Machinery Proximity Sensors

HTS is proud to be an approved distributor of Brigade safety products.

The ISO 5006 standard for earthmoving equipment addresses the problem of blind spots around a vehicle and states that the operator must be able to “see around the machine to enable proper, effective and safe operation.” Camera monitor systems provide this to some extent, but in difficult environmental conditions, a range of complementary devices are vital to give visual and audible operator warnings.

Brigade’s Backsense radar sensor systems are designed to detect people and objects in blind spots, significantly reducing accidents. They detect stationary and moving objects, providing the driver with in-cab visual and audible warnings - alerting the operator whose attention can not be focused on all danger areas.

Backsense works effectively in harsh environments and in poor visibility including darkness, smoke and fog.
