Delivering site machinery using flatbed trucks is often a delicate operation. When renewing its fleet, LOXAM wanted to reduce the risk of accidents during loading and unloading operations, so it fitted them with a safety device to make it easier for the driver to position the machine on the flatbed.

Working with CVIM, a bodybuilder based in the Vendée, HYPHEN TECH has developed a device comprising an ultrasound sensor to measure the approach of the machine, and two warning lights located at the top and bottom of the deck that change colour according to the distance. As site machinery rarely has reversing radar, the machinery carrier itself does.

This solution is now one of the HYPHEN TECH products offered to all our customers, who install them on new or retrofit vehicles.
