Zip’s AW Direct Introduces SafeAll Ping for Enhanced Roadside Safety

Zip’s AW Direct has announced that the SafeAll Ping system will now come standard on all Zip’s Choice and Zip’s Custom-Built trucks moving forward.

The SafeAll Ping is an advanced road warning system designed to enhance roadside awareness and reduce risks for first responders, tow operators and emergency personnel.

Hard-wired to a truck switch, such as the warning light switch, the Ping automatically transmits a half-mile alert to notify passing motorists of a roadside emergency or work zone ahead. This is achieved through integration with the Waze app, which has over 150 million users. Motorists receive real-time alerts via their smartphone or dashboard display, helping them react accordingly.

For added visibility and direction, the SafeAll Ping can also be paired with the SafeAll Traffic Commander, which provides motorists with clear, illuminated instructions such as “SLOW DOWN” or “MOVE LEFT” in addition to the advance warning — further enhancing roadside safety.

The SafeAll Ping system will now be seamlessly integrated into the base price of all Zip’s Choice and Zip’s Custom-Built units. Once equipped, users will enjoy unlimited access to the system, eliminating ongoing costs while ensuring continuous protection on the road.

David Rottinghaus, executive vice president at Zip’s AW Direct, emphasizes the company’s commitment to roadside safety. “Zip’s has always been a strong advocate for roadside safety, and the Ping provides an extra layer of protection for our customers.” He also highlights the product’s flexibility. “With a one-time purchase, the Ping can be easily transferred between vehicles, giving you complete control over your safety measures whenever and wherever you need them.”
