The lighting, which illuminates the region around the vehicle when manoeuvring – beyond the capability of reversing lights – is designed to keep staff safe and minimise vehicle damage, according to David Frew, head of sales and marketing for Labcraft.
He explains that the Banksman range can be installed at various points around the underside of a truck’s chassis, effectively providing “a bright carpet of white light” around the vehicle.
The system – which can be fitted as standard to new vehicles or retrofitted to existing fleets – is applicable to any commercial vehicle required to manoeuvre in areas where lighting is poor.
Labcraft picked up the TCS&D Health & Safety Award 2016 for the system at this year’s Temperature Controlled Storage and Distribution awards dinner.
