In cab weighing help

A wireless in cab display showing weighbridge weight is helping Craven Grain maximise the loading of outbound vehicles.

A wireless in cab display showing weighbridge weight is helping Craven Grain maximise the loading of outbound vehicles. The solution from Avery Weigh-Tronix has halved the manpower needed, increased the speed and accuracy of loading and improved health and safety on the site.

Vehicles collecting grain from the storage facility need to be accurately loaded. They are initially loaded from one of the stores before moving onto the weighbridge. From here the vehicle is topped up using a loading shovel mounted on a tractor.

This process was difficult because when the shovel driver has the bucket in the air for loading, they could not see the external weight display indicator. This meant that a second person would need to watch this display and signal instructions to the driver.

Avery Weigh-Tronix developed a wireless remote display unit to show the weighbridge weight in the cab of the loading vehicle. This display unit is mounted on the top of the windscreen so that the shovel driver can see the current weighbridge weight and look at the shovel, while slowly tipping the load into the trailer.
