The MAX-SAFE® Reverse Watch system provides a sixth sense for drivers helping monitor the blind spot behind the vehicle for obstacles.

Reversing a commercial vehicle can be challenging, especially in unfamiliar locations, tight spaces, and/or darkness. 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.

This creates an unsafe environment where property and equipment can be damaged, or worse, personal injury or even death can occur.

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

The MAX-SAFE Reverse Watch® system is part of the MAX-SAFE Safety Eco-System, designed to safeguard people and property. The MAX-SAFE Reverse Watch® is an add-on to the MAX-SAFE Anti-Rollaway Brake System solution.

A radar unit is mounted on the rear of the vehicle and a Danger Zone is programmed to set the desired detection range. This zone typically covers the width of the vehicle, along with a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres behind the vehicle.

The MAX-SAFE Reverse Watch® system becomes active when the vehicle is placed into reverse, engaging the radar to actively monitor the Danger Zone for obstacles. If something is detected, the system is triggered causing the following to occur:

  • The vehicle is stopped by applying the brakes.
  • An alert is displayed on the driver’s dashboard.
  • Audible alarms are sounded from the radar display.

The system has a push button override switch, used to release the brakes after the system has triggered. An illuminated ring around the push button shows the state of the MAX-SAFE Reverse Watch® system – GREEN when the system is active, and RED when the system has triggered.

Benefits:

  • Assistance for the driver.
  • Protection of the vehicle and equipment.
  • Insurance against driver oversight.
  • Fault monitoring and over-ride switch.
  • Programmable danger zone.
  • Part of the MAX-SAFE Safety Eco-System.
