This video showcases the innovative Guardman Auto Brake Assist System on the SW884 79" highway class asphalt roller. Guardman utilizes cutting-edge millimeter wave radar to identify personnel in the vicinity of the machine, both in front and behind, a world's first for compactor technology.
The system prioritizes safety by providing progressive warnings to the operator. If no action is taken, Guardman will automatically slow down and bring the machine to a complete stop to prevent collisions with personnel or equipment. This advanced technology is available on many Sakai compactor models, with the SW884 and SW994 being the only ones featuring comprehensive front and rear detection due to their size and potential visibility limitations. Other Sakai rollers offer the equally effective rear-only Guardman system.
