SALVO LOADING DOCK SAFETY SYSTEM KITS
Salvo loading dock safety systems prevent drive-aways during loading/unloading by interlocking the trailer's air brakes with the dock door. This ensures that the trailer cannot depart until loading/unloading is completed and the dock door is closed. Salvo keeps your personnel and equipment safe by - eliminating human error.
The Salvo line of loading dock safety products work together to create comprehensive dock safety systems.
Each Salvo kit is designed for specific dock layouts & requirements; from power & manual doors to open sided dock loading platforms and gangway compatibility.

SALVO VERSATILITY: This safety system works with all vehicle types. Salvo can also interlock with existing dock safety products such as dock levelers, restraints, traffic lights, etc.
SALVO RELIABILITY: Salvo utilizes the braking system of the trailer as the restraint. When the air is released from the trailers brake line, the mechanical brakes automatically engage. Applying the Salvo Gladhand keeps the brakes locked until loading/unloading is complete.

STEP 1
Apply the Salvo Gladhand onto the trailer's emergency brake coupling. The galdhand's trapped key can only be released once this condition is met. This will ensure that the brakes are locked and the air pressure cannot be re-applied.
STEP 2
Insert the key released from the Salvo Gladhand into the Salvo Control Panel [pictured to the left] or door lock, depending on the system installed. The dock door can now be opened. During loading/unloading, the key will be trapped in the door lock. The key can only be removed once the dock door is locked closed.
STEP 3
Once loading/unloading is complete, the dock door can be closed, releasing the key from the Salvo door lock. Insert the key back into the Salvo Gladhand to remove the gladhand from the trailer's emergency brakes, and depart safely.
