Renowned for being at the forefront of embracing the latest health & safety technology, the Meachers Global Logistics has invested in reversing cameras for the company’s extensive fleet of tractors and trailers. The reversing cameras will be fitted to all Meachers fleet at its sites in Southampton and Derby.
Meachers has purchased the reversing cameras from Autosonics, a leader in the supply of new technology for vehicles. Meachers is using state-of-the-art CAM4000 back view reversing LED camera system in conjunction with a 5.6” TFT LCD colour monitor and sound facility with volume control so that the driver can hear if someone outside the cab shouts a warning when he is reversing. Shock resistant, the camera can operate in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +50°C and is waterproof rated to IP67.
Commenting, Richard Lambourne a Director of the Meachers Group with specific responsibility for health & safety says: “It is a recorded fact that 90% of reversing accidents occur off-road when a vehicle is reversing in car parks, loading bays, lorry parks, warehouses and construction sites and of 60% of all truck accidents happen whilst the vehicle is being maneuvered. Meachers takes health & safety extremely seriously. We believe that fitting reversing cameras onto all our vehicles will help ensure that no accidents occur when our drivers are reversing”.
