ASS have installed a ZoneSafe Vehicle to Pedestrian System (V2P) to a Hitachi Excavator for Singapore based YTL CE and Builders Pte Ltd. The system will help to protect workers who may come in to close contact with the excavator whilst working.

YTL specialise in sewer and water pipe laying, pipe jacking, shaft and manhole construction, construction of airport parking aprons and taxi ways, infrastructure works and road works in general.

Many of the company’s projects are performed for the Singapore Publics Utilities Board (PUB), and the PUB have been instrumental in guiding YTL to incorporate ZoneSafe as a safety measure.

ASS’s technical team will install and commission the equipment during August 2020.

ASS will be installing a ZoneSafe Vehicle to Pedestrian System (V2P) to a Jungheinrich Fork Lift Truck. Jungheinrich are one of the prominent Fork Lift Truck leasing companies in Singapore, and have many key customers in the logistics sector.

Jungheinrich will use this Fork Lift Truck to demonstrate to existing, and potential clients, the value of having the additional safety of the ZoneSafe equipment in place.

ASS and Jungheinrich are working together to provide safety solutions to TOLL Logistics at their logistics centre based in Tuas, Singapore. Using their extensive range of trial equipment, ASS will fully demonstrate the capabilities of Vehicle to Person, and Vehicle to Vehicle safety. The tests will also demonstrate interfaces to Fork Lift Trucks to enable the vehicles to switch to ‘Creep’ mode.

These tests and trials will demonstrate the flexibility of the ZoneSafe range of products.

ASS’s technical team will install and commission the equipment during August 2020.

YTL CE and Builder Pte Ltd are the latest company to embrace the ZoneSafe Systems to help protect their workers who may come into contact with an industrial vehicle. YTL CE and Builder Pte Ltd are an established, and Building and Construction Authority (BCA) registered company based in Singapore. Amongst their daily activities they specialise in sewer and water pipe laying, pipe jacking, shaft and manhole construction, infrastructure works and road works.

YTL CE and Builder Pte Ltd were impressed with the capabilities of the ZoneSafe Systems, and have invested in a system for a single Excavator, together with Personnel Tags and Charging Units.

This project will serve as a ‘proof of concept’ initiative for the company, who’s goal is to provide a high level of safety for their workers.
