Warbutons is the latest industry member to adopt Castells's Salvo. The drive-away prevention system has been installed at the bakers' Burnley and Blackpool sites, safeguarding eight loading bays.

Warbuton's Burnley site produces more than one million products, and witnesses 150 pick-ups or deliveries, per week. The site previously relied on a system of traffic lights and drivers surrendering their keys to office personnel, but these elements have now been supplemented by Salvo.

Having parked and handed over their keys, drivers collect a Salvo Susie lock and remove their emergency break line. Fitting the lock to the exposed coupling releases a uniquely-coded key, which is then taken inside and inserted into a control box next to the door controls. The bay door and dock plate are now powered up, the lights switch to red as the door opens and loading can begin. The key remains trapped until the door is closed.
