Vishay Precision Group's TruckWeigh overload monitoring and payload maximisation system is to be distributed in the UK and Ireland exclusively by Hyva for hookloaders and skiploaders.
TruckWeigh combines VPG's axle transducer technology and air pressure sensors to monitor the vehicle weight, alerting drivers to overload conditions. It is compatible with a range of rigid and articulated trucks and trailers, including tippers, RCVs, skip loaders, roll-offs and hook loaders.
Among advantages claimed by VPG are the ability of the system to: optimise fuel consumption; protect against axle and gross overload; avoid fines and overload endorsements; and reduce vehicle wear and tear.
