SAFETY

OUR SAFETY COMMITMENT

At Dennis Eagle, we've always put safety first. From the design and manufacture of our vehicles to creating our own safety solutions range, nothing is more important than the safety of RCV drivers, crews, and other road users.

  • 360° coverage around your vehicle with five-camera DVR system
  • Enhanced visibility from low seating, large rear windows, and smart lighting
  • Precise detection of obstacles with audible and visible alerts when reversing

Below, you can read all about how we make safety the central focus of our cabs, chassis,and bodies.

SAFETY IN OUR CAB

LOW SEATING

The low seating position puts the driver closer to eye level with other road users, enhancing the visibility of pedestrians and cyclists and significantly reducing blind spots. This design prioritises the safety of vulnerable road users, adding an essential layer of safety in busy urban environments.

 

USER-FRIENDLY CONTROLS

Intuitively designed and ergonomically positioned, our controls deliver safer and more efficient operations to minimise driver distraction and strain.

 

RECESSED OUTER SEAT

The recessed outer seat design improves cab access, reducing the risk of trips and falls for your crew during frequent entry and exit.

AMBIENT LIGHTING

Soft lighting reduces glare and enhances visibility within the cab during low-light conditions, minimising eye strain and supporting safer operation outside of daylight hours.

 

LARGE REAR WINDOWS

Generously sized rear windows enhance visibility, aiding safer manoeuvres in tight spaces and supporting accident prevention by providing a clearer view of the working area at the rear.

 

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE

The automatic electric parking brake engages when the vehicle is stationary, preventing accidental rollaways and providing increased safety and peace of mind for your crew, particularly on uneven surfaces.

SAFETY ON OUR CHASSIS

LED CORNER BEACONS

LED corner beacons enhance visibility to other road users, particularly in low-light conditions and poor weather. Robust and reliable, our energy-efficient design ensures your vehicle remains highly visible at all times.

 

LOW-ENTRY CAB

The low step enables safer, easier access for your crew, lowering the risk of slips or falls during frequent cab entry and exit.

 

INCREASED CAB INSULATION

Our superior cab insulation reduces external noise, creating a quieter environment that improves driver wellbeing. This enhanced comfort ensures your drivers remain alert and focused across all weather conditions.

SAFETY ON OUR BODY

FIVE CAMERA DVR SYSTEM

Our five-camera system provides comprehensive coverage around your vehicle, capturing footage for review and improving fleet management and peace of mind for your crew.

 

OPTIONAL SIXTH CAMERA

An additional sixth camera can be added for even greater coverage, tailored to your specific operational requirements. This extra viewpoint improves visibility and enhances situational awareness in complex environments.

 

REVERSE RADAR ASSISTANT

Our reverse radar assistant offers precise detection of obstacles behind your vehicle, providing audible and visual alerts to your driver. This system enhances safety and efficiency during reversing manoeuvres in any environment.

REVERSE AUTOBRAKING RADAR

Our reverse autobraking radar automatically applies the brakes when an obstacle is detected while reversing. This feature significantly reduces the risk of collisions, protecting nearby road users and your crew.

 

WORK/SCENE LIGHTS

Bright work/scene lights illuminate the vehicle's surroundings, supporting safe operations in low-light conditions. These lights provide optimal visibility for crew members during loading, unloading and maintenance tasks at any time of day.
