Xwatch, known for its innovative safety solutions in the construction sector, also offers solutions for the Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs) sector, and continues to demonstrate its commitment to safety. Central to this commitment is the Xwatch XW MEWP system, an established and respected feature in the industry, known for its robustness and reliability in enhancing safety on a variety of powered access equipment.
Readypower, a leader in providing plant and equipment to the construction and railway industries in the UK, boasts a remarkable fleet, including one of the largest collection of rail MEWPs in the UK. The company's acquisition of TRS (Total Rail Solutions) in October of this year, has further bolstered its offerings, now featuring the largest fleet of 400kg basket payload MEWPs. Their extensive range includes 47 Manitou ART17, 40 ProMax Evo, and 4 Genie 20m Reach units.
The Xwatch system, an integral part of Readypower's safety arsenal, is fitted to most of its fleet. This system plays a crucial role in enabling the machinery to operate under ALO (Adjacent Line Open) conditions, showcasing an advancement from the traditional 180 slew lock mechanism.
Jemma Dycer-Hopkins Sales and Operations Manager at Xwatch, emphasised the importance of safety in MEWPs, especially when operating in railway environments. "Our collaboration with Readypower is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to safety. The railway sector presents unique challenges, and the Xwatch system ensures that these are met with the highest standards of safety and operational efficiency," said Dycer-Hopkins.
This partnership highlights a shared dedication to safety and efficiency, with Xwatch's XW MEWP system playing a pivotal role in setting safety benchmarks in the MEWP sector. The combination of Readypower's impressive fleet and Xwatch's safety expertise highlights a collective pursuit of excellence, ensuring that safety remains at the forefront in challenging environments like railways.
