Frequently Asked Questions

What is a reversing sensor?

A reversing sensor is an obstacle detection system that uses ultrasonic technology to identify objects behind a vehicle and alert the driver during reversing manoeuvres.

How do reversing sensors work?

Reversing sensors emit ultrasonic waves and measure the time taken for the signal to return after hitting an object. The system then provides audible and visual warnings based on the distance detected.

What are the benefits of reversing sensors?

Reversing sensors help reduce collisions, prevent vehicle damage, improve driver awareness and support safer manoeuvring in confined spaces.

Are reversing sensors suitable for commercial vehicles?

Yes. Backscan® is specifically designed for commercial vehicles and can be fitted to trucks, vans, utility vehicles, municipal fleets and construction equipment.
