cash in transit boxes|TSA Approved Travel Locks & Secure Storage Solutions

Cash in transit (CIT) boxes are specialized, high-security containers designed to safely transport cash, coins, checks, and other valuables between locations—such as banks and retail stores, or between different branches of a business. These boxes must withstand the unique risks of transportation (e.g., theft, impact from accidents, tampering) while ensuring that only authorized personnel can access the contents. Shanghai Kuntu Industrial Co., Ltd., a BSCI-certified manufacturer with over 20 years of experience in producing safes and security products, engineers cash in transit boxes that combine military-grade durability, advanced anti-tampering features, and secure locking mechanisms—meeting the strict standards of security companies, banks, and large retailers worldwide. Kuntu’s cash in transit boxes are built with extreme durability in mind. The bodies are constructed from high-strength steel (typically 4-6mm thick) or reinforced aluminum alloy—materials chosen for their ability to resist impact (from vehicle accidents or drops), cutting (from tools like bolt cutters), and prying (from crowbars). The boxes feature a seamless design, with no external hinges or screws (which can be exploited by thieves) and reinforced corners to absorb shock. Anti-tampering features are integrated into every design: - Tamper-evident seals: Each box is equipped with a unique, one-time-use seal (e.g., plastic or metal) that breaks if the box is opened unauthorizedly—providing clear visual evidence of tampering. - Hidden locking mechanisms: Locks are recessed into the box body, preventing them from being damaged or manipulated. Kuntu offers various lock types, including key locks (with restricted, non-duplicable keys), combination locks (with programmable codes), and electronic locks (with RFID or biometric access, allowing only authorized personnel with a card or fingerprint to open the box). - Impact sensors: High-end models include electronic sensors that trigger an alarm or send a notification to security teams if the box is dropped or subjected to excessive force. Additionally, Kuntu’s CIT boxes are designed for practical transportation: they are stackable (with interlocking tops and bottoms to prevent slipping), lightweight (relative to their strength), and compatible with standard CIT vehicles (e.g., fitted with mounting brackets to secure the boxes during transit). Some models also include dividers or compartments inside to organize contents (e.g., separating cash from checks) and labels or barcode scanners for tracking (to monitor the box’s location during transit). Cash in transit boxes are critical for businesses and organizations that move valuables regularly. For example, a national security company contracted by multiple retail chains uses Kuntu’s CIT boxes to transport daily cash deposits from stores to banks: each store places cash into a Kuntu box, seals it with a tamper-evident seal, and hands it to the security team. The security team transports the boxes in armored vehicles, and the bank verifies the seal is intact before opening the box—ensuring no cash is lost or stolen during transit. A large bank with multiple branches uses Kuntu’s CIT boxes with electronic RFID locks to transport cash between branches: each box is programmed to only open when scanned by an authorized RFID card (held by branch managers), and the lock records every access attempt—providing a detailed audit trail. A casino, which handles large amounts of cash daily, uses Kuntu’s heavy-duty CIT boxes with impact sensors to transport cash from gaming floors to the vault: if the box is dropped or tampered with, the sensor triggers an alarm, alerting security immediately. Kuntu’s commitment to quality ensures that every cash in transit box meets global security standards. All boxes undergo rigorous testing, including: - Impact testing: Boxes are dropped from heights of up to 2 meters and subjected to simulated vehicle collisions to verify structural integrity. - Anti-theft testing: Certified security experts attempt to break into the box using industry-standard tools (bolt cutters, drills, crowbars) to confirm resistance. - Tamper-evident seal testing: Seals are tested to ensure they break easily when tampered with and cannot be reattached without detection. - Lock reliability testing: Locks are used thousands of times to confirm consistent performance and resistance to manipulation. Kuntu’s foreign trade team provides personalized solutions for clients, such as customizing the box size (to fit specific cash amounts or transportation vehicles), adding branding (e.g., company logos on the box exterior), or integrating advanced tracking technologies (e.g., GPS modules to monitor location in real time). The team also assists with compliance, providing documentation to meet regional security certifications (e.g., ISO 11731 for CIT containers, ASTM D4169 for transportation durability).
