On-board weighing saves cash

27 novembre 2007

Owner driver Rob White of Rowen Bulk Services reckons that in over four years of hauling grain and aggregates across southern England, fitting of aVishay PM Onboard weighing kit has saved him thousands of pounds in otherwise hidden costs.  

The kit means his 44 tonne tipping rig neither runs light or heavy. He can load to the legal maximum first time, every time.And in doing so, he says he avoids the irksome time wasting associated with sometimes repeated trips to the site or quarry weighbridge, rejoining the queue after adding or shedding payload to get the gross weight spot on.  

He has no fear of his vehicle being overloaded, so he cuts the chance of big fines and potentially saving cash in that direction too. "Individual axle loadings and gross vehicle weight readings are available simply at the touch of a button," says White, who also likes the comfort of the inclinometer that warns of potential danger when tipping on uneven ground.
