Where Am I?
In 1988 when our business was born, in general, large commercial vehicles and plant were fitted only with mirrors to aid reversing manoeuvres.
In the late 1980's and early 1990's, exceptional strides towards reversing safety were made with the introduction of mobile CCTV systems as a must-have option.
Although a rear vision camera has been fitted as a standard feature on lots of vehicles in both on and off-road applications for many years now, recent accidents have proven that a driver can become complacent or be distracted and not use the monitor screen as a fundamental part of the reverse maneuver as he should.
Our award-winning range of intelligent reversing radar systems ('SensorVision' & 'VMS' for off-road application and 'Banksman Radar' for road-going vehicles) have been developed to provide a most reliable audible and visual reminder to the driver to look at his monitor screen to identify hazards.
Hazards such as other site vehicles, third party vehicles and property but most importantly personnel who may have wandered into the blind hazard zone behind the vehicle.
