Do you have vehicles within your fleet that extend into the air? 5.2m is the minimum height for power lines up to 33kV.
Power lines are often forgotten until it’s too late, they are not always visible in direct sun light or in inclement weather.
There are fatalities and serious injuries involving overhead power lines all over the world.
Whether operating heavy mobile plant, fixed assets or tipper lorries our High Voltage Detection System helps to give peace of mind when working around and below power lines giving the operator additional support to carry out their day-to-day functions in a safe and efficient manner. Ideal for all plant and machinery with variable height, HVDS is designed to aid vehicles and machinery with a variable height from coming into contact with high voltage overhead power lines. The system consists of a detection antenna and an in cab audio/visual warning unit. The system can sense the presence of overhead power cables from up to 100 meters away warning the operator of the potential danger.
The HVDS can be easily fitted to any Tipper Vehicles, Excavators, Telehandlers, Cranes, Platforms etc…
