Mention the term "fire safe" and images of a traditional, upright massive steel contraption installed permanently inside an office ordinarily springs to mind. Modern needs, however, have given birth to modern conveniences such a portable fire chest, which can hold everything from valuable documents to important computer media like optical drives and USB sticks. Business people are now mobile, travelling from one workplace or another, meeting clients, visiting worksites, bringing home work from the office, and so on. With all the things that can go wrong when one is traveling, they need a move-anywhere fire safe which can guarantee them protection for their valuables and, in some cases, from theft.
The value of a portable, fire-resistant container cannot be denied during travel. Box-file models are perfect for those who need to be mobile, yet still require a compact fire-resistant container for use in the office or the home able to hold numerous documents or files. To maximise storage capacity, box-file models are designed to hold hanging files. Aside from the typical box-like design there is also a fire safe which has a briefcase-like design, with a carry handle on the side for convenience. These models, in contrast, can hold up to 3.5 inches of A4 to A5 paper laid flat, depending on the model. What's more, briefcase-like types come in various sizes: internal dimensions can vary from 89 x 305 x 191mm (HxWxD) for one with a 5.2Ltr capacity to 284 x 375 x 342mm for one with a 36.4Ltr capacity.
Another important innovation in fire safe design is the USB data fire box. Although, suitable for both home and business use, the benefits of this container has been discovered by those who need to constantly travel carrying with them important digital info, such as those in CDs or DVDs, memory sticks, iPods, small digital cameras, and so on. This fire box features a USB connector which allows one to back-up to a portable hard drive without taking it out of the fire safe. With up to half an hour of fire protection and waterproof, USB data fire boxes are indispensable in today's digital era.
Sensitive, valuable information is not solely restricted to storage in a USB stick or other memory devices. Smaller, lightweight, and more powerful than ever, laptops are now used for client presentations, record-keeping, reports, and the like. Any businessperson who has lost a laptop, or had a desktop computer crash, taking along every bit of valuable data with it, realises the importance of keeping these vital devices protected. When travelling, or even just in the daily trips to and from the office, a laptop box can be your best friend. The 3040DE digital security laptop box by Honeywell, for instance, is perfect protecting a 17" laptop from being stolen from a vehicle. It has a double steel wall and a 1200mm securing cable to keep the laptop safe.
Accidents, by their very definition, are something that no one can predict. Hence, it is a good idea to have valuable business papers and sensitive information contained in media files protected from fires or water-damage using a portable fire safe.
