The improved system from Xwatch offers greater safety

Xwatch says that its upgraded package will help boost safety onsite. The firm says that its new system is simpler, more intuitive and easier to adopt compared to its predecessor. Installation takes 30% less time and the new system is more adaptable and user-friendly, reducing downtime for plant hire companies and contractors.

The solution retains the capabilities of earlier version, including height and slew restriction, Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI), and the full suite of Xwatch safety features across the XW1, XW2, XW3, XW4, and XW5 models.

Improvements include the novel proportional motion control when driving electric over hydraulic valve blocks (pat. pending), a significant breakthrough in precision and efficiency. Graphics have been reworked, for a more visually friendly andintuitive monitor interface in various languages. The MK2 version is also telematics-ready for connected construction sites and is more compact, freeing up in-cab space.
