Gawthrope calibrates MirrorCam with Haweka
D Gawthrope ACR in Knottingley, West Yorkshire has become the first official Mercedes MirrorCam calibration centre in the UK, following the installation of the Haweka Axis4000 wheel alignment system and CMC4000 chassis measuring system, which are distributed by Bremco UK Ltd.
“In 2023 safety systems are at the forefront of the commercial vehicle industry and D Gawthrope is leading the way,” said Brett Maycock, Bremco managing director.
“The innovative safety feature fitted to Mercedes trucks has massive benefits to the fleet operator, driver, and the public operating in and around commercial vehicles.
“The MirrorCam system offers improved aerodynamics to the vehicle increasing fuel efficiency. The cameras give a constant view of rearward traffic and support during cornering in combination with sideguard assist.
“With the correct calibration of the system, the MirrorCam provides an improved view of the trailer during manoeuvring and allows accurate parking… onto loading bays.
“Above all a correctly calibrated system offers improved safety to pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users.”
Brett added: “The MirrorCam is a fantastic step forward for Mercedes in commercial vehicle technology. The calibration procedure and equipment designed together by Haweka and Mercedes in my opinion is a must-do procedure for all vehicles following any impact or accident damage.
“The accuracy and benefits of this system must be maximised by keeping the MirrorCam in good accurate calibrated condition.”
