Whilst light vans are often the most vulnerable to weight issues, larger vehicles need to be protected from overloading too.
So there are versions
of Axtec OnBoard to suit those vehicles as well.
Two examples of operators
of larger vehicles who may have issues with overloading are scaffolding and
tool hire companies.
It should be
relatively easy not to overload a scaffolding vehicle with poles and boards
when leaving for a job. But what about when they come back?
Those nice clean
boards may now be covered in mud and dried concrete. As might the poles. And
all heavier than they were when they left the depot.

| Axtec OnBoard - also protects larger vehicles from overloads |
And what if a
different, smaller vehicles does the pick up to the one that delivered them in
the first place?
Tool hire operators
can have similar issues, some possibly caused by helpful drivers.
Again it is
relatively easy to ensure a vehicle leaves the depot legally laden. But time and
again we hear tales of drivers being sent to collect plant who are asked to
take items in addition to those they were expecting.
A driver being
helpful to the customer may find that he has inadvertently overloaded his
vehicle.
Overloading affects
some of the most safety critical components on the vehicle - brakes, steering,
clutch and suspension are all adversely affected.
Axtec OnBoard is a
cost effective solution to anyone delivering or collecting items such as
scaffolding or plant. Even the biggest rigid vehicle can be fitted on site in a
day.
Axle and gross
weights are displayed as soon as the ignition is switched on. No driver
training or input is required and weights are shown on a simple colour display
with all overloads shown in flashing red.
And connectivity to
a tracking device comes as standard.
Axtec OnBoardrarely if ever needs recalibrating. A simple customer function to reset the
zero if necessary is usually all that is required to keep the system in
tolerance.
If some of the
issues described above sound familiar, just get in touch and we’ll be
happy to arrange a chat to see if we can help.
