Generally speaking, waste trucks and refuse vehicles are big, heavy vehicles that are harder to manoeuvre than standard passenger cars. Their weight can cause them to slow down further between stops and make it harder to manoeuvre in tight spaces, busy junctions, and pedestrian-heavy places.
Drivers' view surrounding the truck is restricted by its design, particularly when it comes to the sides and back. When a driver is not aware of their presence, workers, pedestrians, and cyclists may unintentionally find themselves in blind spots, leaving them vulnerable to crashes and accidents.
The majority of refuse and waste vehicles can utilise the commercial vehicle and plant safety systems offered by AIDA. Mobile digital recorders, detection, reversing alarms, 360° cameras, side cameras, in-cab monitors, and front and rear view cameras are some of these safety features.
We have included recommendations for every vehicle to help you in choosing the right equipment.
