Any device for measuring loads will need checking possibly adjusting occasionally to bring it back into specification.
And with Axtec OnBoard the cost is nearly always nothing.
We have a customer who has many hundreds of our OnBoard Load
Indicators installed at branches all over the country.
One of the branches queried the accuracy on a couple of
their systems and wondered whether it might be beneficial to have them
routinely checked by one of our engineers.
This is a service we gladly provide. But as with all service
work, it comes at a cost.

| Axtec OnBoard. Routine resetting costs nothing. |
We calculated how much it would cost to do visit the site
and do a routine reset twice a year and estimated it would be in the region of
£250.00 per visit. There would be hidden costs as well in terms of keeping the
vehicles in the yard ready for a service engineer’s visit.
However, the system is designed so that customers can do this
simple reset themselves. At no cost and at a time to suit them.
Axtec OnBoard has no manual controls. Not only does this make
it simple to use requiring no training but also means none of the settings or calibration
can be changed. It is not possible to make the system display what you want
thus potentially fooling drivers, loaders or the authorities.
What it does have though is a simple reset procedure which
takes about twenty seconds to bring the system back within specification when the
accuracy has drifted out.
Training someone to do it takes minutes, no special tools or
technical knowledge is required and each vehicle can be reset in a matter of
seconds.
And then that vehicle is back out on the road earning its
keep.
No expensive service engineer to visit, no keeping the vehicles
in the yard, no specialist tools or training.
So the cost of routine resetting Axtec OnBoard really is zero.
