VPG launches upgraded VanWeigh monitoring system25 March 2019
VPG Onboard Weighing has announced the latest release of its VanWeigh axle overload monitoring system for light commercial vehicles.
Available in the UK from next month, VanWeigh is designed to fit any light commercial twin-axle vehicle with standard coil or leaf spring suspension or air suspension. It 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 and tear.
Gross vehicle weight and per-axle load information is displayed to the driver on a colour touchscreen and its telematics output connects to GPS tracking systems. An audible alarm sounds if the total vehicle or axle weight maximum is reached.
This generation VanWeigh system can be retrofitted to vans, 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).
