Stops driveaway
May 1st 2010

Vitacress, the UK grower, packer and distributors of high quality salads, has chosen Castell's driveaway prevention system Salvo to protect warehouse staff at its Amesbury facility.

Following a couple of incidents in which drivers departed from loading bays with loaders still inside the trailer, management at Amesbury decided that it needed to find a system that would guarantee loader safety. Up to that point, drivers handed over their keys and were asked to obey traffic lights, but neither measure was foolproof.

Salvo was the first system trialled and, after satisfying Vitacress's expectations, it was installed on five loading bays. There have been no recorded driveaways since installation.
