The war continues: Spillard heads for the waste industry with a simple message ‘kill your blind spots’
The waste sector will receive an insight into the latest safety solutions for mobile equipment this week when Spillard Safety Systems makes its debut at the Southern Municipal Exhibition (SME) and also in June at Waste 2016.
‘Killing blind spots’ that cause injuries and even fatalities will be the Wolverhampton firm’s key messages and delegates will be able to see firsthand the latest solutions for improving vision, detection, warning and control.
This includes the recently launched Vehicle Collision Avoidance System (VCAS) 300 and Optronics 360°, the world’s first stand-alone surround view system for vehicles, offering the operator a bird’s eye, real-time view of the vehicle and its surroundings.
“The waste sector is one of our fastest growing markets and there seems to have been a real switch in focus by local authorities and companies to embrace technology to achieve maximum safety,” explained Craig Spillard, Director of Spillard Safety Systems.
“Education is a fundamental part of what we do and the SME event will be the start of a concerted push to show industry professionals the dangers associated with blind spots and what they can do to eliminate them.”
He continued: “It’s our first time here and we want people to start getting our name out there, including our visibility studies where one of our specialists will come out and provide a free study on your fleet of vehicles.”
Spillard Safety Systems, which invests £200,000 every year on R&D, will also be using SME to showcase its new and improved All-Round Control System (ARCS)
This product provides an integrated solution to managing different safety solutions all at one time.
Embedding the latest technology in one simple box, the ARCS provides drivers and fleet managers with complete peace of mind that all products are working and delivers operational safety when driving on today’s busy roads or manoeuvring in congested depots.
The system can also be configured and adapted to each customer, so vehicles can remain safe for the driver, workers and the public.
