Truckmate is designed to eliminate much of the guesswork when manoeuvring a truck at awkward road junctions, or when reversing into tight loading bays. It allows a nearside mirror to be rotated through 900 to give a clear view around blindspots, and includes a safety cutoff which disengages the drive if contact with an external object is made, thus reducing the risk of damage to the mirror.
Mirror swivelling is controlled by a single dash-mounted control, and an extra, handheld remote control unit can be supplied as an option.
Truckmate can be used with existing, fixed mirrors, or complete units can be supplied with mirrors attached. Each unit is covered by a 12-month warranty, and Malin Industries offer a full fitting and spare parts service. Cost for a single Truckmate unit, without fitting or mirror, is £115 plus VAT.
