Preventing drive-away
June 1st 2008 Diesel engine manufacturer,
Cummins, has now adopted
Castell's Salvo driveaway
prevention system at its
Darlington site, following a
recommendation from the
company's Daventry facility.
After reversing a trailer to
the relevant bay, drivers
collect a Salvo Susie lock
from the storage cabinet in
the office. As the lock is
fitted to the emergency air
line coupling, effectively
immobilising the trailer, it
releases a coded key.
Drivers insert the key into
the control box next to the
bay and turn it, changing
traffic lights from green to
red and allowing the dock
leveller to be positioned.
The key remains trapped
until the dock leveller is
returned to its starting
position.
When loading/unloading
has finished, the leveller is
returned, the key released
and the Salvo Susie lock
removed. More articles from Castell Safety International Ltd: |
