SpotSee® TiltWatch® XTR – The Global Standard in Tilt Monitoring

Indisputable tilt detection for secure shipping. The TiltWatch XTR is the industry benchmark for monitoring goods that must remain upright. This single-use, tamper-proof indicator provides irrefutable evidence if a shipment has been tilted beyond an 80° angle, helping you hold carriers accountable and reduce transit damage.

Key Features:

• Binary Activation: The indicator window turns from white to bright red at precisely 80°, providing a clear pass/fail status.
• Vibration-Proof: Advanced engineering ensures the unit ignores normal road or sea vibrations, preventing false activations.
• Tamper-Proof: Once activated, the chemical change is permanent and irreversible, providing a secure audit trail.
• Moisture Resistant: Designed to withstand humid export conditions without affecting accuracy.

Technical Handling & FAQ

Where is the best place to mount a tilt indicator?
Always mount the indicator on a rigid part of the packaging, such as the bottom corner of a crate or the heavy-duty side-wall of a carton. This ensures the reading reflects the actual movement of the cargo rather than packaging flex.

How many units come in a pack?
Stuck For® supplies TiltWatch XTR in 10 Packs for small-scale projects and 100 Packs (including companion labels) for full-scale industrial use.

What is the shelf life?
As an authorised SpotSee® distributor, we supply factory-fresh units. TiltWatch XTR has an indefinite shelf life if stored in dry conditions at room temperature before the activation pin is removed.

TiltWatch® XTR – Frequently Asked Questions

What does TiltWatch XTR detect?

TiltWatch XTR detects when a shipment has been tilted beyond 80°. If the package is tipped, inverted, or laid on its side, the indicator turns bright red to show a tilt event occurred.

How does TiltWatch XTR work?

The device contains a liquid-based mechanism that moves when the package exceeds the allowed tilt angle. Once activated, the colour change is permanent and cannot be reset.

Does TiltWatch XTR detect vibration or shock?

No. TiltWatch XTR is designed exclusively for tilt/orientation monitoring. It ignores normal vibration and should be paired with ShockWatch 2 if impact monitoring is required.

Where should TiltWatch XTR be mounted?

Mount the indicator on a rigid, vertical surface such as a crate corner or reinforced carton wall. Avoid flexible packaging surfaces, which can distort readings.

Does TiltWatch XTR deter mishandling?

Yes. The presence of a TiltWatch indicator significantly reduces the likelihood of a shipment being tilted or overturned, as handlers recognise the device and adjust behaviour accordingly.

What types of goods require tilt monitoring?

TiltWatch XTR is ideal for appliances, machinery, medical equipment, glass panels, electronics, and any product that must remain upright during transit.

Is TiltWatch XTR single-use?

Yes. Once activated, the indicator permanently changes colour, providing a tamper-evident record of tilt events.
