Top-loading drop safes are one of several types of deposit safes. These safes are available in a wide variety of sizes and feature either a safe with a drop slot located at the top of the safe or a safe with a rotary hopper with a rotary drum and crank handle. If the depository safe has a rotary hopper, deposits are made by placing the deposit into the rotary drum at the top of the safe and then rotating the drum by turning the crank handle a full 360 degrees. Like front-loading drop safes, top-loading drop safes almost always come with 4 pre-drilled anchor holes located at the base of the safe for securing the safe to a concrete floor (ideal) or wood floor (less than ideal, but okay if done properly). Top-loading drop safes with a rotary hopper can usually accept a larger package size than front-loading drop safes. These types of safes are also usually more resistant to attempts to fish the contents through the drop mechanism. |
