ECHO GUARD 4
Innovative portable ultrasonic system for detecting obstacles in blind spots.

In Spain, more than 335,000 machines (platforms, forklifts, mobile machinery) are still operating without obstacle warning systems. Most belong to older fleets, where active safety has not always been a priority.


 

 
ECHO GUARD 4 was developed to address this reality.
It acts as a key assistance system during low-speed manoeuvres.

Features:

• Portable system, no permanent installation required
• Ultrasonic obstacle detection (up to 2.5 m)

• Audible alert for the operator (>80 dB)
• Direct 12 V power supply (cigarette lighter or USB)

<![CDATA[Always safe]]>

DT-PROTECT
In demanding environments, every detail matters

That’s why we’ve enhanced DT-PROTECT, the protective holder specifically designed for the D-TUERI personal voltage detector, ensuring an even more secure fixing and improved mechanical protection.

 

 

 
DT-PROTECT
allows the detector to be assembled directly onto the safety helmet, protecting it against impacts, vibrations and accidental knocks, without interfering with its correct operation.

Key benefits:
• Impact-absorbing protective cover
• Design specifically developed for D-TUERI
• Direct assembly on the safety helmet
• High resistance to wear and deformation



Quick and secure installation using industrial 3M™ VHB adhesive

<![CDATA[Technical update]]>

TBE terminals and MAL sleeves
now manufactured according to DIN dimensions


With the aim of making installation work easier and improving crimping efficiency, we have implemented a technical upgrade in our TBE (tinned aluminium terminals) and MAL (aluminium sleeves) product ranges. From now on, both products are manufactured with DIN-standard tube dimensions, which brings significant advantages worldwide.

 



 
 

Advantatges

 
Universal compatibility
By adopting DIN dimensions, our terminals and sleeves can now be crimped using any standard DIN crimping die, commonly used across the world. No special or customised dies are required.  

Faster, simpler and safer crimping
The standardisation improves process repeatability, minimises the risk of incorrect die selection, and speeds up work both in the workshop and on-site.  

Optimised time and resources
Operators can work with widely available, universal dies, reducing set-up time and avoiding tool changes.  

Consistent dimensional philosophy
Both TBE and MAL now follow a unified, internationally recognised standard across the full range.  

Please note that this upgrade does not affect the performance or quality of the product; it simply improves usability, compatibility, and workflow efficiency.
