Sentinel: the reversing safety specialists

Sentinel Systems Ltd is one of the market leaders in reversing aids and safety devices suitable for all types of commercial vehicles, from light panel vans to full size articulated trucks.

Sentinel offers conventional warning devices, as well as systems that can apply brakes and hold a vehicle for 3 seconds, giving the driver time to react to the situation. We can supply systems for standard and specialist vehicles alike, including refuse and recycling vehicles. 

Sentinel systems has just launched a complete new range of systems making use of the world class DOPPLER radar, which is almost unaffected by wind, rain, snow and temperature. The system can also interact with the Sentinel auto brake and in the coming weeks will be able to interact with trailer EBS systems. 

NEW GREENSIGHT II
Gives Drivers More Control

As much information as possible. That's what’s needed when reversing in a difficult situation with little room. Groeneveld’s Greensight obstacle detection system gives drivers the edge in such situations.

Greensight utilises both active ultrasonic and camera detection. Active means that the system arms itself. Audio signals combined with optical monitoring and camera images on the colour monitor accurately inform the driver how far away his vehicle is from an obstacle.

Groeneveld can also supply recording units from a basic 2 channel, small, recorder ideal for minibuses to a larger 4 channel model for buses and coaches which has 4 camera inputs onto its hard drive that can be easily transferred to a pc or viewed on screen.
