Don’t Let Outdated Gas Detection Put Your Site at Risk
Upgrade to engine safety systems that detect hydrocarbons early and automatically shut down dangerous engine conditions
- Proactive automatic shutdown
- Hydrocarbon and LEL gas detection for diesel engines
- No bump gas or manual calibration required
Traditional Gas Monitoring Leaves Blind Spots
In hazardous environments, traditional gas monitors rely on static sensors positioned around the work site, but are only designed to detect gas if it reaches the sensor.
With hydrocarbons constantly shifting due to wind, temperature swings and site activity, dangerous gas concentrations can quickly build up outside of the monitored area.
ShockerEDGE is the first-of-its-kind approach to gas detection. Installed directly in the engine air intake, the ambient air is drawn toward the gas sensor. ShockerEDGE then analyzes the hydrocarbons entering the engine in real time and automatically alarms & shuts down the engine when dangerous gas levels are detected.
Don’t risk your team’s safety with detection gaps. Request a quote to see how ShockerEDGE can improve safety across your operation.
A Better Approach to Diesel Engine Safety
Gas Doesn’t Stay in One Place. Your Safety System Shouldn’t Either.
Traditional gas monitors rely on static area monitoring. But hydrocarbon gases move with wind, temperature, and environmental conditions, which can create gaps in detection.
ShockerEDGE takes a different approach. By monitoring the air drawn into the engine intake, it continuously analyzes the air the engine pulls in and can automatically shut down the engine before dangerous conditions develop.
- ❌ Tripod of fixed gas monitors
- ❌ Area monitoring only
- ❌ Calibration and bump gas required
- ❌ Limited detection coverage
- ❌ Requires separate shutdown devices
- ✅ Installed directly in the engine intake
- ✅ Continuous area + engine intake monitoring
- ✅ Automatic calibration every two seconds
- ✅ Detects hydrocarbons in intake air + environments
- ✅ ShockerEDGE is a shutdown device as well
- ✅ No docking stations
- ✅ Designed for all diesel engines and heavy equipment
- ✅ Molecular spectrometer technology
What Our Customers Are Saying
Thank you and your company for producing such an excellent product. We were very impressed by the fit and finish of the valves. Excellent design, easy to use, and they look great! We installed 11 of these so far on a fleet of different automotive and heavy duty trucks all without issues. The 2 year warranty is excellent peace of mind. Your support staff there at Headwind Solutions is also excellent and everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable.
I emailed the company before ordering product and had a quick response. I googled other products to compare, Headwind Solutions had features i was looking for. I follow up email came and i was asked to call to discuss my needs. I made the call and talked with Steve Podolski. Steve was not a pushy sales person but was concerned about getting me the right product for my unit. I ordered my kit and steve did what he could to get me the best deal he could.
Absolutely the best customer care I have seen in a long time had a little problem with my valve Steve got me all fixed up would recommend their product to anyone in the oilfield industry was very easy to install and even when I was stumped on the wiring called customer support and given excellent directions on how to solve the issue thanks again Steve for going above and beyond.
Approved Alternative to Positive Air Shutoff Valves
ShockerEDGE has received a five-year equivalency certificate from Transport Canada, allowing it to be used in place of a traditional positive air shutoff valve in certain applications. ShockerEDGE’s certification recognizes the system’s ability to detect hazardous gases early and prevent engine runaway or ignition events.
ShockerEDGE can operate:
- As a standalone engine shutdown safety system
- In conjunction with ShockerPASS positive air shutoff valve
- As part of a layered diesel engine safety strategy
