Drive-away prevention

Fyffes, an importer and distributor of tropical produce, has installed Castell's Salvo drive-away prevention system at its UK distribution centres - a total of 31 loading bays.

Drivers report to the transport office and are allocated a loading bay.

After reversing their vehicle onto the bay, they return to the office where they leave their ignition key and collect the Salvo Susie for that loading bay. This is installed on the emergency airline coupling, which releases a trapped key that is inserted and turned in the Salvo Control Panel on the outside of the bay. An amber beacon illuminates on the inside to indicate that the loading bay is now safe and ready to use.

The loader opens the door, trapping the key in the SCP outside.

While the door remains raised and the key trapped in the control panel, the trailer cannot be moved.
