A versatile and adaptable height and slew monitoring system

Series 2HS+

Height and slew monitoring for excavators

The Series 2HS+ is an intelligent height and slew monitoring system, designed to maximise safety and productivity in confined areas.

The system is a practical and effective way of monitoring and controlling the working height and rotation of machinery to ensure safe operation on site. It enables machine the operator or site manager to set safe working limits for heavy machinery, ensuring site hazards or risks are avoided.

The Series 2HS+ is fully approved by Network Rail as a low and high performance movement limiting device (MLD).

How does it work?

The Series 2HS+ combines an easy-to-use interface with high accuracy sensors and GKD’s proven safety software.

The system notifies the machine operator when the machine is approaching and breaching a set limit. An external audio alarm is activated when reaching the limit. An optional intelligent motion-cut prevents limitation infringements and allows only safe movement.

Suitable for use on tracked or wheeled excavators, backhoe loaders and other articulated boom machines.

Suitable for high or low performance operations

If you are undertaking Adjacent Line Open (ALO) or Overhead Line Equipment (OLE) operations and need to control height and slew, then the Series 2HS is an ideal system for you.

The Series 2HS+ has achieved Network Rail approval as both a low and high performance movement limiting device, which means it can be used up to 300mm from the rail running edge.

The system also has additional safety features, such as a remote hydraulic shut off and a steering lock.

Key features

The Series 2HS+ has numerous features that make it the best-in-class height and slew limiting system. These include:

Parallel or multipoint virtual walls
Dig mode and dig depth indication
Fully integrated realtime data logging
Full colour graphical touch screen display
Advanced integrated diagnostics
Dial in or manually set height and slew limits

Dig mode and virtual walls

The Series 2HS+ offers the additional advantage of monitoring and setting dig depth limits, allow operators to increase their digging accuracy. This supports a more efficient approach of dig once, move once.

The system also has the unique flexibility of parallel or multipoint virtual walls.

This is ideal for working in confined surroundings or close to open traffic lanes, and when combined with height limits for working under overhead obstructions. Our technology ensures rotation and height limits are anticipated and not exceeded.

Display features

The system has a full colour, graphical touch screen display with interactive menu screens for easy selection and setting of features.

Information shown on the display includes:

Current tool height and radius
Slew position in degrees
Height and slew limits set
Motion cuts applied
