Warburtons uses its loaf
June 1st 2007

Warburtons is the latest big name to adopt Castell's Salvo drive away prevention system at its Burnley and Blackpool sites, safeguarding a total of eight loading bays.

"It's an easy-to-use, foolproof product," comments Andrew Evans, Services and Project Engineer at Burnley, "and its operational flexibility was also attractive." The Burnley site previously relied on a system of traffic lights and drivers surrendering their keys to office personnel, but these elements have now been supplemented by Salvo, to widespread approval.

Having parked their trailer on the relevant bay and handed over their keys, drivers collect a Salvo Susie lock and remove their emergency brake line.

Fitting the lock to the exposed brake line coupling releases a uniquely-coded key, which is then taken inside the building and inserted into a control box located next to the door controls. The bay door and dock plate are now powered up, the traffic lights switch to red as the door opens and loading can begin. The key remains trapped in the control box until the door is fully closed.
