Shockwatch/Tiltwatch >> Tiltwatch™


Tiltwatch
The best way to monitor shipments that must remain upright.

Today’s “just-in-time” zero defect delivery requirements demand shipping controls and monitors beyond the passive printed warnings on the sides of containers.  The Tiltwatch is the best choice for goods that must remain upright to ensure intact delivery.  Tiltwatch is “carrier friendly” and guarantees 100% accuracy.  It’s a reliable and affordable solution to monitoring and controlling the shipping attitude of heavy machinery, large computers, electronic panels, cut flowers, batteries, liquids and a host of other products.

Fifteen years of exposure through the transportation corridors of the world guarantees instant recognition.

A precision manufacturing process assures consistent quality and performance

Simple & foolproof

Tiltwatch is a state-of-the-art monitor that will indicate red if your container has been tilted on its side or completely upended.  Normal movement or road shock will have no effect.  Tiltwatch will not activate due to acute take-off angles in aircraft.  It’s fair to you and your carriers.

Moistureproof

The Tiltwatch incorporates a vacuum seal that eliminates any effects of humidity or temperature changes.

Tamperproof

The self-stick backing utizes the most aggressive 5 mil acrylic adhesive available assuring a permanent bond on all but the roughest containers.  When used with its 5” x 8” companion label, the contact area is increased (along with its visibility), which forms a more permanent bond to the host container.

Non-resettable/Auto-Arm feature
Tiltwatch features a simple one step application.  Removing the adhesive backing automatically arms the device.  Once activated the Tiltwatch cannot be reset.  It is impossible to disarm the Tiltwatch once it has been applied.  This is because the arming mechanism is secured facing the shipment.  Other tilt indicators that arm from the front or side are subject to tampering and environmental conditions.

The Tiltwatch program is prevention – pure and simple
A key element to the success of Tiltwatch is its simplicity.  The program includes the Tiltwatch indicator and an alert sticker to be affixed to the bill of lading.  It cautions the carrier and consignee that your shipment is being monitored.  One alert sticker is included free with each Tiltwatch.

NOTICE
If TILTWATCH is red ALWAYS accept shipment.  Make note on bill of lading. Inspect for damage immediately.
