On-board weighing systems launched

TruckWeigh and VanWeigh overload protection systems developed by Vishay Precision Group alert perators to any overload situation, allowing them to maximise their load and avoid fines while minimising the maintenance costs and safety risks of operating an overloaded truck. TruckWeigh is specifically designed for larger-capacity vehicles up to 60 tonnes with mechanical and/or air spring suspensions while the VanWeigh system is designed for twin-axle vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes with standard coil or leaf spring

TruckWeigh and VanWeigh overload protection systems developed by 7360 Vishay Precision Group alert operators to any overload situation, allowing them to maximise their load and avoid fines while minimising the maintenance costs and safety risks of operating an overloaded truck.

TruckWeigh is specifically designed for larger-capacity vehicles up to 60 tonnes with mechanical and/or air spring suspensions while the VanWeigh system is designed for twin-axle vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes with standard coil or leaf spring suspensions. The systems utilise solid-state sensors to ensure maximum durability in harsh environments.

The company’s BulkWeigh and WasteWeigh onboard weighing systems can be equipped with three cameras and up to an additional five cameras to provide drivers with a 360-degree view.
