Back-Up Guide
Our new Back-Up Guide is highly visible day or night and makes it easy for anyone to accurately back up a truck, wagon, or trailer. The brightly-colored Guide is made from recycled plastic. It has an infrared sensing device that automatically turns on the lights as a vehicle enters the detection zone of the sensor. Both the side guide and back "stop block" are equipped with highly visible strip lighting. There's a bright yellow bulb on the vertical standard.
I built it because I know a lot of people who have trouble backing their truck up to an auger, especially at night. I've tried using 2 by 4 boards, but I couldn't see them well and they moved around a lot. These brightly colored pieces are highly visible and the strip lighting really shows up at night. The unit can be powered by a self-contained 12-volt rechargeable battery or by an optional 12-volt power source with the flip of a switch. Available in yellow, white, blue, black and neon fluorescent colors, the two guide pieces fold up for easy transport and come with a carrying bag. Sells for $289.
