The Workzone Backsense pulsed radar system from 2662 Brigade boasts close-in corner-to-corner blind-spot detection, and is said to be ideal for light to medium duty mobile plant machinery. It completes Brigade's portfolio of Xtreme and Standard pulsed radar obstacle-detection systems.

Sensors are connected to an-in cab warning device to alert the driver of an object, vehicle or person in his danger zone when manoeuvring.
