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.
