TiltWatch Tilt Indicators
TiltWatch indicators affix directly to your products or packaging to detect and record unacceptable tip events for goods that must remain upright.
TiltWatch indicators are simple to use, cost-effective, and highly effective deterrents to product mishandling.
Reduce Mishandling & Build Customer Confidence
TiltWatch become highly visible deterrents to product mishandling. In the event of mishandling, these tamperproof tip sensors deliver indisputable evidence of tilt events, ensuring a chain of accountability for all product handlers. Tiltwatch promotes safe handling from dock to dock, increasing customer satisfaction.
Low-Cost Tilt Sensor Solutions
We offer two Tiltwatch options:
TiltWatch XTR: Turns red if the package it is affixed to is tilted past 80° or is completely up-ended. However, it remains unaffected by movement due to normal handling conditions.
TiltWatch Plus: Provides 360° monitoring. It indicates the exact angle of tilt or whether complete overturn has occurred.
Tiltwatch® Xtr
TiltWatch® XTR turns red if the container it is affixed to tips on its side. TiltWatch will not activate under normal handling conditions or with random vibration. The TiltWatch XTR is a single-use tip indicator used to monitor goods that must remain upright to ensure intact delivery. The device continually monitors shipments and does not activate until it is at an 80 angle +/-5% from vertical. The TiltWatch XTR is “carrier friendly” so no false activation will occur with normal handling or vibration. Even more important than its accuracy, however, is the inherent and easy-to-interpret message: Don’t tip this shipment over.

Tiltwatch® Plus
TiltWatch® Plus provides 360° monitoring by incorporating three separate tip sensors — two that determine the angle and direction of tilt (left or right), and one that indicates whether a complete overturn has occurred.
TiltWatch Plus is attached directly to a package’s exterior surface to monitor shipments. Applied in the same fashion as a ‘peel and stick’ pressure-sensitive label, the TiltWatch Plus tip sensor has three separate registers in a single tilt indicator unit.
• Tilt left
• Tilt right
• Complete inversion (total overturn)
Together, the three registers of a TiltWatch Plus tilt indicator unit provide 360° tilt monitoring for the entire duration of shipping transit and an unalterable record of damaging excesses. The TiltWatch Plus will not activate during normal handling conditions, such as take-off angles.
