High-Accuracy On-Board Scale Systems For Logging Vehicles

Accurate and reliable payload measurement is an important element of profitability in the woods industry

A PRECISIONLOADS

on-board scale system allows optimum, safe and legal use of a truck's payload capacity, both for maximizing loads and preventing the liabilities of overloading.

PRECISIONLOADS

has developed a simple calculation for analyzing the speed of payback which our on-board scales can provide to any bulk transport operation.

No more Overweight Fines: The expense of operating overloaded is already prohibitive in many regions and is becoming a serious issue nationwide. Enforcement is increasing and penalties are becoming more costly.

Eliminate Legal Liabilities: The potential costs to a hauler from lawsuits resulting from an accident involving an overloaded truck can be severe.

Ensure Operating Safety: Overloaded trucks have significantly impaired braking distances and cornering abilities, and are more likely to experience premature failures of truck components.

Cut Maintenance Costs: Hauling legal payloads reduces maintenance expense on springs, brakes and tires, and increases the operating lifetime of the truck and body.

Increase Driver Efficiency: Our on-board scales give your drivers the assurance of hauling legal. With scales, drivers finish trips more efficiently and faster with full, legal loads.

PRECISIONLOADS

kits are simple to install, typically requiring between 8 and 20 man-hours per truck, including wiring. Several mounting design options are available from PRECISIONLOADS

, and the system selected will depend on the type of equipment to be fit with scales. Typical system options are as follows:

Tractor Systems used may be 5th Wheel load cell kits:

Air-ride suspension transducer kits may be used on either tractor or trailer or both:

A Trunnion Loadpin is used for single-point suspension weighing:

Tandem equalizing spring suspensions use center hanger load cell assemblies:

System electronics are designed for simplicity. Display units may be mounted in the truck cab or environmentally-protected units are available for external mounting. The PL9700 Digital Display provides operators with: Total Truck Gross Weight, Net Payload Weight, Steering Axle Weight, Drive Axle Weight.

Two-wire digital communications provide reliable system operation.

Single, Dual and Four Channel models suit a wider range of applications.

Liquid Crystal Secondary Display lets the operator view all channels and total simultaneously, while loading.

Smart Transmitters automatically identify trailer interchanges for true Plug-and-Go.

Simple Diagnostics allow each system component to be quickly checked and tested from the cab.

PRECISIONBEAM

bolt-down load cells are designed for high-strength and low profile to fit both 5th wheel and spring suspension scale applications.

4340 Alloy Steel load cell material handles high dynamic forces under the toughest off-road operating conditions.

Plated Load Cells and mounting hardware provide protection in corrosive environments

Temperature Compensation ensures accurate scale performance day-in and day-out.
