Autokraft Electrical & Diesel (AED) New Zealand’s Authorized MAX-SAFE Dealer

MAX-SAFE systems are designed to reduce risk around heavy vehicles by helping prevent rollaway incidents, improving visibility, and supporting safer operation around worksites, drivers and pedestrians.

Developed by SGESCO-MAX in Australia, MAX-SAFE technology is supplied and supported in New Zealand by Autokraft Electrical & Diesel. From our workshop in Palmerston North, we manage supply, installation coordination, technical support and after-sales service nationwide.

With experience across sales, technical support and installation, Autokraft helps businesses choose and implement MAX-SAFE solutions suited to their vehicles, fleet requirements and safety goals.

Anti-Rollaway Braking

Helps prevent unintentional vehicle movement by automatically applying the brake if the driver exits without setting it. The system monitors inputs like door position, seat occupancy, and brake status, and intervenes instantly when needed.

Blind Spot Monitoring

Minimises accidents by eliminating blind spots and improving visibility for greater driver awareness.

VRU Protection

Offering a range of advanced Radar and AI Camera solutions to detect pedestrians & vulnerable road users (VRU’s) and preventing collisions.

What sets MAX-SAFE apart is its proactive approach to risk. These aren’t just alert systems — they’re smart, responsive technologies designed to act when humans can’t or don’t. Whether it’s automatically applying brakes to prevent a rollaway or detecting a cyclist in a truck’s blind spot, every system is engineered to anticipate real-world hazards and respond with precision.

Backed by strong local expertise and nationwide support, MAX-SAFE has become the safety solution of choice for leading Kiwi operators across construction, logistics, and civil transport. It’s a proven system, built to meet the demands of New Zealand roads, vehicles, and fleet environments.

WHY FLEET MANAGERS PREFER MAX-SAFE

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.
