Safety down under November 1st 2008 Caterpillar Logistics is keeping
loading bay employees safe at its
Tullamarine warehouse in Victoria,
Australia, with Castell's Salvo.
Caterpillar wanted protection from
unscheduled vehicle departure.
"Other Cat Logistics facilities in
Europe and North America had
implemented the Salvo system with
great success,"explains Michael
Forrest, warehouse supervisor.
Salvo attaches to an articulated
trailer's emergency airline coupling
and prevents unscheduled trailer
departures. Removal of the
emergency airline automatically
locks on the trailer's brakes. When
the Salvo Type 1 lock is fitted to the
exposed coupling it releases a
coded key. The key is inserted into
the loading bay control panel and
enables the door to be opened or
the dock leveller positioned. The
key is only released when loading
has been completed More articles from Castell Safety International Ltd: |
