Axle Weighing Scales
A set of axle weighing scales were recently relocated for Jim Pearson Transport. The axle weighing scales are used to ensure truck axles can be loaded to legal weight limits for increased cost efficiency while alleviating potential fines for overloaded axle groups.
Accuweigh’s Newcastle branch relocated the axle weighing scales from their previous location at Kempsey and installed them at Jim Pearson Transport’s depot in Grafton. The axle weighing scales are currently being used for internal axle weight checking only, however could easily be upgraded to a trade certified system in future.
After being re-installed, the axle weighing scales were fully tested and calibrated to ensure high weighing accuracy for trucks using the axle scales. The axle weighing scales measure 4m x 3m with a weighing capacity of 30t and is fitted with a Rinstrum R5000 digital weight indicator to generate the weight readings. A Rinstrum D740 large digit remote display is positioned away from the axle weighbridge to allow both the driver and fork lift drivers to see the loaded weight of the truck axles.
Accuweigh is Australia’s industrial weighing company and has branches in all mainland states providing complete after sales service and support on axle weighbridges, axle weighing scales and all electronic weighing equipment.
