The Sentric Safety Group is proud to announce the launch of the Salvo Steering Wheel Lock (SWL), a new addition to the Salvo Loading Bay Safety System, designed specifically for rigid vehicles that do not have air brakes and intended to complement the full Salvo Safety System Solution for customers with mixed fleets.

The Salvo Steering Wheel Lock is a highly visible physical device designed to support loading bay safety procedures through a simple mechanical interlocking sequence. The solution helps reduce the risk of accidental drive-aways during loading and unloading activities, an important consideration in environments where vehicle movement can pose significant safety risks to personnel and operations.

“As specialists in safety solutions, we are continually looking for ways to help our customers manage risks in safety-critical working environments,” said Brent Dean, Salvo Global Product Manager. “The introduction of the Salvo Steering Wheel Lock, when used as part of the Salvo Loading Bay Safety System Solution, provides an additional layer of protection during loading and unloading operations and extends compatibility to rigid vehicles.”

 

Seamless integration and reliable operation

The Salvo Steering Wheel Lock is designed to integrate with the Salvo Loading Bay Safety System, utilising trapped key interlocking principles to support a controlled sequence of operations. When installed on the steering wheel of a rigid vehicle, the Steering Wheel Lock provides a highly visible indication that loading or unloading activities are taking place and is designed to restrict steering wheel movement while fitted.The operating process is straightforward. Once the Steering Wheel Lock has been fitted,

the key can be removed and inserted into the Salvo Control Panel or Salvo Manual Door Lock, where it remains trapped until loading or unloading activities have been completed. Following completion of the process, the key can be returned to release and remove the Steering Wheel Lock.

Designed for demanding environments

Durable, easy to use, and requiring minimal maintenance, the Salvo Steering Wheel Lock demonstrates Sentric Safety Group’s commitment to supporting workplace safety.

Its robust construction and practical design make it a cost-effective option for organisations seeking to strengthen loading bay safety procedures.

Availability

The Salvo Steering Wheel Lock is available from September 2026 and is currently being rolled out to customers across a wide range of sectors.
