High Voltage Detection Systems 'HVDS'

Overhead power lines are a hidden killer for operators of heavy plant and machinery.

On average two people are killed each year because the victims did not understand fully the serious dangers that could arise when working near high voltage power lines.

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.
