Preventing drive-away
December 1st 2006 Wincanton has installed Castell's Salvo drive-away prevention system across all 11 loading bays of its West Thurrock site. Drivers arriving at the site report to the operations office where they swap paperwork and gate pass for a Salvo lock. Having reversed their trailer up to the appropriate bay, they fit the Salvo to the emergency airline coupling, releasing a key from the end of the unit. Returning to the office, they hand in the key, which is picked up by a warehouse operative and used to open the relevant bay door. This action changes the traffic light from green to red, informing drivers that loading or unloading is taking place. On completion, the operative closes the door and removes the key, turning the traffic light back to red, letting drivers know their trailer is ready to be collected.
