Grote unveils breakthrough safety technologies
Every year, roadside and rear-end collisions remain among the most dangerous and costly threats to commercial fleets.
That’s why Grote Industries debuted two innovations designed to address these risks—H.E.L.P DeliverSafe and the 4SEE Rear-Collision Warning System—during American Trucking Associations’ 2025 Management Conference and Exhibition, where the company showed fleets how these new technologies deliver life-saving situational awareness and visibility through conspicuous lighting, actionable alerts, and the reliability of a wired digital architecture.
“Safety is the cornerstone of everything we do at Grote Industries,” Dominic Grote, Grote president and CEO, said in a news release. “The need for advanced commercial vehicle safety solutions is growing as fleets face tighter FMCSA expectations and the very real risks of roadside and rear-end collisions. H.E.L.P. DeliverSafe and the 4SEE Rear-Collision Warning System directly address those risks, giving fleets practical, proactive tools that help protect drivers and reduce crashes.”
Raising the standard for roadside protection
H.E.L.P. DeliverSafe, developed in collaboration with Emergency Safety Solutions, is available in 4SEE and as a stand-alone smart trailer product. The system helps prevent crashes by warning oncoming motorists of dangers on the road ahead with digital notification and highly conspicuous lighting.
H.E.L.P. Lighting Alerts improve vehicle visibility by using a regulatory-compliant, behaviorally optimized rapid flash pattern to raise awareness, including additional lights to create visual contrast, and synchronized flashing to clearly outline the vehicle. H.E.L.P. Digital Alerts extend this protection by delivering real-time notifications with exact location directly to oncoming drivers’ navigation apps and in-cab displays, Grote reported.
By making trailers far more visible in high-risk situations, this system helps reduce roadside and secondary collisions, which are often the deadliest type of crash.
Preventing the most common crash
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, rear-end collisions account for 29% of all commercial vehicle accidents and cost fleets millions of dollars annually in downtime, litigation, and injury claims. Grote’s new 4SEE Rear-Collision Warning System uses advanced data processing, a rear radar unit, and an auxiliary strobe lamp to proactively warn following motorists when they are approaching too quickly, helping mitigate risk and prevent collisions before impact.
Built on Grote’s proprietary 4SEE Digital Harness, the system ensures secure, wired data transfer, lamp–specific light-out detection, and the ability to receive over-the-air updates, providing fleets with a future-ready safety platform.
“Every advancement we are introducing reflects our commitment to keeping fleets and drivers safer on the road,” said Andrew Grose, vice President of Grote Networks. “From roadside visibility with H.E.L.P. DeliverSafe to collision prevention through our rear collision warning system and smarter digital tools that give fleets real-time insights, these innovations are designed to help operators reduce risk and create safer conditions for everyone who shares the road.”
