protective equipment and workwear, has now launched an online guide to safety signs. The dedicated signs section of the Arco website offers a single source of information on standards, advice on different signs and a place to purchase any of the signs required, including the ability to order customised signs. The online guide has been designed to work alongside the Arco Safety Signs Catalogue, offering customers flexibility and ease of use. The website has been categorised to make navigating and choosing easier, for example many of the signs have been labelled as ‘required by law’ or ‘Essential for Warehouse’ to help guide users to the correct selection. The website also includes information on the size and material used in the sign, as well as a ‘handy hints’ checklist to make things even easier.

ifold, Official Partner of the Marussia F1™ Team have linked Safety with Performance to provide the widest range of relief valves for pneumatic &


hydraulic applications. Bifold provide the widest range of relief valves for pneumatic and hydraulic instrument applications with pressures ranging from 7 to 1300 bar. Our relief valves are suitable for safety applications. Many other relief valves of this type on the market, fail to perform the correct safety function required. The Bifold pneumatic relief valves have a very high flow and low dead band. The relief valves are a safety device designed to match Bifold’s


high flow filter regulators. The device will limit the over pressure to less than110% of the set point in the event of a filter regulator mis-operation. Some other relief valves on the market have insufficient flow to be used as a safety device in this application. Bifold precision relief valves have very high sealing forces along with accurate and narrow dead bands allowing system design pressure to be reduced. Precision relief valves should be used in preference to sprung relief valves where there is a risk of vibration induced leakage or where dead bands are important to system performance.

New restraint prevents rigid vehicle drive-aways


astell’s design team has gone back to the drawing board to create a restraint for rigid vehicles that can satisfy the demanding conditions of the loading yard. The result is a chock that is lighter, stronger, significantly easier to use and, importantly, faster to manoeuvre. Salvo™ is a system that restrains vehicles at loading docks while loading or unloading occurs. This is achieved through patented technology that interlocks either an exposed airline coupling, or a wheel chock, and the loading dock door. This means that while the loading door is open there is no way the vehicle can move; only when the loading door is closed can the restraining device be removed. Launched eight years ago to prevent drive-aways in the logistics industry, the Salvo™ range has undergone significant product development in the last 12 months. New software, DockMonitor, has been designed to enhance the efficiency of the loading process by capturing operational data such as loading time, number of operations, idle time and available time. The addition of DockMonitor to the range means that Salvo™ now enables loading dock performance to be measured while still guaranteeing safety.
