THE PRODUCTS:
The main product range is our backWatch (which is our registered trademark) series of sonar and CCTV reversing aids, which warn the driver of approaching hazards at the rear of his vehicle.
A University of Huddersfield study has concluded that 28% of all commercial vehicles accidents occur while the vehicle is reversing, at an average repair cost of £468, this is without damage to third party property or personnel.
The study also concluded that 25% of all fatalities in the working environment were caused by reversing vehicles, the cost of litigation in these cases can run well into seven figures.
The Department of Transport further confirmed these figures. Our products are designed to alleviate these problems.
We pride ourselves on the fact that we engineer our products to suit the needs of our customers, not just offer only standard items and the range is currently being utilised on cars, vans, recreation vehicles (campers), rigid trucks, articulated and draw bar vehicles, police vehicles, coaches, ambulances, fire engines, refuse collection vehicles etc.
We believe that we are the only company that can offer such products that are totally interchangeable between tractors and trailers of articulated and drawbar vehicles.
We also have recently introduced a model suitable for trailers, there being no need for units in the tractor cab. The Netherlands based company Groenveld offer their Greensight system for this application at around £700. We believe we have designed a far superior system which is priced at much less than this.
THE COMPANY:
The company is a privately owned U.K. registered company, which although quite a young company, has Directors and staff with a combined international experience of over 150 years.
The formation of the company was to exploit a perceived niche in safety products for the automotive market, both domestic and commercial, particularly in the reversing area.
A number of products were existing on the market, all of which were quite complicated, difficult to fit, some were unreliable and all were expensive.
Initially it was envisaged to design a product similar to those existing in the market place i.e. with a control box, which both sensors and the main CDU had to be tuned to. However over the development period, utilising advanced electronics and the skill of our design team, we evolved a far superior product, which required no control box, all sensors were pre tuned and all electronics contained in the CDU, which was safe from weather in the cab of the vehicle.
We have invested considerable funds in designing and manufacturing an extremely reliable product, which can be fitted in about 25% of the time of any competitive product and is competitively priced.
Our main manufacturing plant also produces climatic control units for the automotive industry and just utilising one production line, on a one shift basis, we have a manufacturing capacity of 6,000 units per month of the sonar reversing aids. This can easily be increased to satisfy demand.
We are committed to excellence both in the quality of our products and the service which we give to our customers/partners.
We view our relationship with our clients as a long-term partnership.
