Underbody weighing system fitted to vehicle fleet
A Loadweigh underbody weighing system, suitable for rigid or articulated tipping trailers and tankers, has enabled a supplier of primary and recycled aggregates to optimise its material handling.
The bin weighing system, which was fitted to a brand new Hiel Big Bite vehicle, consists of a Loadweigh precision underbody system and an Enviroweigh wheeled bin weighing and identification system.
Countrystyle Recycling have been making massive investments in its site in Ridham dock near Sittingbourne in order to accurately weigh the waste collected from its customers.
The solution has proven so successful in its accuracy and reliability that Countrystyle have not only ordered another bin-weighing system for a second Hiel Big Bite vehicle but has now specified the same underbody equipment on a new grab-lift truck ordered from ABBA commercials.
Countrystyle's Operations Director, Chris Prinn, who ordered the complete system at the CIWM show in Torquay, is extremely impressed with the technology's success, so had no hesitation when asked to comment on how the installation was working for them, he said: "We engaged Vehicle Weighing Solutions to fit a smart chip tagging device to the bins on all of the routes and to supply the complete system, invoicing software and 24 hour support".
"It would be fair to say that we had a few minor teething problems, this was to be expected, but the Vehicle Weighing Solutions team were always available to help us".
"Countrystyle now maximise route efficiency and we never overload our vehicles:.
"We have a good strong partnership with Vehicle Weighing Solutions and will look forward to working with them in the future".
