designed for smooth, jam-free operation, allowing for faster processing of customer transactions and reducing queues.
• SABS Compliance & Insurance Benefits: Meeting relevant SABS standards can potentially lead to reduced insurance premiums and ensure full policy coverage for cash-in-transit and theft-related incidents.
• Long-Term Durability & Low Maintenance: Constructed from robust materials, ensuring reliable performance even in high-volume environments and reducing the need for frequent repairs.
• Professional & Trustworthy Image: A visible commitment to security reassures both staff and customers, enhancing your business's reputation.
