Press Release
Safety first: The Salvo Truck Dock Interlock System from Castell International prevents unscheduled truck departures from facility docks by interlocking the trailer with the loading dock door. The interlock system requires workers to follow the process in order for the truck to be loaded or unloaded. Available in both manual and automatic models, the system can be interlocked with the dock door, the dock leveler or the trailer restraint. (Castell International, (859) 341-3075, www.salvosafe.com)
Press Release
Dock lock: Protect dock workers with a new safety product developed jointly by Castell and European logistics company Christian Salvesen. The Salvo system consists of a trapped key gladhand lock that is attached to the articulated trailer's emergency airline coupling, and an electro-mechanical lock inside the warehouse that is attached to the loading dock door. The system establishes a procedural link between the trailer and the dock door, forcing the driver to immobilize the trailer prior to the door's being opened. If the trailer is not locked in place, then loading cannot begin. Additionally, the Salvo system provides a deterrent to theft: Once it's attached to the trailer, the brakes are locked and the trailer is inoperable. A traffic light communication package and a variety of options are also available for customers who want to keep their doors open. (Castell Interlocks Inc., www.salvoUSA.com)
