Obstacle detection system
Supplier of aggregate and concrete, J Clubb, is trialling Brigade’s new radar obstacle detection system to provide drivers with clear warnings of people or obstructions in the way of manoeuvring mobile plant.
The sensor system (BS-8000) controls the radar beam pattern, so the spread of the beam can be restricted to the width of the plant for the length of the detection area to minimise false alerts on a busy site or in a crowded mine or quarry.
The in-cab display has a clear, easy-to-read visual warning with five LEDs corresponding to five distance zones from the vehicle. The warning buzzer has an adjustable sound level of 65 to 90dB making it audible in even the noisiest working environments.
