| Introduction | Safety Sentry was founded in 2009, but owner Karl Pratt invented the product back in the summer of 1994. After a day of boating, he prepared to back up his pickup and trailer for loading but found that his trailer was missing. It was a custom-built trailer, so he couldn’t easily replace it. After having to pay for a docking slip, insurance deductible, and of course, a new trailer, his day at the lake became very expensive. As a result, he decided to design something to prevent this from happening again. Mr. Pratt had owned a manufacturing company for quite some time and had experience in metal, machining and applications. He created a product that would provide security while a truck and trailer was left unattended. It wasn’t until much later, after coming across www.dangeroustrailers.org, that he realized that his product could also be used to prevent trailer detachment while driving (a problem that is widespread, but little known). After several modifications, and a U.S. patent, he had a product that would have a dual purpose, safety while in transport, and security when it was parked. |
