Tipper stability

The new T.S Inclinometer, which has recently been launched assists with the prevention of vehicles and trailers overturning.

The T.S. Inclinometer

The product acts like an electronic spirit level and changes the data into numeric format for the driver to read. A sensor is mounted on the chassis and measures the camber of the present ground standing. The Safe Tipping Angle is initially set by the manager and cannot be altered unless a special key is used. The Inclinometer must be switched on before the tipping procedure can be commenced. Should the present ground standing be ‘equal to or greater than’ the Safe Tipping Angle, the alarm will sound in the drivers cab, and at the rear of the trailer, and prevent the tipping operation from continuing.

It is this function that makes the T.S. Inclinometer unique, and will prevent drivers from making wrong decisions or being intimidated into making potential overturn disasters. Should the camber be within the scope of the Safe Tipping Angle, then the T.S. Inclinometer will continue to monitor the whole tipping operation, advising the driver and any nearby pedestrians throughout, readily waiting to stop the operation should the safety standard setting be breached.

The T.S. Inclinometer has many other health and safety factors built in.
