Tilt sensor

[Mogman]

I’ve had a sniff around on line but can’t seem to find what lm looking for
I want a sensor that fixes to a cargo carriage on the Telehandler that will show me in the cab if the cargo carriage is level front to back
Was wondering if any of you tech chaps would know of such a thing I can hard wire into the cab with some sort of display

They are used on augers. Might be a good place to start looking.

Being a telehandler makes it awkward with trying to get a wire up and down the boom, wireless might be a better option if available

Just fit a inclinometer to the carriage as you have on the boom?

On my crane (HMF), there is a tilt sensor on the second boom, for the overload system, maybe another option of finding something.

Try a

Wixey Smart Angle Gauge Inclinometer with Bluetooth Connectivity​

you can get them off Amazon. A magnet angle gauge you can fix to the cage then use the blue tooth on your phone to see the angle. Also has sound if you want so you don’t have to watch the screen. Easy to use and can be removed when you don’t need it. Blue tooth much better then wires when booming in and out.

Before I had Idig system I had it on a grading beam to grade 34 degree slopes. It doesn’t have enough damping for grading really, but was a lot better than constantly stoping and getting out to check the slope. Very handy bit of kit.

I'll be honest it looks like one of those things you look at and think i have no real use for that but i might just have to have one Actually can think of several uses tbh.

Handy thing being Bluetooth, I use the angle finder on my iPhone all the time

this is a screen shot on my phone so can turn on the unit and zero it from the cab and the unit itself has a magnetic base it also speaks so tells you the angle well impressed

Just ordered one of these to use on the post knocker and the auger. Might be handy for the plumb that I can't see from the seat.
