Alert system for tipping safety

Alert system for tipping safety

Edbro has launched a high-voltage alert system designed to protect drivers and equipment from power line contact and other potential electrical hazards. Using a simple detection antenna, the high voltage alert senses when a tipper is dangerously close to power lines and emits audio and visual warnings to the driver.  

The warning system uses a compact detection antenna mounted within the chassis cab that is connected to an in-cab warning unit fitted with clear audio and visual warnings. The 12- to 24-volt unit is easily fitted to new vehicles or retro-fitted to vehicles already in use, typically tippers and cranes. Edbro also recently introduced a range of tipping cylinders for front-end truck and trailer applications.
