Find the right safety system for your refuse and waste vehicle or fleet
Due to the design of these vehicles, drivers have limited visibility around the truck, especially on the sides and rear. Workers, pedestrians and cyclists may inadvertently find themselves in blind spots, making them vulnerable to accidents and collisions when the driver is unaware of their presence.
Brigade’s commercial vehicle and plant safety systems are suitable for most waste and refuse vehicles. These safety systems include front and rear-view cameras, 360° cameras, side cameras, in-cab monitors, ultrasonic sensors, Backsense® detection, bbs-tek® backup alarms and mobile digital recorders.

To help you to select the correct devices, we have made recommendations for each vehicle and plant equipment.

Damage being made to parked vehicles
Collisions happening with people, cyclists and objects
Reversing incidents due to the rear blind spot
Receiving false accusations of damage to vehicles or property
