In this video we review the Giraffe G4 Wireless Overhead Collision Alert System!

The giraffe G4 is a wireless obstacle avoidance system that reads out the height of obstacles above the truck cab so that you know if you will clear it with your RV or load.  The system utilizes a sonar based unit mounted somewhere on the vehicle forward of the trailer.  This sonar unit reads the height to an overhead obstacle and sends its height via a wire to the in cab display that reads out the height to the driver.  

The intended use is to drive slowly to an obstacle you are not sure you will clear (say a gas station awning) and have the giraffe G4 read out the height prior to pulling any further forward.  An alarm can be set to sound if the height is less than that of your load so you know not to pull any further forward. 

Watch this video for our thoughts and review on the Giraffe G4.  Overall we really enjoy having it as it offers peace of mind for those situations you are not sure of the height.  We really like the large bright display, but the size is a bit large for installation in a pickup cab.  It also did not have any mounting options so we ended up using a velcro like material to stick it to the window.  Operation works smoothly , quickly and seems to be very accurate.  The product is very simple but works well and seems to be well built.
