2009-09-18 - Fiveways Contols Council Axle Weights

Vehicle Weighing Solutions announces it has increased to 50 the number of Dennis RCV’s with very latest integrated Loadweigh-CAN weigher it has supplied to London based Municipal hire specialist Fiveways. VWS, the Oldham based supplier of onboard truck weighing systems, partnered Dennis Eagle to develop an integrated onboard weighing and overload protection system. What’s new, is the absence of the traditional ‘in-cab indicator’. Instead, weight information is displayed on the existing dash mount, in-built information screen which also shows vehicle management data, diagnostic information and rear view images. Fiveways Fleet manager Barry Abbot said: “Should the truck or one of its axles gets to within 50 Kg of its legal maximum, the compactor stops” not new for onboard weighers but VWS point out the driver has no control to override the system; he has no choice but to take the truck to the tip. Abbot continues: “These systems don’t need any driver intervention, and that’s popular with councils”. Julian Glasspole, MD of VWS said “Fiveways was the first to specify the integrated Loadweigh-CAN system because the weigher is CANbus, it wires directly into the Dennis control system, and because there’s no indicator, cabs are much neater” adding to that, Julian explains that his wiring technicians don’t have to drill holes or take wiring looms in to the cab. Scott Martin, Fiveways MD said “adding onboard weighing to the hire fleet with packer pate cut off, gives our customers more control to prevent drivers overloading”, and goes on “this is the simplest system to use on the market” - End -
