Reversing sensors are the safety technology every large vehicle driver needs. Reversing a commercial vehicle can be challenging, given the large size, unfamiliar locations, tight spaces, and/or any darkness or problematic weather conditions. Drivers rely on their mirrors to judge distances and identify obstacles, but their line-of-sight is often obscured, creating a blind spot behind their vehicle. They simply cannot see what the mirrors can’t show them.

Poor visibility and miscalculating are large contributing factors to collisions that occur while reversing according to an Auto & General 2020 Report on Australian Vehicle Accident statistics.

Furthermore, the space behind a vehicle is rarely a static zone. Other vehicles, objects and people can quickly appear in blind spots, and drivers can’t rely on people to get out of the way. They might be distracted on their mobiles, have a disability, or be impaired in their judgement.

These dynamics create an unsafe environment where property and equipment can be damaged, or worse, personal injury or even death can occur to site workers, pedestrians, or cyclists.

The MAX-SAFE Reverse Watch system is a sophisticated reversing sensor system add-on that works with and engages the MAX-SAFE active braking system and audible alarm to prevent unsafe situations. Together, they help reduce the incidence of downtime, insurance claims, and personal injury, as they don’t rely on the ability of the driver to detect a hazard or pedestrian. The system is designed to comply with Australian Design Rules (National Standards for Vehicle Safety).

Our MAX-SAFE Reverse Watch can be incorporated into new fleet builds or retro-fitted to individual vehicles. These reversing sensors are suitable for trucks and a wide range of vehicles used in road construction, mining, waste management and other industries.
