Preventdrive-awayswith Salvo 1 2
The articulated trailer is reversed into position atthe loading bay. The driver collects the Salvo from the bay and returns to the bulkhead of the trailer. Salvo is fitted to the air brake line coupling onthe trailer bulkhead once the trailer has been reversed into position. The operator removes the red emergency airline, this action applies the air industrial brakes and inhibits the movement of the trailer. The operator collects the Salvo and fits it ontothe now exposed emergency airline coupling. After successful fitment, a Castell coded key is released from the Salvo, locking the unit firmly onto the coupling. The fitting of Salvo prevents the airline being re-applied. From here the uniquely coded Castell key istaken to the corresponding loading bay Salvo exchange unit. Insertion of the key allows the release of a corresponding key inside the warehouse. This key is used to open the lock that controls the bay door. This may take the form of a mechanical or electrical lock, dependent upon the door design. Only when the key has been inserted into the lock can the bay door be opened. Whilst the door is open, the key is trappedand the trailer cannot be moved away.The simplicity of the system is the real benefit,installation is quick and causes minimum disruption to operations. No groundwork outside the bay is required. Each bay is uniquely coded and Castell keeps a register of all codes issued, ensuring site integrity.Salvo is available in two versions, one for UKSusie and the other for European and US Palm brake couplings, making it universal to all articulated lorries. Salvo brings to your organisation Salvo is suitable for interlocking with: Personnel safety at loading bays at an affordable cost One system suitable for all articulated lorries Fast installation causing minimum site disruption Reduced requirement for written procedures for personnel Dock levellers Manual bay doors Electric doors Traffic lights 6
The key is inserted into the Hercules lock on the door which allows the bay door to be opened and the dock leveller to be operated. 7
The key inside the warehouse is released by the operative and taken to the door. Whilst the door is open the key is ‘trapped’ and the trailer cannot be moved.
