Machinery Warning Radar Systems
Radar-based object detection systems enhance operator awareness by identifying solid obstacles—such as walls, pallets, or vehicles—and triggering visual and audible alerts.
At ShockWatch NZ, we offer expert guidance on radar and alternative detection technologies. We'll help you evaluate the best system for your machinery, freight, or materials handling operation to improve workplace safety and reduce collision risks.
VTODSL – 4m Radar Obstacle Detection System
Designed to improve vehicle and machinery safety, the VTODSL uses radar to detect obstacles up to 4 metres away with precision. With three-stage distance alerts and automatic arming (e.g. when reversing), it helps reduce collision risks while minimising false alarms—ideal for industrial and warehouse environments.
VTODSM – 8m Radar Obstacle Detection System
With an extended 8-metre range and programmable detection zones, the VTODSM enhances machinery safety by precisely detecting obstacles and issuing progressive audible alerts. Ideal for larger equipment, it reduces collision risk while minimising false alarms—perfect for demanding industrial and warehouse operations.
Detection Zones
The system detects objects up to 8 metres away and features three programmable detection zones. Using advanced radar, it accurately calculates object distance and automatically triggers the appropriate alarm level—helping operators respond quickly and avoid collisions.
Selectable Detection Modes
• 3m x 5m
• 4m x 6m
• 6.5m x 8m
VTRCO1 & VT744 QH Combination Kit
This advanced safety system combines a 4m radar obstacle detector with an HD reversing camera, providing operators with real-time visual and audible alerts. Featuring infrared night vision, the high-definition camera overlays radar data directly onto the video feed, giving clear warnings of nearby obstacles. Perfect for enhancing safety and visibility on forklifts, trucks, and heavy machinery.
