Onboard weighing systems supplied by Accuweigh’s Adelaide branch are being fitted to tipper trailers during their manufacture by Armac Welding in Maitland, South Australia.
The onboard weighing systems utilize a set of heavy duty load cells mounted on the trailer chassis and under the hydraulic lifting ram.
The onboard weighing system’s weight readings are provided by a digital weight indicator fitted into the truck’s dash to allow the driver to read the net weight of product in the trailer. A hand held remote display is also available to allow the truck driver to monitor the loading of product from outside the truck while also providing remote access to normal weight indicator functions like zero, tare and print.
The onboard weighing systems are used by local farmers to ensure their trailers are not exceeding legal weight limits while transporting grain and animal feeds on public roads. Accuweigh is the exclusive Australian agent for the UK based PM On-Board range of onboard weighing systems which can also be retro-fitted to existing trailers where required.
PM On-Board specialises in engineered onboard weighing systems for bulk tipping rigid, semi-trailer and drawbar vehicles. The PM BulkWeigh system is designed for high accuracy in rugged environments and is waterproofed to marine quality standards.
Accuweigh is Australia’s largest industrial weighing company with branches in all mainland states to ensure complete backup and after sales support is available across Australia.
