Handbrake Warning Systems

Even with driver training programmes and strict operating procedures drivers sometimes fail to observe simple safety rules including when coming to a standstill the vehicle will remaining stationery even without the parking brake applied. An effective solution is the Talking Handbrake Warning Sounder. If the driver’s door is opened without the handbrake being applied, the O.W.L. Handbrake Warning Sounder tells the driver “DRIVER...APPLY THE HANDBRAKE” The warning message cannot be misunderstood and cannot be ignored. Now there can be no excuse for any driver to leave the cab without first applying the handbrake. Drivers’ union representatives welcome the sounder as an aid to driver safety.
