Onboard Scales have been installed onto a tipper trailer that carts grain in South Australia.
The Onboard Scales are used to ensure the client knows the weight of grain being loaded onto the trailer without incurring charges for a Public Weighbridge ticket or risking overloading fines trying to access one.
The PM Onboard Scales kit supplied to the Freightmaster Semi Trailers located in Burton SA by Accuweigh’s Adelaide branch are ideally suited for this trailer weighing application. PM OnBoard is a UK based company that specialises in engineered Onboard Weighing Systems for bulk tipping rigid, semi-trailer and drawbar vehicles.
The Onboard Scales fitted to this trailer includes two load cells fitted to the tipper trailer’s rear hinges with another pair of load cells mounted under the hydraulic ram at the front of the trailer. The weight readings for the Onboard Scales are generated by a digital weight indicator mounted in the truck’s cab.
These Onboard Scales were supplied with the optional hand held remote control to allow the driver to supervise the loading of the trailer from outside the cab to ensure legal axle loadings are achieved. The remote control displays the current weight of product in the trailer and has keys for zero and print functions to allow a weight ticket to be generated using a printer mounted in the cab.
