Robust weighing system chosen

A simple to maintain on-board weighing system from Avery Weigh- Tronix will minimise truck downtime according to one of Scotland's largest hauliers, Yuill and Dodds. The company operates a fleet of more than 100 vehicles.

Working with body builders Colledge Trailers, the company has opted for the Avery Weigh-Tronix system on eight new trucks.

Says Brian Yuill, managing director of Yuill and Dodds: "We have used on board weighing for fourteen years to maximise the load we can carry without overloading. The idea is to maximise our operating efficiency and remain legal.

"We need a system that is robust to minimise downtime and is also generally fast and simple to maintain."
