The firm, which supplies sand, gravel, aggregates and Cotswold stone from its quarries in Oxfordshire, alongside running haulage, plant hire and contracting services used Brigade Electronics to install 360 degree bird’s-eye view camera monitoring systems on its entire tipper fleet.
The company says it was concerned about information-overload on drivers who otherwise have to scan up to six mirrors and/or monitors in quick succession to check each blind spot.
The 360 degree system blends the images from four wide-angle cameras mounted on the truck body to produce a single bird’s-eye view covering all blind spots.
Also fitted are further Brigade sensors at cab floor level to alert both the driver and vulnerable road users when turning left.
All meet the specification standards for FORS, CLOCS and Crossrail.
