Scales offer precise ops
October 1st 2011 Walkers Builders Merchants has saved
around £35,000 by switching to using
a FLSC Forklift Scale System from
Avery Weigh-Tronix and avoiding
overfilling.
Walkers sells bulk bags of a range
of aggregates. In order to fill a one
tonne bulk bag the merchant uses a
JCB Teletruck with Avery FLSC
Forklift scales and a Bagezee
attachment. This means there is now
no need to worry about the loss of
profit from over-filling, and no need
to worry about fines from Trading
Standards Weights and Measures for
under-filling.
First, the scales are set to tare with
the bucket empty. The Teletruck then
collects the aggregates from a pile in
the yard and the weight is taken by
the FLSC Forklift scales. Once the
bucket is full, any excess is dropped
out through the bottom trap doors. More articles from Avery Weigh-Tronix Limited: |
