Brief Description:

The Broadband Reversing Alarms warn pedestrians and other vehicles of a reversing vehicle. Broadband reversing alarms (also known as Quackers) are designed to do this much more effectively than standard tonal alarms while reducing noise pollution.

Key Features and Other Technical Information:
  • The alarm is directional. The person behind the vehicle can hear it clearly and at volume.
  • The alarm has a broad range of frequencies so people with any type of hearing impairment are more likely to hear it and the source of the alarm is easier to ascertain.
  • Several of the products are self adjusting in volume depending on the ambient noise.
  • The alarms are well established in NZ and are endorsed by NZTA for roading construction projects.
