Why Christmas Is Peak Season for Ram-Raid Attacks
Christmas is one of the busiest trading periods of the year — and unfortunately, it’s also the highest-risk period for ram-raid attacks across Australia.
With:
- Extended trading hours
- Increased stock levels
- High-value goods on display
- Reduced overnight staffing
Retailers, shopping centres, service stations, and commercial sites become prime targets for organised ram-raid crime.
These attacks typically take less than 10 seconds, yet can cause hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, extended downtime, insurance complications, and serious safety risks.
The reality is simple:
If a vehicle can reach your shopfront, you are exposed.
Why Alarms and CCTV Aren’t Enough
Many businesses rely on alarms, cameras, and shutters — but these systems are reactive, not preventative.
They:
- Record the crime after impact
- Alert authorities once damage has already occurred
- Do nothing to physically stop a vehicle
Ram-raid attacks are about force and speed.
The only proven way to stop them is with physical vehicle impact protection.

Fixed & Removable Bollards for Controlled Access
Not every site requires full ram-raid bollards — but many still need strong vehicle impact protection.
Supamaxx offers:
- Fixed bollards for permanent protection
- Removable bollards for service and emergency access
- Security tiers ranging from:
- CB – Base Security
- ST – High Security
- HD – Heavy-Duty Security
Our team assesses your site to ensure the correct level of protection is installed — not under-engineered, not over-engineered.
Roller Door Lockdown Plates (Secondary Defence)
Roller door lockdown plates help prevent forced entry after impact, but they are most effective when used in conjunction with bollards.
On their own, roller doors can still be breached by vehicle impact.
Paired with bollards, they become part of a layered defence strategy.
Why Christmas Is the Time to Act — Not Wait
Many businesses only upgrade security after an incident.
At Christmas, that delay can be catastrophic.
Installing ram-raid protection before the holiday period helps:
- Prevent theft and structural damage
- Reduce insurance risk
- Protect staff and customers
- Avoid forced holiday closures
- Maintain uninterrupted trading
The cost of protection is minor compared to the cost of one successful ram-raid attack.
