Chris Matthew, Head of Business Strategy at Flannery Plant Hire, shared why Xwatch is their go-to supplier for height, slew, and RCI systems. He remarked, “Having tried various systems before, the introduction to Xwatch’s offerings made it clear that they were crafted to meet the diverse needs of today’s construction site excavators. Notably, they offer simplicity for the operator. We aim to provide an RCI that ensures operator safety and delivers ample information without causing distractions. The Xwatch system fulfills these requirements effectively.”
The innovative 3D avoidance safety solution first tested and adopted by Flannery Plant Hire, was developed in partnership with Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, and Xwatch Safety Solutions. This system, which has received accolades for its contribution to improving safety and well-being on construction sites, features an advanced design that allows the creation or importation of 3D avoidance zones, both above and below ground, directly into the Leica Geosystems MC1 3D machine control software.
Molson Group, the supplier of Kobelco excavators to Flannery and an approved Xwatch partner, has collaborated with Xwatch since its inception. They find Xwatch systems to be reliable and user-friendly, offering compatibility with telematics, GPS, and proximity warning systems.
James Dodkins, Group Marketing Manager at Molson Group, stated, “Molson is committed to innovation, providing our customers with the latest machinery technology. This includes working with preferred partners like Xwatch – our strong collaboration is bolstered by a dependable system and outstanding post-sale service, which is why we recommend Xwatch to our clients.”
Dan Leaney, Xwatch’s Director of Sales and Operations, mentioned, “Xwatch units have been successfully fitted, tested, and approved for use on the majority of the UK’s largest infrastructure projects. An increasing number of clients now specify Xwatch as their chosen safety system supplier. The partnership between Flannery, Molson, and Xwatch is ideal, as safety is the paramount concern for all of us.”
