Motormax design bespoke road safety solution for highway service provider Ringway Jacobs
PROJECT BRIEF
Motormax designed a bespoke solution to improve the safety of Ringway Jacobs traffic management vehicles. The unique design means that unless the tail lift is stowed away correctly, the vehicle will not move.
Project Overview
- There were three key elements to this project – innovation, collaboration, and developing a tailor-made road safety solution to achieve specific objectives.
- Since meeting the original brief, Motormax also provide driver assistance alarms installed to the handbrake, seat belt and side door, and a live forward facing camera.

“Ringway Jacobs and Acklea were looking for a partner who could guarantee collaborative working and product innovation. The knowledge and expertise of the Motormax team meant they completely understood our challenge. The fact that Motormax design and manufacture their own products is a huge benefit, as this solution is bespoke and the first of its kind. We are continually improving the safety of our fleet in order to protect our team and the surrounding public. Motormax plays an integral part in making this happen. I look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future.” David Bonehill, Head of Fleet and Plant, Ringway Jacobs.

“The products we needed were not available in the marketplace. We engaged with several companies, and Motormax was the only company that came back with a solution. Our remit was to ensure Ringway Jacobs fleet of traffic management vehicles were compliant. Without the expertise of Motormax, this project wouldn’t have gone forwards. Motormax’s pioneering technology meant we could meet Ringway Jacob’s high standards.” Clive Brocklehurst, Acklea Product Manager.
MOTORMAX SOLUTIONS INSTALLED
A bespoke solution was designed which immobilises the vehicle when the tail lift is not stowed. Safetymax technology also delivers an image and a spoken voice warning which alerts the driver. Warnings were also installed to the near and offside doors, handbrake and seat belt. Our Safetymax technology has also enabled us to include a 360-degree parking sensor system which activates below 10mph, and a live DVR system which delivers footage from four cameras also aiding the driver with low-speed manoeuvres from images from the nearside camera and the rear camera. All this information is delivered to the driver via the on-dash monitor.
