The size and weight of vehicles and mobile plant pose a very real danger to site workers if safety measures and precautions are not adhered to. Driver visibility is already compromised by vehicle blind spots and this is often made worse by thick dust and dirt, poor weather and low light. Severe conditions require the need for equipment that not only aids the driver’s understanding of the surroundings, keeping vehicles and workers safe, but can also withstand anything the terrain can throw at it.
Brigade’s top of the range systems are ideal for vehicles and machines that require exceptional quality and consistent performance in the hardest conditions. Rigorously tested to higher standards, the superior components and build quality are reflected in their 3 years, 5 year and lifetime warranties. Ideal for heavy duty applications including N2 and N3 Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), on/off-highway vehicles, agricultural machinery and mobile plant used on Construction Civil Engineering, Quarry and Mine sites.

Backsense® heavy-duty radar sensor systems detects people and stationary or moving objects in vehicle blind spots.
Industries such as mining, quarrying, agriculture and construction use machines and plant equipment, which by their very nature pose a danger if they are not managed safely. Blind spots tend to be much larger on these vehicles and include not only the rear and nearside but also the front, especially with elevated driver positions. Terrains are harsh, vehicles are exposed to the elements more aggressively whilst thick dust and darkness decrease visibility further.
Brigade’s camera monitor systems enable drivers and operators to manoeuvre and drive safely. Used on a wide range of on and off-road applications to meet a host of health and safety and legislative requirements.
The size of commercial vehicles and machines mean vehicle blind spots are a major factor in collisions across all industries. Operator positions, bodywork, absent rear windows and bulkheads create further restrictions and can greatly limit driver visibility, making collisions even more likely.
Brigade’s camera monitor systems enable drivers and operators to manoeuvre and drive safely. Vehicle mounted cameras can help the driver to see blind spots by delivering a live feed to the in-cab monitor.
Brigade’s camera monitor systems enable drivers and operators to manoeuvre and drive safely. Shutter cameras are ideal for use in environments where the camera lens could be obscured by mud or dust.

The rear blind spot is a huge problem regardless of vehicle/machine with reversing vehicles now accounting for a quarter of all workplace deaths. With 90% of reversing accidents occurring off-road (loading bays, lorry parks, quarry sites, warehouses etc.) there has never been a greater necessity to carry out effective risk-assessments of reversing processes.
