Drive-away prevention
November 1st 2006

Salvo, the drive-away-prevention system from Castell, has been adopted by Arla Foods at its Hatfield Peverel dairy in Essex.

Since Salvo was installed on 6 of Hatfield's 17 loading bays, not a single health and safety incident on those bays has been reported.

Having reversed their trailer into position, drivers collect a Salvo lock from its housing next to the bay door. The emergency airline is removed and the lock fitted to the airline coupling, causing the trailer's brakes to be applied immobilising the trailer. A uniquely-coded key is released from the end of the lock and inserted into a switch, located to the side of the bay door.

Turning this key and pressing a button on the switch illuminates a green light inside the loading bay, alerting the operative that loading can begin. The operative then presses a button on a similar switch to release a second key, which is inserted into a Castell Hercules door lock. Turning this key allows the side-bolt to be retracted and the door to be raised.
