MAX-SAFE Corner Watch™

The MAX-SAFE Corner Watch™ system provides valuable notification for drivers, helping monitor the blind spots on the front corner(s) of their vehicle for obstacles.

Category: Tag:

The type of cab, ride height, and the seat occupied (right or left for dual controlled vehicles) can create blind spots for drivers.

Additionally, when a driver is busy performing a task, such as garbage collection via a side-lift apparatus, they may not see obstacles or people approaching the front corners of their vehicles.

This creates an unsafe environment for both people and property, exposing people to personal injury or even death, and equipment and the vehicle to damage.

The MAX-SAFE Corner Watch™ system provides 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.

Depending on the application, either radar or ultra-sonic technologies can be used for detection.

A detection unit is mounted on the front of the vehicle and a Danger Zone is programmed to set the desired detection range. This zone typically covers a 3 meter and 110 degree arc from the front corners of the vehicle.

Our MAX-SAFE Front Watch™ system becomes active when a vehicle is operating in dual control mode, i.e., the driver is operating the vehicle from the left seat, and the vehicle is travelling at less than 8 km/h.

The detection unit is engaged to actively monitor the danger zone for obstacles. If something is detected, the system is triggered, causing the following to occur:

  • An alert is displayed on the driver’s dashboard.
  • Audible alarms are sounded from the radar display.
  • When used in conjunction with the MAX-SAFE Anti-Rollaway Brake System™, can be set to stop the vehicle by applying the brakes.

Benefits:

  • Safety aid for driver.
  • Active braking.
  • Visual alert for driver.
  • Audible alarm for pedestrians.
  • Protection of vehicle from damage.
  • Part of the MAX-SAFE Safety Eco-System.
