MAG 2000
Impact Monitoring Large Shipments and Freight Vehicles

The MAG 2000 is an unique concept in shock monitoring instruments. It is the result of over four years of design effort based on discussions with both customers and freight handlers.

Large Shipments
Simply attach the MAG 2000 to your and you have taken control of your shipment. From that point the MAG 2000 will detect any impacts, above the G level you select. Designed for a wide variety of installations, the MAG 2000 may be applied on anything from a wooden container or large pallet to the product itself.

Products may include:

  • Medical and Laboratory Equipment
  • Electronics
  • Production Robotics
  • Printing Equipment
  • Refrigeration Equipment
  • Main Frame Computers
  • Weaponry Systems
  • Furniture and Museum Pieces

Transportation Modes
The durability of the MAG 2000 allows for internal or external use, which also makes it ideal for use on vehicles such as trucks, rail cars, or aircraft.

In today's shipping environments, your cargo may be handled many different times and by many different modes of transportation. And although damage in transit can vary depending on the shipping method, packaging and weight of load, there are accepted proper handling standards.

For example, transporting products on railcars from 1 to 6 m.p.h. is considered a safe speed. Anything over that is considered rough handling. High impacts are almost certain to produce load shifts, burst dunnage bags and cause a variety of other damage problems; dents in sheet metal, crushed cores in paper rolls, compression of canned products and burst seals in tank cars.

The MAG 2000 program, when used on rail cars, aircraft, and trucks, can hand an element of control back to you.

Full implementation of a MAG 2000 monitoring program can serve to reliably enforce safe standards on every product you ship without high cost. Use the MAG 2000 to:

  • Control and implementation of zero-defect shipping programs.
  • Monitor of slack action activity.
  • Monitor for severe levels of sway.
  • Analyze specific routers and shippers.
  • Compare lading techniques.

What You Can Expect
The introduction of the MAG 2000 is an answer to the need among shippers and carriers for a monitoring device, accurate and inexpensive enough to equip 10 shipments or 10,000.

A dramatic reduction of damage and claims resulted when the sensor program was implemented on air and over the road freight. Now the MAG 2000 provides a positive situation for everyone involved in the distribution chain.

Companies all over the world are using the MAG 2000 to reduce damage levels on their products and equipment. Use the MAG 2000 to monitor:

Overall, the MAG 2000 helps build and maintain good carrier and customer relationships by increasing the out-of-box satisfaction level of your customers. It makes a quality statement about your product and your company.

Features and Benefits

  • Low Cost - just a few dollars per shipment/vehicle. The MAG unit is resettable, and therefore, in closed loop transportation, reusable
  • Easy To Understand - activation is immediate and definitive, needing no interpretation by specially trained personnel
  • Patented Rugged Design - built to withstand extremes in the roughest of environments
  • Tamper Proof - a unique key is needed to unlock each unit
  • Ease on Installation - peel the aggressive adhesive backing and apply. The MAG 2000 can also be secured onto the surface with screws, or mounted using a special bracket.

How the MAG 2000 Works
The MAG 2000 utilizes two Magnets, the bottom magnet held rigidly in place and an upper Magnet held in place by the mutual Magnetic field attraction.

When acceleration due to shock or vibration is strong enough to create a force greater than the Magnetic force, the upper Magnet is forced off its "home" position and appears in a new visible position within the device. The MAG 2000 also indicates the angle of impact by the position of the upper Magnet.

The G-activation level is factory set and available in a wide variety of settings from 1/2 to 25 G's. Selection guides are available upon request that will convert G-levels to MPH correlations.

 Product Selection Guide
When you are ready to select a MAG 2000 unit for your application, you will need to know the weight and dimensions of your shipment. For shipments weighing less than 400 pounds or shipments in an open loop system you may want to refer to the another product called the Shockwatch Label.
