Maximise your visit: add safety & productivity upgrades with your wet-kit fit

One workshop stop. Multiple gains.

Here’s a question that’ll save you time and money: when your truck’s already in for a wet-kit install, why not sort everything else whilst it’s there?

Downtime is the enemy of every operation. Your truck sat in a workshop isn’t earning, and booking multiple visits for different jobs just multiplies the pain. The smart move? Bundle the work and get everything done in one go.

Making the most of workshop time

We see it all the time – operators who get their wet kit fitted, then come back a month later for cameras, then again for strobes, then yet again for catwalks. By the fourth visit, they’ve spent more on downtime than they would have saved splitting the jobs.

That’s why we handle these fitments in-house. Everything arrives aligned, properly wired, and working together the way it should. No crossed wires, no “that’ll have to do” compromises, and definitely no return visits to sort out issues between different installers.

Upgrades worth considering

Catwalks make coupling and access genuinely safer – not just tick-box safer. We do reverse-punch or chequer-plate options with paint finishes to match your brand. Because if you’re going to add a safety kit, it might as well look the part.

Strobes and beacons give you proper high-visibility warning for yard work and low-speed manoeuvres. Low-profile options keep the smart look, and tidy cab switching means drivers don’t need an engineering degree to operate them.

Camera kits actually reduce blind spots rather than just adding more screens to ignore. Nearside and rear coverage with auto-triggered views on reverse or indicator operation. Add DVR capability and you’ve got proper incident evidence, not just pretty pictures.

Onboard weight systems give live axle and gross readings to help avoid overloads. Your tyres, brakes, and O-licence will thank you. Plus drivers get real-time feedback instead of guessing whether they’re legal.

Why bundling makes sense

Less downtime. One booking, one sign-off, one period off the road. Your accountant will appreciate this more than you might expect.

Cleaner integration. When we’re planning brackets, wiring, and harness runs together, everything works better. No afterthoughts, no “where can we squeeze this in” moments.

Single accountability. One team responsible for the whole job – fit, finish, and making sure it all works properly. When something needs sorting, you’ve got one number to ring.

Getting it sorted

The best time to add these upgrades is when you’re already planning workshop time. The second-best time is now, before you need them.

Different operations need different approaches. Urban delivery work benefits from cameras and weight systems. Highway operations might prioritise strobes and catwalks. Mixed operations often want the lot.

The key is thinking about what actually helps your drivers do their job better and safer, not just what looks good in the brochure.

Planning a wet-kit install? Ask us to price the combined job for catwalks, strobes, beacons, cameras, or onboard weighing. You’ll save time and end up with a cleaner build that actually works together.
