Detention fees, lack of data, poor dock utilization and manual data entry are serious problems that are affecting facilities.
These issues often make it difficult to plan dock activities, hamper site performance, and result in inaccurate data and high costs.
KIRK® Type CIS Coupler Interlock System is an electromechanical interlock that is suitable for controlling access to tubular bulk material transfer systems, such as those used for silo storage. The Type CIS is designed for 2”-6” tubing systems. The electronic unit is available with a standard gate that blocks access to the tubing coupler. An electronic control system signal will unlock the CIS unit, and notify the operator to lift the gate, granting access to remove the tube coupling cover for material transfer. A sensor notifies the control system if a cover or mating coupler is in place, and the CIS unit provides status of the gate position. The gate is lowered when the transfer is complete, and the CIS will reset to a locked state.

The Salvo Gladhand storage enclosure is designed to store a single Salvo Gladhand when not in use. The enclosure is weather resistant, protecting the Salvo Gladhand even in a harsh environment.
The Salvo Sign Kit includes one exterior sign for outside the dock door and one interior sign for inside the warehouse. The exterior sign refers to the traffic light and reads “Move on Green Only” and the interior sign refers to the interior beacon and reads “Enter on Green Only”.
The Salvo Traffic Light (STL) is used where larger red and green lights are required to communicate with drivers not to pull away until the green light is on. The lights are ideally located in a highly visible area along with the Salvo Traffic Light Sign.
The Salvo Club helps ensure loading dock safety. The Salvo Club brings added safety to loading dock procedures by locking a vehicle’s steering wheel. The Salvo Club can be attached to vehicle steering wheels of varying sizes and will remain locked in place once the key is removed. When loading/unloading procedures are complete, the key may be replaced, and the Salvo Club can be removed allowing the vehicle driver to depart from the loading bay.
In the event that a key comes missing, the Master Key is easily identifiable by its distinctive red coating. It should be safely kept in the shipping office for use in emergencies.
The SML-EI manual door loading dock safety system incorporates a manual door lock (SMDL) with contacts, mounted inside the dock door, and an optional traffic light (STL) to ensure immediate communication to loaders when it is safe to load/unload. The SGL is used to lock out the trailer’s air brakes, releasing a key. This key is then taken inside the dock door and inserted into the SMDL. This will send a signal to the traffic light indicating that loading/unloading can begin. The key is trapped in the SMDL until the dock door is closed, and the SMDL is engaged, releasing the key. The key can then be into the SGL, allowing the air brakes to be reconnected and the truck to drive away safely.

The SML manual door loading dock safety system incorporates a manual door lock (SMDL) mounted inside next to the dock door or on the dock door rail. The Salvo Gladhand (SGL) is used to lock out the trailer’s air brakes, releasing a key. The key is then taken inside and inserted into the SMDL, allowing the short bolt to be removed and the doors to be opened. The key is trapped in the SMDL until the dock door is closed, allowing the short bolt to be reinserted into the SMDL, thus releasing the key. The key can then be taken back to the truck, inserted into the SGL, allowing the air brakes to be reconnected and the truck to drive away safely.

The power door system uses the Salvo Control Panel (SCP) to prevent the up/down controls of the power door from operating until the Salvo Gladhand (SGL) has been applied to the trailers air brakes. Once the SGL has been engaged, the key is released and can be inserted into the SCP. This ensures that the truck cannot drive away until the unloading/loading process is completed and the dock door is closed. The key can then be released from the SCP and inserted back into the SGL, disengaging the SGL and allowing the air brakes to be reconnected and the truck to drive away safely.
