Castell's drive-away prevention system Salvo is now protecting warehouse staff at what is believed to be Europe's largest single-site PVC compounding operation. Hydro Polymers has installed Salvo on the only loading bay at its Newton Aycliffe site.The bay handles about 30 trailers per day, for UK and European markets. When drivers reverse a trailer up to the loading bay, they are given the Salvo Susie lock by the warehouse operative. Fitting the lock to the trailer's exposed emergency air line coupling immobilises the trailer and releases a coded key which the operative inserts in a control box inside the warehouse. Turning the key powers the bay, enabling the door to be raised and loading/unloading to begin. The key remains trapped until the door is fully closed again
