  LifeGuard Technologies® customers benefit from the company’s thorough understanding of off-highway applications and the diverse needs of end users. Extensive options are available for seat belt system customization, including the integration of wiring harnesses with vehicle safety systems.
Design teams work with original equipment manufacturers to accommodate the geometry of the vehicle and the characteristics of specific seats, with a goal of making the seat belt easily accessible to the operator. Attachment points are designed to securely hold hardware in the best position for a safe and comfortable fit. If the application requires restraint for the upper torso, LifeGuard engineering teams can develop systems to meet customer needs.
Over the past 15 years, LifeGuard Technologies engineers have developed extensive, specialized expertise in the development of occupant safety systems that incorporate airbags. LifeGuard engineers work with OEMs and supplier partners to determine airbag parameters and placement within each vehicle. They study impact points carefully from every angle before arriving at a solution that will provide increased protection for the vehicle occupant.
LifeGuard RollTek® deploys in less than a quarter of a second to help protect operators involved in a rollover accident. In the event of a rollover, advanced seat belt technology works in sync with integrated airbags to significantly reduce the potential for death or serious injury.
Here’s how the system works: A sensor inside the cab monitors the vehicle's side angle (tilt) and roll rate, and if it detects an imminent rollover, it initiates up to three events.
- The system tightens the operator's seat belt to minimize movement.
- It pulls down the suspension seat to its lowest position to increase survivable space between the operator's head and the roof of the vehicle.
- The system inflates a side airbag to cushion head impact and to reduce head and neck injuries during the rollover.
