Designed to fit any light commercial twin axle vehicle with
standard coil or leaf spring suspension or air suspension, the
VanWeigh system’s user-friendly technology protects drivers and
operators from weight infractions while providing per axle load
distribution data to balance and maximise loads while reducing fuel
consumption and vehicle wear & tear.
Gross vehicle weight (GVW) and per axle load information is
displayed to the driver on an easy-to-use color touchscreen and its
telematics output connects to GPS tracking systems. The new
VanWeigh boasts improved GVW accuracy of better than ±2.5% within
90-100% of GVW, versus ±3% in first generation systems, and an
audible alarm sounds if the total vehicle or axle weight maximum is
reached.
This state-of-the-art second generation VanWeigh system,
available in easy-to-install retrofit or OEM configurations, has no
moving parts and is not susceptible to wear and tear or slipping
out of calibration. It features solid-state sensors that monitor
the deflection in the springs, complies with UNECE Regulation
10.05 on electromagnetic compatibility, and is four times more
accurate than the original VanWeigh technology (measuring 80
increments for every one degree of deflection, up from the current
system which measures 20 increments).
