High-Security Metal Seals in Kenya for Every Cargo Type

When cargo protection needs to withstand serious tampering attempts, businesses across Kenya turn to metal seals rather than standard plastic seals. Plannettech supplies a complete range of metal seals in Kenya — built from hardened steel and galvanized cable — designed to meet international freight security standards for containers, trucks, tankers, and rail wagons.

Types of Metal Seals in Kenya We Supply

• Bolt Seals — A rigid, one-piece hardened steel pin ideal for standard container and truck doors. The most widely used metal seal in freight and cross-border logistics.
• Cable Seals — A flexible galvanized steel cable suited for irregular openings, multi-point doors, valves, and rail wagons.
• Padlock Seals — Reusable-body metal seals with a replaceable tamper-evident insert, often used for repeated-access applications like fuel depots and warehouse gates.

Each type of metal seal in Kenya serves a different security need, so the right choice depends on your cargo type, door configuration, and how often the seal needs to be applied.

Why Metal Seals Instead of Plastic

Metal seals in Kenya offer significantly higher shear and pull strength compared to plastic seals, making them the preferred choice for high-value shipments, customs-bonded cargo, and long-haul freight where tampering risk is higher. While plastic seals are cost-effective for lower-risk, short-distance shipments, metal seals in Kenya are the standard for international freight, fuel transport, and any cargo requiring ISO 17712 high-security certification.

Key benefits across our metal seals range:

• Construction compliant with ISO 17712 high-security freight container seal standards
• Corrosion-resistant coatings suited for Kenya's varied climate conditions
• Unique sequential numbering for tracking and full audit trails
• Tamper-evident, single-use security across all types
• Available in bulk quantities for logistics companies, clearing agents, and fleet operators
