Tilt indicators such as Tiltwatch Plus and Tiltwatch XTR allow you to monitor tilt, angle and loss of upright position of your goods during shipping and transport. They perfectly complement other systems such as humidity indicators, temperature indicators, time indicators and impact indicators, providing full traceability of handling conditions.
Use Tiltwatch Plus and Tiltwatch XTR tilt indicators to ensure that your equipment, machinery and sensitive products remain in the correct position and to obtain clear evidence in case of improper handling.
Available tilt indicators
TiltWatch Plus
TiltWatch Plus is a ShockWatch tilt indicator designed to detect and record any improper inclination during transport. It shows whether the package tilted to the left or right, indicates the approximate angle, and reveals if a full overturn has occurred. Ideal for machinery, electrical cabinets, electronic equipment, hazardous-material containers and products requiring strict upright positioning.
Tiltwatch XTR
Tiltwatch XTR detects excessive tilt or full overturn. Once the backing adhesive is removed, the device activates and adheres to the packaging. If the package exceeds the allowed angle or overturns, the window changes colour, leaving permanent evidence. It does not activate under normal transport vibration, making it extremely reliable for demanding and international logistics.
Benefits of tilt indicators
Tilt indicators help reduce damage, claims and costs associated with improper handling. Their irreversible visual signal discourages operators from tilting or overturning the goods, improves handling care and helps determine responsibility in case of incidents. They are especially useful in industrial logistics, medical devices, electronic components, artwork and high-value goods.
Combined with humidity indicators, temperature indicators, time indicators and impact indicators, they provide complete control of transport conditions: tilt, shocks, vibrations and environmental exposure. This information is essential for audits, quality certifications and demonstrating compliance with agreed transport conditions.
Technical characteristics
- Automatic activation when adhesive backing is removed and applied to packaging.
- Detection of tilt, loss of upright position and complete overturn.
- Irreversible visual indication via colour change.
- Models designed for single-axis inclination control.
- Operation without energy, maintenance or calibration.
- Suitable for national and international shipments with long transit times.
- Ideal for machinery, electrical cabinets, containers, artwork and sensitive equipment.
If you need to integrate tilt indicators with data-logging systems, you can combine them with our data loggers and impact-monitoring solutions for full shipment traceability.
