“They don’t have well paved roads like we do here. If we can prevent even one fatality, the whole [RollTek] program pays for itself.”
Mike Kelley, BJ Services truck and trailer specification project leader, explains the company’s motivation for including RollTek as standard on all new equipment worldwide.
“That was one heck of a ride he went on, and the RollTek system probably kept him from having serious injuries. We’re glad we had the system in place.”
Bill Beaty, Henderson Safety Manager, explains the important role RollTek played in the outcome of a Henderson truck rollover in June of 2009.
The RollTek-equipped Atlas seat is a highly adjustable, durable and comfortable seat.
Safety Features
A roll sensor located under the seat constantly monitors the truck's angular position. When an imminent rollover is detected, the RollTek system is activated:
The occupant pre-tensioner tightens the driver's seat belt to keep the driver securely in his seat.
The seat pull-down lowers the suspension seat to its lowest position to increase survivable space.
The side airbag inflates to cushion head impact and reduce the potential for head/neck injuries.
