RECOGNISE THE DANGER.
BEFORE IT ARISES.
The safety of our employees is our top priority: to guarantee their safety, our engineers have developed sophisticated technologies – for example the “Worker Protection System II”, which detects objects in the danger zone and stops the lifting process if necessary. For this achievement, the German Association of Work Equipment (VAK) honoured the process with the Innovation Award in the assembly/component/control technology category.
Z-CAM
Intelligent rear area monitoring
The AI-assisted support system analyses the area around the lifter in real time, detects potential hazards at an early stage and reacts automatically. The safety of collection crews is its top priority. Z-CAM doesn’t just detect whether something is in the danger zone – it analyses who or what is moving there. The AI reliably distinguishes between people and bins, assesses risks in real time and makes immediate decisions – such as preventing the start, stopping or slowing down the lifter. This enables proactive accident prevention.
Worker Protection System II
Because the safety of your employees is paramount.
Infrared cameras register objects and people in the risk area during the lifting process, and both lifting areas are monitored separately: if a bin loader is so close to the waste container that he could be accidentally pulled into the collection hopper, the process stops automatically. Awarded the VAK (Association for Work Equipment and Municipal Vehicle Industry) Innovation Prize 2022 in the Assembly/Component/Control Technology category.
Clean Option 2.0
Effective protection against bioaerosols.
At ZÖLLER-KIPPER, protecting refuse collection workers is a top priority. Since inhaling bioaerosols, fine dust, mold spores, or microorganisms in the workplace can pose a health risk, CLEAN OPTION now provides effective employee protection. CLEAN OPTION works like an air curtain that counteracts the escape of bioaerosols from the vehicle.
Bi-Line
A secure feeling. In every situation.
When carrying out repair or maintenance work on the roof, workers can wear a special harness and attach it to two steel cables mounted on the roof of the refuse collection vehicle using snap hooks. For anyone who needs to climb up without wanting to fall down.
Eco-Delta
Top performance in terms of the environment and economy.
This system allows the chassis, waste collection body and lifter to work together even more efficiently: In conjunction with a large-volume hydraulic pump, the lifter is activated when the chassis is idling at around 650 revolutions per minute so that waste containers can be emptied every 6 to 8 seconds, depending on the container size. For comparison: To achieve the same work performance, conventional refuse collection vehicles have to increase their engine speed to approx. 900 revolutions per minute. In addition, the compacting mechanism of the lifter only starts when it has already completed four tipping processes. This reduces both fuel consumption and noise emissions. Ideal for: Rural regions with low container density.
Wabco Tailguard
Reversing system with ultrasonic sensors.
Visy Assistance Protection System
Because consideration creates safety.
The 3D technology was specially developed for reversing without a driver’s aid: it detects scenes and objects using infrared cameras, calculates the probability of collision taking into account the movement vector and displays this graphically on a monitor in the driver’s cab. Depending on the risk assessment, warnings in the form of acoustic signals and even engine stops are possible. Plus: a geotracking system logs all processes for possible accident reports when reversing. A 3D turn monitoring system is also available as an option. Honoured with the VAK (Association for Work Equipment and Municipal Vehicle Industry) Innovation Award 2022 in the assembly/component/control technology category.
