For truck drivers with a large trailer behind them, this issue is even more acute, due to the sheer size of the vehicle and trailer making visibility difficult.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<p>The blind spot can contribute to accidents, leading to damage to trailers and cargo \u2013 and it isn\u2019t always the driver\u2019s fault. Adverse weather and the behaviour of other road users can have an impact too, and accidents can be expensive, damaging trailers, cargo, loading docks and your reputation. That\u2019s where TailGUARD\u2122 from WABCO comes into play.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]\n            <div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 20px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>\n            <div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"center\"><div style=\"margin-top: 12.5px; width: 20%px; height: 4px; margin-bottom: 12.5px;\" data-width=\"20%\" data-animate=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"\" data-color=\"accent-color\" class=\"divider-small-border\"><\/div><\/div><p class=\"vc_wabco_quotation\">TailGUARD\u2122 will help fleet managers slash vehicle downtime, expensive repairs and damage to unloading facilities.<\/p>\n            <div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"center\"><div style=\"margin-top: 12.5px; width: 20%px; height: 4px; margin-bottom: 12.5px;\" data-width=\"20%\" data-animate=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"\" data-color=\"accent-color\" class=\"divider-small-border\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 40px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div><h2 class=\"vc_wabco_h2_sub\">TailGUARD\u2122 for trailers<\/h2>[vc_column_text]\n<p>TailGUARD\u2122 was developed as a rear blind-spot detection system for use with trailers as part of WABCO\u2019s Intelligent Trailer Program. Whether the object is moving or static \u2013 the function kicks in the moment the driver shifts into reverse, alerting the driver to hazards behind the vehicle and automatically stopping it.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ei1CXgYEO34?rel=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"auto\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<p>You can pre-set the distance to make sure drivers have plenty of room to manoeuvre while keeping safe. If the trailer gets too close to a hazard behind the vehicle, it will brake automatically, which provides a huge help in avoiding collisions with unseen objects.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]<h2 class=\"vc_wabco_h2_sub\">Features of TailGUARD\u2122<\/h2>[vc_column_text]\n<p>TailGUARD has numerous applications that make it essential for fleet managers. The braking range kicks in at a programmable pre-set between 50 cm and 2 m away from objects and walls, using ultrasonic sensors that measure the distance from the trailer to nearby objects. Unlike cameras, which can deliver low quality images or freeze at night and during low visibility, these sensors continue to work effectively in such conditions.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<p>In addition, it tells drivers to reverse at a safe speed by pulsing the brakes if the reversing speed exceeds 9km\/h. If you combine it with WABCO OptiLink, the distance to objects will be displayed accurately to the driver in the cab, complete with both a visual and acoustic warning when the trailer approaches an object. On top of this, TailGUARD\u2122 can be retrofitted too, making it an inexpensive boost to fleet safety.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;12022&#8243; animation=&#8221;Fade In From Bottom&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;]<h2 class=\"vc_wabco_h2_sub\">How will TailGUARD\u2122 help my fleet?<\/h2>[vc_column_text]\n<p>Keeping trucks and trailers safe is at the core of what every fleet manager needs to do. Not only do you want to protect your drivers from accidents, you also want to ensure your trailers don\u2019t sustain damage, both externally and to the cargo within.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<p>TailGUARD\u2122 will help fleet managers slash:<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"plusbullets\"><ul>\n<li>Vehicle downtime<\/li>\n<li>Expensive repairs<\/li>\n<li>Damage to unloading facilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]\n<p>It will also enable you to maintain customer satisfaction levels by delivering on time and having vehicles on the road that haven\u2019t been unnecessarily damaged. This ensures safety on your own and your customers\u2019 premises when vehicles reverse and unload &#8211; especially important when delivering to supermarkets. It goes without saying that it will keep your drivers and other road users safer too, an important stakeholder factor to consider during a time of driver scarcity.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]\n            <div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 20px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>\n            <div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"center\"><div style=\"margin-top: 12.5px; width: 20%px; height: 4px; margin-bottom: 12.5px;\" data-width=\"20%\" data-animate=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"\" data-color=\"accent-color\" class=\"divider-small-border\"><\/div><\/div><p class=\"vc_wabco_quotation\">Whether the object is moving or static \u2013 the function kicks in the moment the driver shifts into reverse, alerting the driver to hazards behind the vehicle and automatically stopping it.<\/p>\n            <div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"center\"><div style=\"margin-top: 12.5px; width: 20%px; height: 4px; margin-bottom: 12.5px;\" data-width=\"20%\" data-animate=\"\" data-animation-delay=\"\" data-color=\"accent-color\" class=\"divider-small-border\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 40px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text]\n<p>Invest in TailGUARD\u2122 as a key component of running a safer and more efficient fleet.
