The type of cab, ride height, and the seat occupied (right or left for dual controlled vehicles) can create blind spots for the driver. In addition, when a driver is focusing on performing a task, such as bin collection in a side-lift vehicle, they can be distracted from obstacles in front of their vehicles.
This creates an unsafe environment for both people and property, exposing equipment to damage, and pedestrians to personal injury, or even death.
The MAX-SAFE Front Watch system provides both an audible alarm coupled with an active braking system to prevent these unsafe situations; helping reduce the incidence of vehicle downtime, insurance claims, personal injury, or death. The system is designed to comply with Australian Design Guidelines.
It is also part of the MAX-SAFE Safety Eco-System designed to safeguard people, vehicles and equipment.
