It’s always nice to hear from an existing customer about how one of our systems is helping them make a profit.
And Ford & Slater, one of DAF Trucks’ largest UK dealer
groups, visited us at the CV Show to tell
us they had made annual savings of £19,000 since installing one of our dynamic
weighbridges.
The had previously incurred the costs and time
penalties when weighing off-site, and were prompted to invest in the system after
learning the same equipment had been installed at Leyland Trucks in Lancashire
– the UK assembly plant for right-hand-drive DAF vehicles.
Ford & Slater have been installing Axtec OnBoard
for five years now and need to weigh vehicles for calibration purposes. Knowing
that the Leyland assembly plant had been using an Axtec Dynamic for a number of
years gave them the confidence to install their own.

And added to the substantial saving made in time and
costs of visiting local weighbridges, the install time of the system and delivery
times to customers has also significantly improved.
The total installation cost which was under £20,000.00
has been virtually recouped in the first year of operation and thereafter the
system is adding to the companies profits.
The Axtec Dynamic will weigh any current or projected
road going vehicle in around 40 seconds and is the most accurate system of its
type in the world.
Axtec took responsibility for the complete
installation from planning the location to all the civil works and final
commissioning and testing using our unique axle weighbridge calibration vehicle.
Axtec Dynamic was the right solution for Ford & Slater but there is
a vast array of systems, software and peripherals in our range. As the UK’s only
dedicated manufacturer specialising exclusively axle weighing systems we can
offer impartial advice on the right system for your needs.
If there are any axle weighing issues we might be able to help with,
just get in touch. And next year you could be telling us about an increase in
YOUR profits.
