Safe loading September 1st 2007 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 More articles from Castell Safety International Ltd: |
