Spillard News

ll Round Vision convex mirrors supplied by Spillard Safety Systems of Gailey in Staffordshire have been specified by Hydrex for fitment to a new fleet of 44 Cat wheeled excavators and telehandlers to ensure safe working.

The quadra-spherical, half convex mirrors will ensure that operator visibility meets the current Health & Safety Executive guidelines which require the operator to be able to see a 1 m high object placed at any point around the machine at a distance of 1 m.

Because of their shape, the quadra-spherical mirrors not only provide excellent visibility but, by omitting the unnecessary top portion, also protect the operator from overhead distraction and sun glare.

Unlike some suppliers of safety equipment, Spillard Safety Systems always undertakes a free assessment of every machine type and model in order to recommend the most suitable combination of mirrors and/or cameras to provide the required visibility. In addition, the company designs and manufactures the necessary brackets to ensure the mirrors are correctly fitted.
