Lytx Fatigue Detection connects to compatible dualfacing dashcams to detect signs of drowsy driving over a continuous period of time and alerts the driver and fleet when these instances occur. It combines AI and machine vision to find instances of drivers closing their eyes for more than one second, head nodding, leaning on the steering wheel, and lane departures. Once it detects risky behavior, the system provides in-cab alerts to the driver. Real-time professional reviewers can also send text notifications to fleet managers for added safety and preventive action. For more information visit FleetMaintenance.com/55310290

Reduces chips and windshield damage

Features Front Underrun Mitigation System, VISR Bar, and more

Madico’s ClearPlex windshield protection film is a transparent, scratchresistant layer designed to protect glass from road debris and impact damage. The film helps reduce rock chips and cracks, extending windshield life and minimizing unplanned repairs. Its optically clear design maintains visibility while allowing water and debris to shed more easily. The film also blocks UV exposure to help protect vehicle interiors. By preventing damage that can lead to replacements or ADAS recalibration, it can help fleets avoid higher repair costs and downtime. It is suited for trucks, buses, and other vehicles with large, flat windshields.

The Ex-Guard MAX is a grille guard featuring Ex-Guard’s Front Underrun Mitigation system, Steer Tire Defender, which protect front tires and fog lights, and the VISR Bar, which helps protect collision mitigation systems and fog lamps.

Tracks distraction and drowsiness in real time Seeing Machines’ Guardian Generation 3 in-vehicle system helps protect drivers from drowsy or distracted driving. According to the company, the solution’s advanced drowsiness and distraction detection reduces drowsy driving risks by more than 94%. The system uses computer monitoring technology to track driver behavior, and then sends drivers visible, audible, and haptic feedback through a vibration unit under the seat when it detects drowsiness or distraction. The system can also capture event-based footage and transmit it to analysts, who can then notify fleet managers. To protect drivers’ privacy, Guardian only records when a safety event is detected.

REFINING WHAT MOVES THE INDUSTRY FORWARD. The Detroit® Gen 6 engine platform proves that real progress doesn’t require a complete redesign. Built on 20 years of trusted technology, these engines are designed for eﬃciency, stronger performance, and greater reliability than before. And they do it all while complying with 2027 EPA standards on every mile.

For interchangeable truck bed systems

Safer solution for raised dump beds The reality is prop rods are not rated in pounds for maximum capacity. They rust in place or completely through and are not reliable. Wood planks will splinter under load and were never meant to hold up a dump box, loaded or unloaded. The BedLock System was designed to be a safer solution to hold up an unloaded dump box and was tested and rated to 50,000 lbs. when used in pairs. With two chains, hooks, and the unique double key slot retention plate, the BedLock system allows multiple securing methods ensuring maximum safety and peace of mind when working between the raised dump bed. Available in several models.

Hilltip’s AM Series Extended-Auger Spreader is a combination material and liquid spreader designed for interchangeable truck bed systems, allowing the hopper to sit closer to the bulkhead for improved weight distribution. Available in 2.0- to 4.2-cu.-yd. polyethylene hopper capacities, the spreaders use 6” stainless-steel augers to resist corrosion and are driven by 12- or 24-v dual motors. An integrated vibrator and inverted-V help maintain consistent material flow. Units can be equipped with 220- to 250-gal. liquid tanks with pre-wet and spray options for anti-icing and de-icing. The extended auger is also offered as a retrofit kit, helping fleets adapt existing spreaders to newer bed configurations while improving winter maintenance efficiency.

Installation time for tire sensors is reduced from roughly 14 minutes to a few minutes by eliminating manual adhesives and preparation steps. The system captures pressure, temperature, and mileage data and is compatible with factory-installed or retrofit sensor configurations. The debut application is the Conti Coach HA3 line for commercial fleet use.

The Tread Master 2.0 from Launch Tech USA is a handheld tire depth examiner that uses laser scanning with 1/32nd accuracy. With options to scan both the full tread or a singlegroove and provide detailed wear data with inspection reports, it’s ideal for workshops and fleet maintenance. Inspection reports include wear analysis, braking distance estimates, and service recommendations such as rotation, replacement, and alignment. Take high-quality photos to include in inspection reports. For more information visit FleetMaintenance.com/55370919

Fail-proof LED solution Peterson Manufacturing’s Genesis truck and trailer lighting offers a redundant LED solution that eliminates the risk of partial diode failures. Instead of having one LED under the optic that can go out, Genesis has two, and because each LED operates independently, power is instantly redistributed internally when one diode fails. The transition is not available from the outside, meaning the light stays on and operational. This new design, which is first available for trailer lights, provides lower risk during roadside inspection and more predictable visibility. The installation process also remains the same as Peterson’s existing lights. For more information visit FleetMaintenance.com/55366224

Tests both 12v and 24v relays Universal Relay Buddy features Electronic Specialties’ widest ever test coverage. It also tests both 12v and 24v relays, further expanding test coverage. Its five test ports accept seven of the most common relays in use today. Proprietary internal circuitry sorts out the difference between SAE standard, bifurcated, and two-branch relays, as well as that special green BMW/Mini relay with two 87 pins and pins 86/30 switched. This gives greater overall testing coverage not available on previous testers. If the relay plugs into Universal Relay Buddy, there is extreme high probability that it will successfully test that relay. For more information visit FleetMaintenance.com/55370921
