Loading bay safety system

Quick and easy installation is crucial in leased warehouses, due to landlord restrictions and future relocations. Equipment must be able to be easily transferred to other warehouses in the event of a move.

The Salvo SML-EI system requires minimal footprint and installation while providing a high level of loading bay safety. Maintenance-free, it mounts to either the door or post on the inside of the bay, and comes with auxiliary contacts to connect with traffic lights or dock levellers.

Salvo prevents accidental drive-away during loading or unloading by interlocking the trailer’s air brakes with the dock door. The Salvo Susie lock attaches to the truck’s emergency brake line, ensuring brakes are applied. Once the Susie lock is applied, a uniquely-coded key is released. This is used to open the bay door to begin loading/unloading the trailer. Only after work is completed and the door closed is the key needed to unlock the Salvo Susie lock, making it impossible for the driver to depart prematurely.
