ON-BOARD SCALES

ON-BOARD SCALES
Vulcan On-Board Scales manufactures quality on-board weighing systems for all types of refuse applications on vehicles with spring, air, or mixed suspensions. Applications also include front loaders, roll-offs, transfer trucks and trailers, rear loaders, side loaders, container carriers, and more.

One unique solution is Vulcan’s on-board roll-off scale, with electronics designed to simplify customer use. The system typically provides accuracy within one percent of gross vehicle weight. The V300 meter displays gross vehicle or net payload weights, alerting the driver to unsafe and overloaded situations. The system provides information to allow maximizing each load, and to determine the lowest cost location for off-loading. The optional V600 meter can record net daily payloads, print individual load tickets, plus more. The Vulcan roll-of scale uses shear pin load cells for the rear hinge, and a hydraulic sensor on the lift cylinders to make it suitable for both retrofits and new vehicles.
