Controlling the slew of any machine used in construction is an important part of the safety and productivity equation. This is a part of the site safety puzzle that is often overlooked by contractors and their operators but can be simply addressed with the right equipment.

RCI is a rated capacity indicator that ensures the safe operation of lifting equipment throughout the machine’s working envelope. The system continually measures the height, radius and load on the machine, allowing operators to work at the maximum lifting capacity whilst remaining within the machine’s safe working load (SWL).

In addition to the height limiting function, the XW series provides an accurate height value to the bucket pin and includes a basic dig depth indicator to assist excavator operators to dig to exact levels.

A very useful feature when pulling trenches, flat pads and footings it can eliminate the need for external checking.
