If your goal is to reduce workplace accidents, comply with WorkSafe NZ requirements, and improve employee safety, ShockWatch NZ can help. As the exclusive New Zealand distributor for HITNOT®, we provide expert local support for this globally trusted collision avoidance and pedestrian detection system.
HITNOT® technology was originally developed as HazardAvert®, designed to save lives in the high-risk environment of underground mining. In 2005, it became the first system approved by MSHA. Using low-frequency magnetic fields, HITNOT® can detect people and equipment through walls, racking, and blind corners—ensuring visibility where traditional line-of-sight systems fall short.
Unlike RFID-based solutions, HITNOT® uses a stable magnetic field that eliminates false alerts caused by signal multipath interference. This allows multiple machines and pedestrians to operate safely in shared spaces without compromising productivity.
Safer Workplaces, Smarter Detection
In your facility, HITNOT® can help prevent collisions involving forklifts, personnel, mobile plant, and other critical equipment.
Simple Installation
A compact magnetic field generator mounts easily on any type of mobile machinery.
Operates on a clean 12V or 24V ignition power supply.
Requires no calibration and performs reliably in warehouses, factories, and industrial environments.
Wearable Personal Protection
Personal Alarm Devices (PADs) are worn by staff—clipped to a belt, vest, or uniform.
PADs are active every 15 seconds and feature flashing lights to confirm operational status.
Low battery alerts are sent to both the user and cloud-based monitoring systems.
Intelligent Operation with Real-Time Alerts
HITNOT® creates a 360-degree detection zone around people and machines using pulsed magnetic fields that pass through walls and physical obstructions—unlike radio-based systems that can be blocked or distorted.
The system delivers clear audible and visual alerts to both equipment operators and pedestrians when a risk is detected.
Two configurable alert zones:
Warning Zone – Advance notice of proximity
Danger Zone – Immediate alert for critical risk
Detection ranges can be quickly adjusted using a handheld configuration tool.
Built-in fail-safe mechanisms notify operators if a generator is not functioning properly, ensuring no unit is left inactive.
All alerts are triggered via multiple time-verified handshakes, virtually eliminating false positives.
HITNOT® is the next generation of workplace safety technology—engineered for precision, reliability, and real-world industrial conditions. Combined with expert support from ShockWatch NZ, it’s the smart solution for reducing risk and protecting your team.

Hit-Not Pedestrian Monitoring System
The HitNot® Proximity Monitoring system is an advanced warehouse and pedestrian monitoring system, using magnetic field technology.
HitNot gives pedestrians and forklift operators individual and unmistakable warnings when they are in close proximity to Machinery or Personnel.
Expandable and Adaptable to Suit Your Workplace
HITNOT® is a scalable collision avoidance and pedestrian detection system designed to adapt to your specific operational needs. With a modular architecture built around Machine-Mounted Generators (MFGs) and Personal Alarm Devices (PADs), the system can easily integrate a range of auxiliary devices and smart features as your requirements evolve.
Trusted in industries worldwide—including automotive, steel, glass, building materials, ports, and logistics—HITNOT® offers unmatched flexibility in challenging environments.
Intelligent Features to Maximise Safety
Silencing Solutions – Automatically disable detection in designated areas or while seated in a vehicle using cab silencers, preventing unnecessary alerts without compromising safety.
Remote Event Monitoring – Built-in cloud connectivity for real-time data tracking, including proximity alerts, device status, and user activity.
Access Control – Prevent unauthorised personnel or vehicles from entering protected areas by requiring active PADs for entry.
Area Control – Enhance safety at congested intersections or high-traffic zones.
Structure Monitoring – Alert forklift operators as they approach fixed hazards or structures.
Test Stations – Easily verify PAD and MFG functionality at the start of each shift, ensuring full system readiness.
Speed Control Integration – Use HITNOT® signals to automatically slow down vehicles in critical zones.
A System Without Limits
There are no limits to the number of Generators or PADs that can be used on-site—each pedestrian receives individual alerts based on their location and level of risk. Unlike traditional systems, there are no signal conflicts, and detection ranges can be precisely configured to suit your facility layout.
All HITNOT® components are cross-compatible, meaning you can expand your system at any time without needing a full hardware replacement. Whether you need full-site protection or targeted zone control, HITNOT® grows with your operation.
