Fitted by Accuweigh’s Brisbane North branch, a truck and trailer combo was fitted with two dual channel onboard weighing systems to display the weight of each individual axle group.
Due to the different types of suspensions fitted to the truck and trailer, the PM Onboard weighing system required a combination of air bag and spring suspension weight sensors to be utilised.
As well as warning the driver of overloaded axles during loading, this onboard weighing system also allows product to be accurately augured out of the truck and/or trailer. Both onboard weighing systems can be selected to display the weight of each axle in either gross or net weight modes to suit both loading and discharging operations.
The two digital weight indicators were mounted in a stainless steel Rittal enclosure at the rear of the truck in clear view of the driver when loading and discharging product. The first onboard weighing system separately monitors the steer and drive axles of the truck while the second weighing system displays the individual weights of the front axle and rear axles of the dog trailer.
