Helps prevent creep
April 1st 2005

To reduce early departures from loading docks as well as trailer creep accidents, Kelloggs has invested in four vehicle locking systems and four safety barriers from Caljan Rite-Hite for its Wrexham site.

The Global Wheel Lok (GWL) is a trailer restraint for vehicles with rear axles to 4000mm from the back of the trailer. These are typically found on continental container vehicles.

The Dok Guardian Safety Barrier is a manually positioned barrier that helps prevent pedestrians and forklift trucks from falling off loading trucks.

Roger Sumner, warehouse engineer at Kelloggs, comments “A feature we particularly like is the automatic positioning of the lockarm that holds the vehicle in place.

“The obvious benefit is that the trailer can only leave the loading dock when the team loading the trailer decides.”
