Locked for loading
Castell has added a UK version of Salvo Chock to its Salvo range of drive-away prevention systems. Used in combination with the EU model, the new unit removes the risk of drive-aways occurring during loading operations involving all rigid vehicles or semi-trailers.
Salvo Chock interlocks the chock to the loading bay. If the chock is not correctly fitted, the bay door cannot be opened. The chock also provides a visual deterrent to a driver who is tempted to depart from a loading bay prematurely.
Once the vehicle is positioned at the bay the chock is collected and positioned: the yellow UK version is fitted to the front right wheel, the orange EU model to the front left. Depressing the foot pedal three times clamps the chock halves around the wheel and releases the trapped key.
Salvo Chock is now tightly clamped and cannot be removed unless the coded Castell key is reinserted. The key is transferred to the control panel located at the loading bay, which allows the loader inside the warehouse to open the door.
To remove Salvo Chock, the loader must first close the loading bay door. The driver can then remove the key from the control panel and return to the chock.
Inserting the key and pumping the pedal releases the pressure and allows removal of the chock.
