On-board weighing systems

On-board weighing systems
Vulcan On-Board Scales manufactures quality on-board weighing systems for all types of refuse and recycling applications on vehicles with spring, air, or mixed suspensions. Applications include front loaders, roll-offs, transfer trucks and trailers, rear loaders, side loaders, and container carriers. Vulcan’s unique on-board roll-off scale uses 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, and more.

The Vulcan roll-off 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.
