In cab weighing help
December 1st 2011 A wireless in cab display showing
weighbridge weight is helping
Craven Grain maximise the loading
of outbound vehicles. The solution
from Avery Weigh-Tronix has halved
the manpower needed, increased the
speed and accuracy of loading and
improved health and safety on the
site.
Vehicles collecting grain from the
storage facility need to be accurately
loaded. They are initially loaded
from one of the stores before moving
onto the weighbridge. From here the
vehicle is topped up using a loading
shovel mounted on a tractor.
This process was difficult because
when the shovel driver has the
bucket in the air for loading, they
could not see the external weight
display indicator. This meant that a
second person would need to watch
this display and signal instructions to
the driver.
Avery Weigh-Tronix developed a
wireless remote display unit to show
the weighbridge weight in the cab of
the loading vehicle. This display unit
is mounted on the top of the
windscreen so that the shovel driver
can see the current weighbridge
weight and look at the shovel, while
slowly tipping the load into the
trailer. More articles from Avery Weigh-Tronix Limited: |
