With vehicle safety at the heart of everything we do, our reversing waterproof radar systems comprise a key part of our offering here at COCVES Techniques. Designed to prevent costly and sometimes deadly collisions, our radars have been designed for (and widely used by) the industrial, construction and waste sectors, as well as several more besides. Each one has been created to fulfil a specific purpose, so here we’ve explained the key differences between them – so that you’re able to pick the one that best suits your industry.
A quick introduction to our reversing radars
Although certain characteristics differ between our reversing radars, they’re all designed with one key aim: to reduce the risk of collisions, protecting property and most importantly, human life. They essentially do this by constantly measuring the distance between the vehicle and the nearest stationary or moving obstacle, using Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave technology for 100% accurate detection.
When the system judges an object to be too close, it uses in-cab visual and audio alarms to alert the driver, giving him ample time to react to the hazard. (Some products will even activate the braking system on the driver’s behalf, for maximum safety.)
All of our radar systems are manufactured in the China and are resilient against moisture, dust, vibration, water, and the elements. Below, we’ve divided our six reversing radars into two categories: On The Road, and Off Highway.
On the road reversing radars
As the name suggests, these are designed for vehicles which will be spending a significant amount of time out on public highways, either in the course of their primary duties, or while travelling between job sites. While out on public highways, it’s normal for drivers to have to navigate through areas that might require tight manoeuvring, such as residential areas. What’s more, they will have to contend with members of the public on foot and in passing vehicles – some of whom can be more alert than others!
Our reversing radars are particularly useful for vehicles operating in the municipal or waste industries, as the latest reports note that 28% of accidents caused in the workplace are due to being struck by a moving vehicle.
