VEHICLE DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS
Fold Down Cone Well Fronts
All our BT-HS hire IPV's come with the ability to fold down the cone well facia front to assist in the access and egress of the cone well. Fitted with speed sensors alarms.
Our Sliding Drop Sides
Sliding drop sides on our IPV's avoid the requirement for folding down normal drop sides into live lanes or verges.
Colour Coded Load Lashings
We colour code all our load lashing points to provide clear indication of where the vehicle load can be secured. This avoids instances were loads are tied down against non load bearing points.
Fully Accessible Cameras
We fit as standard a 6 camera recording system to all our IPV'S. This gives the driver and the operatives the ability to have maximum visibility around the vehicles. The systems also come with remote download and tracking options availability free on our hire vehicles.
Superior LED Illumination
Illuminated with duel LED lighting to ensure that all areas of the entire cone well are fully illuminated ensuring enhanced operator safety.
Sliding Fall Arrest System
All our IPV's come with our sliding fall arrest system. Like the sliding drop sides this removes the occasions for miss placement of removable fall arrest bars.
Colour Coded Handrails
All our IPV's come with colour coded hand grab points and clear three points of access colours. These points are supplemented by three points of access signage.
Side Scan Detection
To help protect vulnerable road users we also install as standard to all our IPS'S an audible left turn alarm system, with additional side scan detection. You can be assured that all our hire vehicles are FORS Gold compliant.
Emergency Stop Alarms
In both the offside and nearside cone wells we fit emergency warning alarms. These make a visual and auditable notification to the driver in the cab of the vehicle of any potential issues.
Full LED Lighting
The working areas on the rear and on the sides of the vehicle are illuminated with high powered LED spot lamps. With all the compartments also illuminated by LED lighting. We also illuminate the sign rack too!
Cheese Wedges In Signrack
We place cheese wedges in to the sign rack. This is to ensure that any round signage placed in to the racking does not move and roll about out of reach or operatives while in travel.
Clear Safety Signage
On all our vehicle range, both hire and direct sales, we supply clear safety signage. Be that three points of access notifications, pinch points on the body or load level indication markers.
