Castell that got the cream
September 1st 2009 Arla Foods, supplier of fresh milk and
cream, has installed Castell's Salvo on
16 loading bays at its dairy in Leeds.
The facility handles 100 to 200
vehicle movements a day and is the
third Arla site to entrust driveaway
prevention to the interlocking system.
Darren Fisher, despatch manager
at Leeds, said he had traditionally been
wary of key-driven systems but was
impressed by a demonstration of Salvo.
Shunters at Leeds reverse their
trailer up to the relevant loading bay,
collect a Salvo Susie lock from a
storage box and fit it to the trailer's
emergency air line coupling. With the
trailer now immobilised, the shunter
takes the key released from the end of
the Susie and inserts it into the Salvo
control panel inside the warehouse.
Turning the key switches on internal
beacons and allows the bay door to be
raised. The key remains trapped in
the control panel while the door is
open. Once loading or unloading is
complete, the sequence is reversed. More articles from Castell Safety International Ltd: |
