The company, which employs over 30 people at its headquarters in Wolverhampton, will fit the new technology on to its 3-ton Show Dumper truck that will make its first appearance on Stand D46 from 6 to 8 June.
With this live VCAS 300, a vision study will also be mapped out to provide delegates with a firsthand insight into how the system works and the dangers that can be avoided.
Explains Spillard Safety Systems managing director Peter Spillard: “We developed off highway object detection in 1998 and VCAS has proven to be a very popular active system, with customers already choosing to fit VCAS 300 to their vehicles to help detect both static and moving objects.
“The upgrade provides an all-in-one system that reduces any annoying false alerts by detecting only within the envelope of the machine blind spot. Using powerful non-contact sonic sensing technology provides an audible and visual warning (through LED display) and, for the first time, clients will be able to add a number of features to take it to the next level.”
Finance director Craig Spillard concluded: “For many of our customers in construction and plant, investing in safety is a high priority. We are continually working with them to develop their approach to blind spots and to protect the one thing they all have in common.
“They all share a desire to improve the safety of their workers, other site users and the new VCAS additions will take this to the next level. Workers benefit from an integrated system with all the features in one neat package.”
