Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring the stability of a construction machine are provided. A gyroscope is configured to detect an angle of inclination of the construction machine relative to a vertical axis and generate an inclination signal representative thereof. A processor in operable communication with the gyroscope is configured to receive the inclination angle and generate a warning signal when the angle of inclination exceeds a predetermined threshold. An alarm device in operable communication with the processor is configured to generate an alarm to indicate to a user of the construction machine when the angle of inclination has exceeded the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a container is disclosed. The method involves recording a plurality of forces experienced by the container with an electronic detection device and storing each recorded experience from the electronic detection device as tracking data, the tracking data comprising a corresponding date and time of occurrence. Based on the tracking data, the method determines when the container is exposed to a predetermined amount of excessive force.
