Clear Spoken Warnings Around Working Vehicles

In busy yards, depots, loading areas and urban environments, people nearby need clear warning when a vehicle is manoeuvring. Backchat speaking alarms provide real speech messages rather than a simple tone, helping communicate the nature of the risk or vehicle action.

The range includes reversing alarms, night shift reversing alarms, handbrake alarms and side-turn alarms, giving operators a choice of spoken warning for different vehicle safety needs.

With standard and bespoke message options available, Backchat alarms help operators deliver a clear warning that can be understood quickly in busy working environments.

Brigade Backchat® Speaking Alarms

Brigade Backchat® speaking alarms use clear spoken messages to alert people nearby when a vehicle is reversing, turning or when the handbrake has not been applied. Designed for 12-24Vdc applications, the range supports practical audible communication around commercial vehicles and mobile plant.
