Driver safety
September 1st 2008

Pork Farms, baker of a wide range of savoury products, protects its employees from the threat of driveaways using a Salvo safety system from Castell.

Having reversed their trailer up to the relevant bay, drivers collect a Salvo Susie lock from the storage cabinet in the office. As the lock is fitted to the exposed emergency air line coupling, effectively immobilising the trailer, it releases a coded key.

Drivers insert the key into the control box next to the bay, turning traffic lights to red and allowing the door to be raised and the dock leveller positioned. The key stays trapped until the door is fully closed.

When loading/unloading is finished, the door is closed, the key released and the Salvo Susie lock removed.
