On-board system saves operators time and money

New advances in on-board weighing technology are bringing quarry operators improved efficiency and profitability. The accuracy of the equipment means that material can now be sold by weight rather than cubic metre. Production is increased and maximum operational efficiency is ensured.

Fully compliant with OIML Class IIII and Y(b), the legal-for-trade PKV PRO on-board weighing system accurately weighs the content of each bucket load even while the vehicle is moving and often on uneven ground. The fully automatic weighing process is based on the measurement of the hydraulic lifting cylinder.

The in-cab display unit can be fitted to any type of wheel loader and can be quickly mounted in the cab within eye view of the driver. The weight of the bucket contents is displayed through a graphic alphanumeric liquid display. With the system capable of memorizing up to 1,000 weighing cards in the log memory, the driver can store and download details on customer, site, material, time, date, price etc. Intelligent software, with individually linked memory information, makes the system easy to use.

The advanced design and technology behind the PKV PRO is said to guarantee maximum operational efficiency and profitability. It eliminates the need for expensive weighbridges in fixed locations and removes any danger of overloading.
