On-Board Vehicle Weighing Systems
Major industries that have taken advantage of On-Board Weighing are the Ink, Logging, Mining, Pellet Delivery, Scrap, and Waste industries. Most systems are non-certified. However, certified Legal-for-Trade systems are in use in Europe and are now available again in the USA. Non-certified systems are often used to estimate loads and to avoid expensive overload fines by keeping track of your actual axle loading. Certified Legal-for-Trade systems are used to reduce route time and delivery cost by eliminating the need to drive to a certified Motor Truck Scale and pay for a certified Weight Ticket before and after each delivery. A certified Weight Ticket can be produced from the On-Board Vehicle Weighing System while at the customer's site. Contact us with your requirements.
The scales we sell and service are from quality conscious, ISO accredited, manufacturers.
TradeRoute works with many common straight-truck and trailer designs, but consult us about your specific application as frame styles and axle configurations vary greatly. It uses a system of weigh modules that install around the truck frame. But what makes this system even more unique is the hydraulics. With TradeRoute, the load doesn’t rest on the load cells while the truck is in motion. TradeRoute can only be used while the vehicle is parked and the hydraulics engage the load cells. This prevents a lot of excess wear and tear on the load cells and greatly extends the life of your system.
TradeRoute systems include weigh modules in addition to a stainless steel j-box, and a weatherproof control center that houses a 920i® indicator and Epson® TM-U295 ticket printer. By avoiding trips to a certified scale, imagine the driving time, fuel and vehicle wear savings from being able to buy and sell product directly to and from your payload. Then multiply that savings across an entire fleet of trucks. The 920i, customized for each application, records specific weight data from every stop and can then transmit that data back to a central office, eliminating a lot of paperwork and potential errors.
For a driver, knowing his or her truck weight at any given time can be critical. Like any onboard system, TradeRoute allows them to make the most of their capacity without going over, and avoid potential overload fines. Avoid a few of those tickets and an onboard system pays for itself pretty quickly.
