Series:
ShockWatch

ShockWatch® Tilt Indicators detect and record unacceptable tilting of goods that must remain upright. Removal of the adhesive backing activates the devices. Once applied to the shipping container, the product cannot be tipped without indisputable evidence of mishandling. TiltWatch® XTR and TiltWatch® Plus are reliable and economical solutions to prevent damage to goods in transit.

TiltWatch XTR: This indicator turns red if the product it is affixed to is tilted or completely upended-but remains unaffected by movement due to normal handling conditions and aircraft takeoffs.

TiltWatch Plus: This indicator provides 360° monitoring – indicating the exact angle of tilt or whether complete overturn occurs.

Please read the datasheet for more information.
