Warwick Ward (Machinery) Ltd has recently fitted Xwatch Safety Solutions part of Hexagon XW1 height restriction systems on two Case CX130E machines, both heading to work on drainage projects. Xwatch engineer Billy Hughes completed the installations. Robert Hughes, Senior Sales Manager (North West and Midlands) at Warwick Ward (Machinery) Ltd, placed the order. When asked why he chose Xwatch, Robert said:
“We chose Xwatch for their customer-first approach, which aligns with our commitment to being customer-driven. The support we receive is outstanding, and the Xwatch system quality is second to none. Xwatch offers a cost-efficient solution that doesn’t compromise performance. Our customers appreciate the intuitive and simple interface, making the system incredibly user-friendly—crucial in ensuring operators can work efficiently and safely. Xwatch is the obvious choice regarding height control, particularly in complex environments like drainage projects, where a machine may be working under powerlines and trees, where precision and reliability are key. We’ve specified products from the Xwatch suite of safety systems, including height, slew and RCI, many times, and the systems have consistently delivered exactly what we need for projects like these.”
The XW1 system can be configured to work on various articulated hydraulic plants. Height limitation is controlled using proportional soft-stop hydraulic valves, ensuring precise and repeatable performance without detriment to the machine. This makes it ideal for tasks that require careful height management, such as working under powerlines or around trees. The system is fail-safe and fully automatic, with function selection never more than two key presses away, giving operators the confidence to focus on the job without worrying about operational complexity.
