BOLTON-BASED Transport Support's TS Inclinometer could help a tipper driver trying to work out whether it is safe to tip on uneven ground. A sensor measures the angle of the vehicle prior to discharging the load and data is displayed in the tractor's cab.
Tipper settings can vary from 0-8*; they can be adjusted in the factory or by the operator.
The device is intended to prevent tipping taking place if a pre-determined safe angle is unobtainable, thereby helping to guide the driver in any on-the-spot risk assessment.
The TS Inclinometer kit costs £700, or £870 including fitting. Contact: 01204 529265.
