DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
Since you can`t be present with your products during the entire shipping
process, ShockWatch continues to perfect its line of shipping and handling
monitors so you know your products are receiving the care they deserve.
ShockWatch - the global leader in developing and manufacturing damage prevention
products - adds the TiltWatch® XTR to its line of the most-trusted
damage-prevention products on the planet. The newest tilt indicator holds a
patented design that eliminates false activations from random vibration. For
items like large computer rack systems, appliances and glass that cannot be
tilted during transport, TiltWatch XTR negates the effects of small bumps that
might trigger the indicator and delivers the most accurate reading on the
market. 

"Concealed damage resulting from unacceptable tilting of electronic products can
be extremely frustrating for manufacturers; the TiltWatch XTR and all of
ShockWatch`s damage-prevention indicators deliver immediate accountability to
the shippers and handlers of your most precious goods," said Angela Kerr,
shipping and handling product manager at ShockWatch. "Upon arrival, the product
might appear to be in perfect condition, but tilting the product along the
transportation journey may have damaged delicate components and connections
internally. Before anyone realizes there is an issue, the product is installed
only to discover that there is a malfunction in operation. Diagnosing and
repairing the damage means that time and money are being wasted, and there is
damage to the manufacturer`s quality reputation. With ShockWatch`s TiltWatch
XTR, you have a simple, cost-effective and highly effective solution that helps
you avoid all of these hassles." 

Like the TiltWatch and TiltWatch Plus, the TiltWatch XTR detects and records
when unacceptable tilt has occurred. These indicators allow manufacturers to
ship fragile, sensitive and calibrated devices with an increased confidence that
their products will arrive safely. All ShockWatch damage prevention products
alert handlers that special care is required for certain shipments. When
combined with ShockWatch companion labels, the TiltWatch indicators create a
highly visible deterrent to mishandling. 

"While shipping companies can assure you the best care for your sensitive
products, ShockWatch and its shipping and handling monitors provide you with
peace of mind that those shipping companies just can`t provide," Kerr said.
"When you can`t be there every step of the way, ShockWatch can."
