Pre-Used Tank/Sterling CS1/VS Safe – Elite Protection with Vacuum-Ready Technology
The Pre-Used Tank/Sterling CS1/VS Safe represents the pinnacle of Australian-made commercial safe technology, born from the long-standing legacy of Tank Security Australia, a company known for introducing pioneering innovations in the safe industry since 1979. Originally manufactured for demanding environments like retail, banking, and cash-in-transit operations, the CS1/VS model combines formidable physical protection, automated features, and modern integration capabilities.
The Tank/Sterling CS1/VS Safe was specifically engineered to work with cash vacuum transport systems, making it a top-tier choice for businesses seeking automated, secure, and traceable cash handling. With its T.D.R (Torch and Drill Resistant) build, dual locking mechanisms, and integrated smart software, this model meets the highest standards of physical and operational security. Now available as a pre-owned unit, the CS1/VS offers exceptional value without compromising on protection.
Why Choose the Pre-Used Tank/Sterling CS1/VS Safe?
1. Trusted Heritage and Innovation from Tank Security Australia
The CS1/VS safe comes from a lineage of innovation and reliability. Tank Security Australia, based in Melbourne, has set industry standards since 1979 with unique security features such as mechanical time delay locks, dye bomb systems, and glass relockers. These safes were purpose-built for industries where failure is not an option — banks, armored transport companies, and national retailers.
The Sterling CS1/VS Safe continues this tradition with heavy-duty construction and sophisticated access control, making it a reliable choice for businesses that prioritize safety and accountability.
2. T.D.R Construction for Physical Attack Resistance
The CS1/VS features Torch and Drill Resistant (T.D.R) barrier materials in both the door and body, providing exceptional resistance to high-grade tools such as drills, grinders, thermal torches, and cutting saws. This advanced construction is essential for deterring and withstanding physical attacks during burglary attempts.
Additionally, 38mm solid steel boltwork and glass relocking devices further secure the locking mechanism, triggering automatic re-lock if tampering is detected — an industry-leading feature still relevant today.
3. Vacuum System Compatibility for Modern Cash Management
The VS in CS1/VS denotes its compatibility with cash vacuum transport systems, allowing businesses to send cash securely through vacuum tubes directly into the safe’s chamber. This design minimizes staff exposure to cash and enhances speed and safety in handling high volumes. For high-risk environments like retail outlets or casinos, this feature provides an unbeatable blend of security and efficiency.
If the vacuum functionality isn’t required, this safe still provides all the high-security structural advantages, making it suitable even for non-vacuum applications.
4. Advanced Locking Systems for Maximum Control
The CS1/VS model comes equipped with dual locking systems:
-
A Sargent & Greenleaf 3-wheel mechanical dial, offering over 1,000,000 possible combinations.
-
A programmable electronic keypad, supported by software that offers multi-user access, effective time window control, and full audit trail capability.
This hybrid approach allows managers to balance traditional reliability with modern flexibility, controlling who accesses the safe, when, and how — all while tracking activity logs for accountability.
5. Seismic and Dye-Bomb Security Enhancements
Going far beyond standard protection, the Tank/Sterling CS1/VS Safe supports optional enhancements like:
-
Seismic sensors – detecting vibrations from drilling or impact tools
-
Dye bomb systems – designed to deter cash theft by permanently marking stolen currency
-
Time delay compartments – preventing immediate access even under threat
These features make the safe ideal for cash-intensive businesses that need a multi-layered approach to threat deterrence and response.
6. Internal Compartments for Secure Cash Management
The interior of the CS1/VS isn’t just secure — it’s smart. It includes key-lockable internal drawers, time delay compartments, and anti-hold up cash drop slots to segment and secure deposits. This makes it ideal for daily operational use, where multiple shifts may need to drop cash without accessing the main safe body.
7. Anchoring and Tamper-Resistant Design
The safe includes anchoring points for bolting into concrete or steel flooring. Combined with its recessed door, indirect handle, and anti-pry design, the CS1/VS becomes extremely difficult to remove or open without proper credentials.
8. Unbeatable Value in Pre-Owned Form
Purchasing the Pre-Used Tank/Sterling CS1/VS Safe provides access to a premium-grade safe at a fraction of the original cost. Each unit is carefully inspected to ensure it meets modern operational standards and continues to deliver top-level protection.
