Bonmarché has boosted the safety of
its loading and unloading operations
with the adoption of Castell’s Salvo.

The interlocking drive-away
prevention system has been installed
on all seven loading bays at its
Grange Moor distribution centre.

Third-party drivers report to
security and receive documentation
explaining how the system operates.

They park in a holding area, where a
supervisor checks that they
understand the information. Drivers
are then asked to reverse into a
loading bay, before disengaging their
engine and fitting either a Salvo Susie
or SGL lock to their vehicle’s exposed
emergency airline coupling. This
effectively immobilises the trailer
and releases a key, which the driver
hands to a staff member. Inserting
and turning the key in the control
panel next to the bay door powers up
the bay and enables the door to be
raised. Once the dock leveller is
correctly positioned, the driver is
asked to pull the cab away, park in
the holding area and wait while
unloading takes place.
