Bays now safer for loaders
February 1st 2007 Frozen food maker Birds Eye uses Castell's Salvo to protect operatives at its Hull factory from unscheduled trailer departure. Salvo provides a physical block on all ten bays, preventing 'drive-aways'. Once drivers have reversed the trailer up to the appropriate loading bay, they collect a Salvo Susie lock from a storage cabinet next to the bay door and fit it to the emergency airline coupling. This action releases the uniquely-coded key from the end of the unit, which drivers then insert into an electrical switch located next to the cabinet. By turning the key drivers power up the bay, change the external traffic lights to red and send the internal lights to green. Loaders now know that it is safe to begin loading or unloading and depress the button on the internal switch to raise the bay door. More articles from Castell Safety International Ltd: |
