🎯 Ideal Applications

The Avansa Category 2 ADM Drop Safes are engineered for businesses across Southern Africa that demand uncompromising cash security. They are perfectly suited for:

• Retail Stores: Protecting daily cash takings from till points and deterring opportunistic theft in bustling shopping centres from Johannesburg to Lusaka.
• Petrol Stations: Providing a secure, instant deposit point for high volumes of cash, reducing exposed cash and enhancing staff safety during shifts.
• Banking Institutions & ATMs: Offering a robust solution for securing currency, particularly in branches or ATM kiosks where cash deposits are frequent.
• Restaurants & Hospitality: Safely storing large cash sums collected from sales, mitigating the risk of robbery after hours.
• Logistics & Cash-in-Transit Companies: Utilised as secure temporary holding points before cash is transported, adding an extra layer of protection.
• Offices & Commercial Enterprises: Securing valuable documents, petty cash, and sensitive items against internal and external threats.

💡 How It Works

The Avansa Category 2 ADM Drop Safe operates on a simple, highly secure principle. Cash and valuables are deposited through a specially designed, anti-fishing top drawer. Once placed in the drawer, the contents automatically fall into the main, high-security compartment of the safe below, which remains locked and inaccessible. This design ensures that staff can quickly and securely deposit funds without ever having to access the main safe, significantly reducing the risk of theft and internal pilferage. The robust construction and SABS Category 2 rating provide exceptional resistance against forced entry and attack.
