In a meeting with a client last week, it was interesting to note how much they had to do to ensure compliance.
And we were
approached to help resolve any overloading issues.
The ideal solution
would be to fit Axtec OnBoard to all their vans. Axtec OnBoard shows front, rear and gross weights permanently on a
simple graphical and numeric colour display. And drivers do not have to
remember their legal weights as the system does it for them.
Legal
weights are shown in green, anything over 80% is shown in amber and overloads
are automatically highlighted in flashing red.
But with the whole
fleet 100% on short term hire that might not be the most cost effective
solution at the moment.
But doing nothing is
not an option and fortunately there is
more than one axle weighing system to solve a potential overloading problem.

The vans should be
fitted out with specific racking and a specific toolkit. In theory, no chance
of being overloaded. But keeping a check on those vehicle weights is vital.
A good option is to
introduce a program of spot checks and the Axtec Static Single-Axle Weighbridge
offers a solution.
Using the same
frame, beam and load cells as the dynamic systems used for enforcement, the
Static Single is purpose designed for operators of 2-axle rigid vehicles.
Simple to use – instructions
and weights are shown to the driver in his seat on a large display – and designed
for a long life, drivers and management would be able to check that vehicles
are not overloaded every time they leave the depot.
Quickly, simply and
accurately.
Axtec offer the
widest range of axle weighing systems available from one company and we always
offer best advice for any overloading issue.
And the Axtec Static-Single
provides a great solution in the right circumstances.
