| Accurate and reliable payload measurement is an important element of profitability and operating safety in wastewater collection. Whether for municipal, county, state or private operations, 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.
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 truck body. Increase Driver Efficiency: Our on-board scales give your drivers the assurance of hauling legal. With scales, drivers finish routes more efficiently and faster with full, legal loads. PRECISIONLOADS kits are simple to install, typically requiring between 4 and 6 man-hours per truck, including wiring. High-strength loadpins are installed at the rear body hinge pivots and hydraulic ram to replace existing pivot pins. Our scale loadpins are supplied complete with mounting collars and bolts to enable the installer to quickly insert and lock the new loadpins in place. Pins are supplied with or without lubrication facilities as required. |
