Showing restraint enhances truck safety
August 1st 2009

Confectionery manufacturer, Cadbury, has installed Caljan Rite-Hite's Global Wheel-Lok vehicle restraints at its UK distribution centres. The equipment restrains the vehicle by locking the wheels, adapting to suit the particular wheel size. There is minimal risk of early departure or trailer creep.

Many of the 400+ trucks in and out of the DCs each day are driven by foreign drivers, so avoiding untimely departure cannot depend on communication. With the Global Wheel-Lok, the truck is held tight against the dock until the lock has been released.

Another company using Global Wheel-Lok is packaging manufacturer, AMCOR.

Production manager, Tony Nielsen, says of the equipment: "Some of the truck drivers are a little wary the first time they engage Global Wheel-Lok. Because the force of the vehicle itself is used to restrain it, a little more acceleration is required to leave the dock. More than one of our foreign truck drivers has tried to leave whilst the trailer is locked in place. Obviously, as the Global Wheel-Lok can resist a pull-out force of more than 14,500kg, this is not possible. It has certainly given us the opportunity to thoroughly test the installation. I am impressed with the performance, and convinced that installing Global Wheel-Lok vehicle restraints will soon be part of AMCOR's best practice."
