On-Board Weighing Scales: Efficiency on the Move

In the world of logistics and heavy machinery, precision matters. On-board weighing scales have revolutionized the way we measure loads in trucks, loaders, and other vehicles. Let’s explore why these scales are crucial and how they enhance efficiency.

Why On-Board Weighing Scales?

1. Real-Time Weight Measurement: Traditional weighbridges require vehicles to stop and be weighed separately. On-board scales eliminate this hassle by providing real-time weight data while the vehicle is in motion. Whether it’s a dump truck carrying aggregates or a front-end loader moving materials, accurate weight information is essential.
2. Maximizing Payload: Overloading not only damages roads but also poses safety risks. On-board scales help operators load vehicles optimally, maximizing payload without exceeding legal weight limits. This translates to cost savings and safer transportation.
3. Time Efficiency: Time is money in logistics. On-board weighing systems reduce wait times at weigh stations, toll booths, and loading docks. Trucks can bypass static weighbridges, improving overall productivity.

Types of On-Board Weighing Systems

1. Load Cells: These sensors are integrated into the vehicle’s suspension system. They measure the weight directly and transmit data to the onboard display.
2. Pressure Sensors: Commonly used in air suspension systems, pressure sensors calculate weight based on air pressure changes. They are reliable and cost-effective.
3. Strain Gauges: These sensors detect strain in specific components (such as axles or forks) caused by the load. Strain gauge-based systems are accurate and durable.
