Making a safer bay: Castell's Salov loading bay safety system is a simple and cost effective way to prevent drive aways

摘要

Castell's Salvo loading bay safety system is a simple and cost effective way to prevent drive aways. An innovative product, designed to protect loader drivers during loading and unloading operations, has been launched by safety specialist Castell. Developed in conjunction with a leading logistics company, Salvo reduces the threat of drive-aways at what the company says is a fraction of the price of alternative vehicle-restraint technologies Salvo consists of a mechanical key-holding cylindrical lock, which is attached to the articulated trailer's emergency air line, and an electro-mechanical lock inside the warehouse, fitted to the loading bay door. This system establishes a procedural link between the trailer and the bay door, forcing the driver to immobilise the trailer prior to the door being opened. If the trailer is not locked in place, loading cannot begin.
