Onboard Weighing Systems
Accuweigh’s Brisbane branch recently fitted onboard truck scales to two tipper trucks for the Brisbane City Council. The onboard truck scales will ensure truck drivers can accurately monitor the loaded weight of the truck to comply with recent chain of responsibility requirements.
Accuweigh’s onboard truck scales use two PM Onboard heavy duty loadcells fitted under the hinges of the tipper with a pressure transducer fitted into the tippers hydraulic ram. This load cell and transducer combination achieves very good accuracy and repeatability and is a very cost effective solution to alleviating potential overloading on tipper trucks.
The tipper trucks were supplied by Brisbane Isuzu with the onboard truck scales fitted prior to delivery of the trucks to BCC. The installation of the onboard truck scales was very straightforward with approx one day required to complete each install, including full testing and calibration.
Accuweigh is Australia’s largest industrial weighing company with branches in all mainland states and is the exclusive Australian distributor for the highly regarded PM Onboard range of onboard weighing systems from the UK.
