Labcraft announced at the CV Show their new BM3 Banksman R23 LED Light which enables OEMs, Operators and Fleets to meet Regulation 48 directives for manoeuvring lights installed pre-vehicle registration.

This breakthrough product, which is Regulation 23 compliant, will provide a manoeuvring light solution applicable to any commercial vehicle where improving safety and reducing costs is important.

“The BM3 Banksman is a world first – an effective light that enables OEMs and Fleet owners to meet Regulation 48 manoeuvring light criteria on Commercial Vehicles pre-registration.  Installing this light will help to reduce serious injury to people, and damage to vehicles and property”, David Frew, Head of Sales & Marketing for Labcraft, commented.

The Labcraft Banksman range helps to reduce accidents and collisions incurred when manoeuvring by illuminating the area around the vehicle with bright white light, lighting areas traditional reversing lights cannot cover.

The Banksman system can be installed at various points around the underside of the chassis and provides a bright carpet of white light around the vehicle.  This significantly improves driver visibility enabling them to avoid obstructions in dimly lit areas reducing damage to the vehicle, to property and reducing the risk of serious injury to 3rd parties.

Banksman solutions are simple to install and connect directly to the vehicle loom.  This innovative solution can be fitted as standard to new vehicles or retrofitted to an existing fleet.

The new BM3 Banksman light comes with Labcraft’s industry leading 10 year warranty which, in most cases, matches the life of the vehicle, offering true ‘fit & forget’ lighting solutions.  All Labcraft products are manufactured in the UK and meet vehicle e-type approval.
