We are pleased to announce that we are now working with Safety Shield. Safety Shield is a camera-based collision avoidance system that aims to reduce the chance of a machine accident.
Some of our hire fleet machines are being fitted with Safety Shields external camera system and internal operator alert interface. The system works by setting a safety radius around the machine. When someone or something is detected in the Safety Shield outer zone radius an alarm inside the machine sounds. When someone or something is detected in the Safety Shield inner zone radius an alarm inside the machine sounds with an audio message of “Pedestrian Detected” and the panel lights up. An alarm will sound when person has left the Safety Shield radius so you can continue work.
This system is becoming mandatory on some construction sites, so we are looking forward to rolling this system out across our hire fleet.
