Xwatch Safety Solutions, a leading provider of advanced height and slew systems, is proud to announce that its partnership with Hitachi Construction Machinery UK (HCMUK), a leading OEM, continues to grow. Over the course of this relationship, Xwatch has supplied HCMUK with more than 200 Xwatch Safety Systems, including the market leading XW4 height and slew systems, and the comprehensive XW5 units which also offer a Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI).
The alliance, which began in 2021, has seen the two industry powerhouses collaborate to integrate telematics into their solution, setting a new benchmark for real time reporting, safety and machine communication in the construction sector. Xwatch's innovative system has enabled Hitachi to integrate CTFleet Link®, HCMUK’s mixed-fleet telematics management system, creating an unrivalled telematics solution.
By working collaboratively with Xwatch, HCMUK's CTFleet Link® offers the unique capability of delivering data into the CTFleet Link® portal from any Xwatch Safety Solutions system fitted to the machine when paired with HCMUK's flagship CTFleet Link® telematics hardware.
Stephen Creaser, Director of Product Support at HCMUK, expressed his satisfaction with the Xwatch systems: "Safety is at the heart of everything we do at Hitachi Construction Machinery UK. The Xwatch systems' reliability, and the CTFleet Link® integration, aligns perfectly with our commitment to safety while providing the customer with an industry leading solution. The successful partnership has seen a collaborative approach to installing the Xwatch systems on our range of hydraulic excavators at our HCT facility and in the field. The competency and professionalism of our HCT engineers, along with the Xwatch installers have been pivotal in achieving this."
Dan Leaney, Xwatch Safety Solutions Sales and Operations Director, also shared his enthusiasm: "We're delighted to have HCMUK as our OEM partners. It's partnerships like these that drive innovation and elevate safety standards in the industry. We're greatly looking forward to our future collaborations."
