High-Accuracy On-Board Load Cell Systems For Straight Chassis Vehicles |
|
 |
Accurate and reliable payload measurement is an important element of profitability and operating safety bulk hauling. Whether for municipal, county, state or private operations, a PRECISIONLOADS on-board scale system allows optimum, safe and legal use of a truck's payload capacity-both for maximizing loads and preventing the liabilities of overloading.
No more Overweight Fines: The expense of operating overloaded is already prohibitive in many regions and is becoming a serious issue nationwide. Enforcement is increasing and penalties are becoming more costly.
Eliminate Legal Liabilities: The potential costs to a hauler from lawsuits resulting from an accident involving an overloaded truck can be severe.
Ensure Operating Safety: Overloaded trucks have significantly impaired braking distances and cornering abilities, and are more likely to experience premature failures of truck components.
Cut Maintenance Costs: Hauling legal payloads reduces maintenance expense on springs, brakes and tires, and increases the operating lifetime of the truck and body.
Increase Driver Efficiency: Our on-board scales give your drivers the assurance of hauling legal. With scales, drivers finish routes more efficiently and faster with full, legal loads.
Measure Load Increments: Use the system to accurately measure incremental on-loading (individual loads picked up on route, or batch mixtures), or material off-loaded during split deliveries or spreading. |

PRECISIONBEAM Load Cells are manufactured of heat-treated 4340 alloy steel for reliable and accurate weighing, even in the most severe off-road loading and hauling conditions.
Load cells, hardware and connections are plated for long-term protection from corrosive elements.
Internal temperature and modulus compensation ensure consistently accurate weights in all environments. |

PRECISIONLINK transmitter models are available to suit all types of straight trucks in 3, 4, or 6 lead configurations. All models use single, in-line 2-wire technology for reliable digital trans- mission of weight data to the cab.
Precision Link units use 16-bit per input processing for high-quality resolution of analog load sensor measurements. Transmitter circuitry is completely en-capsulated inside a heavy gauge stainless steel enclosure. |

ACCUWEIGH 9700 Models provide simple Gross, Net and Axle Load weights, or a more sophisticated 9710 model can provide Push-button Zero Split Load-Deliver functions with Printer ports, Time/Date clock, Limit Setpoints and data storage programs.
Simple digital diagnostics allow each system component to be quickly checked and tested from the cab. |
