Preventing drive-away
June 1st 2008

Diesel engine manufacturer, Cummins, has now adopted Castell's Salvo driveaway prevention system at its Darlington site, following a recommendation from the company's Daventry facility.

After reversing a trailer to the relevant bay, drivers collect a Salvo Susie lock from the storage cabinet in the office. As the lock is fitted to the emergency air line coupling, effectively immobilising the trailer, it releases a coded key.

Drivers insert the key into the control box next to the bay and turn it, changing traffic lights from green to red and allowing the dock leveller to be positioned.

The key remains trapped until the dock leveller is returned to its starting position.

When loading/unloading has finished, the leveller is returned, the key released and the Salvo Susie lock removed.
