TiltWatch Tilt Indicators for Cargo Monitoring | LC KOLOR
A tilt indicator shows whether a shipment that must remain upright has been laid on its side, tilted excessively or tipped over. It is used for instruments, electronics, glass, furniture, works of art and machinery transported by road, sea and air.
TiltWatch XTR provides a simple signal when the tilt angle threshold is exceeded, TiltWatch Plus shows the direction and degree of tilt, and QR and RFID versions support digital checks at goods receipt. The indicator does not physically protect the cargo; it documents how it has been handled.

Questions to consider before choosing
Frequently asked questions
Does a tilt indicator respond to normal transport vibration?
The mechanism is designed to detect tilting or tipping over, rather than normal vibration. The activation threshold and tolerance depend on the variant.
Where should a TiltWatch indicator be applied?
Mount the indicator on a vertical, clearly visible surface of the packaging, following the instructions. The position should allow easy inspection before accepting the shipment.
