The Lifecycle Cost of Safety Upgrades vs. Accident Costs
When councils or fleet operators evaluate safety upgrade inclusions on new builds or retro-fit, it is common to begin...
"In our experience you pay for what you get and it’s a really good system. If you want a good anti-rollaway system for all round safety, this is it. Holistically, when you see the kits, the installation and how it works in action, no driver intervention, nothing for the driver to remember, safety of the vehicle and safety of people, it’s well worth it."
Wayne Muiznieks
Fleet Coordinator,
Connetics, New Zealand
"Less than 45 minutes into day one of the trial, the system prevented what could have been a potential accident with an adult. It highlighted how close a near miss it was and how vital this type of solution was."
Jonathan Dick
General Manager Fleet & Systems, Smart Environmental, NZ
"MAX-SAFE Side View Solution provided superior VRU detection to standard side mirrors and cameras and was most beneficial to the drivers involved in the trial."
Matthew Wentman
National Fleet Manager, Cleanaway Waste Management
"We have used SGESCO-MAX products for over three years and have found them to be an innovative safety solution for our fleet vehicles and effective in achieving zero incidents in trucks reversing or accidentally rolling away."
Tony Rawson
National Fleet Category Manager, Suez Recycling & Recovery, ANZ
"There is a big need for MAX-SAFE products in New Zealand. You only hear about a roll away when there is a crash, but the number is far greater than what is reported. Recently, there was a tour bus in Auckland that rolled away and ran over a Mum and a baby. Both survived luckily, but if the bus had the MAX-SAFE device fitted this accident never would have occurred."
Gary Puklowski
Managing Director, Autokraft Electrical & Diesel Ltd
"When you go to a fire, and your adrenaline is rushing, you need to focus on the fire and what you need to do. Worrying about whether you’ve left the handbrake on or not, is the last thing on your mind."
Lenny Toscano
First Officer for the Brigade, QLD Rural Fire Service
"The MAX-SAFE Seatbelt Warning System™ optimises the safety of our clients’ most valuable asset – their employees – and Kinetics employees."
Joe Gould
Regional Manager – Workshop, Kinetic Specialised Resources
"With 99+% detection accuracy of the VRUs, Veolia has been impressed with the reliability of the new MAX-SAFE AI camera and other solutions."
Andrew Forbes
BCC Contract Operations Manager, Veolia
"Cleanaway has utilised the MAX-SAFE Anti-Rollaway system for over 20 years to protect against uncontrolled moment of heavy vehicles. The anti-rollaway safety system has been added as a mandatory technical specification for all new builds a number of years back. Cleanaway values the importance of the engineered safety controls and that’s why our waste trucks are taken out of service if the system detects a fault. The solution works and it is why we continue to apply it to mitigate the risk of vehicle roll-aways."
Nicholas Dhar
Head of Fleet Safety and Compliance, Cleanaway
"The MAX-SAFE Anti-Rollaway solution has been a major safety investment for Firth. While it is not the cheapest solution on the market, it is the best. We are on a journey to improve safety and raise industry standards and see this as a legacy project."

Head of Environment, Health, and Safety, Fletcher Building Concrete Division
The MAX-SAFE Ecosystem
THE MOST ADVANCED, PREVENTATIVE SAFETY solution FOR HEAVY VEHICLE FLEET MANAGEMENT
Fleet management has long relied on maintenance schedules, driver training, and toolbox talks. Necessary, yes—but not sufficient in stopping accidents before they happen.
Unlike the MAX-SAFE Safety Eco-System™.
It delivers active, preventive interventions—proven life-saving technologies—through on-board intelligence and an integrated suite of systems designed to keep vehicles, drivers, and communities safe. In doing so, it protects not only lives, but also vehicle uptime, business continuity, and brand reputation.
