- mrtrailer.com/... At 2023 NATDA convention I found the best conventional trailer lock from Altor, the Icon, that MrTruck has seen in 22 years of looking for one. It's beefy, designed to stop power tools like drills, Sawzall, grinders etc. from taking away your trailer with all it's tools, saddles, ATV's and supplies. Having a trailer stolen is bad, but think of all the cargo you have to re-buy and the time you loose restocking your trailer. Then filling out insurance forms and police reports and explaining to your spouse that you should have bought an Icon trailer lock. We'll get one soon and do our own tests and long term review. #trailering mrtrailer.com/... www.natda.org/... store.mrtruck.... mrtruck.com/

Thank you for stopping by and showcasing the ICON here on your channel!
It's a great lock, I highly recommend it
I'd like to see one twice as big. 40-50lbs, truly max. This is awesome tho and tops my list for locks
I'll be testing it in a month
now THAT is a chonky beast.
That's the first thing I noticed. I stands out
Wow! Looks sturdy!
Yes
Just like Kent... indestructible..solid stuff man!!
Thanks Ronn
@@MrTruckTV No problem my friend
Great lock. Do they have one for Australian ball hitch trailer couplers?
Not sure, their website link is in the description
Great lock but what stops the thief from simply unbolting the whole hitch from the trailer tongue? A simple drive-by will let them know what size they need and then they can stop by Tractor Supply and pick up a hitch and two wrenches. This would stop an "opportunity" thief but so would any cheaper ball lock.
Many couplers are welded on. Many ways to lock the channel type of coupler. I'll review one of them too.
@@MrTruckTV Maybe but some sort of tamper proof bolts/pins would be a good addition.
Yes, that would be good@@Dusdaddy
Spot weld the nut on the bolt for the bolt on couplers
Good idea@@4wd35
combine this with a motion-detecting camera on your trailer and you have plenty of time to react to a potential thief.
Yes
Great quality lock, but it's too expensive if you have several trailers and it is very heavy. Yes I know it's cheaper than replacing your trailer after it's stolen, I get that, but the price point is terrible. If you just have one trailer to lock up it would be fine, but if you have to spend thousands to lock up several trailers the price is out of reach for most people.
Mike, do you think the best lock available will be the cheapest lock? The cheap locks are the ones according to law enforcement that are on the trailers that get stole the most, right after no locks at all.
The cheapest locks of course are not good at all, but when you price your product way out of reach for most people that's not a good business decision. I was at the NATDA show this year and viewed the same demo from that rep. The lock is crazy heavy and hundreds of dollars. Just not practical. @@MrTruckTV
Many horse trailers, tool trailers, car trailer, RV conventional trailers and toy haulers easily can be over $50,000. Commercial trailers like dump trailers are over $15,000. Plus tools, saddles, ATV's etc. Plus the time you loose. I think the ICON lock is a valuable tool.
Really...?? I'm the only one here? Sorry I'm late Kent
Better late than never
yes
@@MrTruckTV I'll leave comments every time Kent...you got a great show and you've done very well with it
@@MrTruckTV Leaving the bunker in seven months Kent...need a real place now
Thanks@@RonnN-gf8tm
