Case Study: FTC Safety Solutions & JCB

Enhancing Operator Safety with Pedestrian Detection and Digital Thumbs Up Systems

FTC Safety Solutions and JCB have formed a robust, long-standing partnership built on a shared commitment to innovation, safety, and reliability. This relationship has culminated in a significant milestone: the integration of FTC’s Pedestrian Detection Camera and Digital Thumbs Up systems as preferred safety options for JCB’s global fleet of Teletruks.

The Challenge

With a global network of dealers and an unwavering focus on operator and site safety, JCB sought to enhance the safety capabilities of their Teletruk range. The goal was to offer best-in-class, optional safety systems that could be promoted across their international dealer network. To achieve this, JCB undertook extensive testing and evaluation of multiple safety technology providers, aiming to identify a reliable, effective solution that would meet the rigorous demands of industrial and logistics environments.

The FTC Solution

FTC Safety Solutions emerged as the clear frontrunner. Our advanced Pedestrian Detection Camera and Digital Thumbs Up systems were tested extensively and proven to be highly effective in improving situational awareness and operator-depot communication.

The Pedestrian Detection Camera helps identify and alert operators to human movement around the vehicle, reducing the risk of collisions in busy yards and warehouses.
The Digital Thumbs Up system provides a clear, visual communication tool between pedestrians and operators, ensuring mutual acknowledgment before movement begins — a key element in preventing accidents due to miscommunication.

Implementation

Following successful trials, FTC was officially selected as the preferred safety systems provider for the JCB Teletruk range. The products are now available as optional extras to JCB’s dealer network and are being promoted via a professionally produced JCB safety video, which showcases the installation and operational benefits of the FTC systems.

This video serves as a central marketing and educational asset for JCB, designed to inform their global dealer network — spanning over 600 trucks and installations — about the new safety options now available.

A Trusted Partnership

FTC’s relationship with JCB extends beyond product supply. As the trusted installation partner for JCB, FTC is responsible for deploying these systems across the entire UK dealer network. Their experienced technicians ensure a seamless fit-out process, maintaining the high standards expected by JCB and its clients.

The Result

Thanks to the partnership with FTC, JCB can now confidently offer a tested, effective, and professional safety solution to its dealers and customers worldwide. The collaborative approach between the two companies ensures that Teletruk users benefit from enhanced protection and peace of mind.

FTC selected as JCB’s preferred supplier for pedestrian safety systems after extensive comparative testing.
Integration of FTC’s safety technology into the JCB Teletruk range as an optional upgrade.
