Locked in freshness for Kelloggs
April 1st 2005

With unauthorised vehicle departure from loading dock one of the most common hazards the warehouse, Kelloggs has invested in four vehicle locking systems and four safety barriers from Caljan Rite-Hite, reduce the number of early departure and trailer creep accidents.

Caljan’s Global Wheel Lok (GWL) is a trailer restraint for vehicles with rear axles up to 4000mm from the back of the trailer – it’s typically found on continental container vehicles. The Dok Guardian Safety Barrier is a manually positioned barrier that helps prevent forklift trucks and pedestrians from falling off loading docks.

Roger Sumner, Warehouse Engineer at Kelloggs, investigated several other systems before deciding on Caljan Rite-Hite as the supplier.

“A feature we particularly like is the automatic positioning of the lockarm that holds the vehicle in place. The obvious benefit is that the trailer can only leave the loading dock when the team loading the trailer decides. We have been so pleased with the results, we have invested in a further four GWLs, plus four Dok Guardians as additional methods improving safety.”
