Specifications

Stay connected:
The signal between machines with line-of-sight is strong and monitored for signal loss, so you know when you are getting live data.

Built for industry conditions:
IP65 water- and dust-resistant with a fully enclosed design. Built to handle mud, rain, and forestry impact.

Smart battery protection:
An onboard module cuts power before the battery runs too low, extending battery life and preventing deep discharge.

Safer sites:
Eliminates the risk of the monitor being forgotten about after being moved, improving safety in high-risk zones.

No setup headaches:
Pre-programmed to your machine. Just install it once, power it on, and it connects to the yarder automatically.

Off-grid capable:
The system is self-sustainable with solar charging for the tailhold's bateries or spec with a standalone system and it can run from its onboard batteries.
