Underground Truck Weighing

Counting and recording underground truck cycles is a tedious and error-prone exercise that few operators enjoy. Fleet managers also welcome any steps that remove workload from underground truck operators to allow them to focus on safe and productive material movement. For data-entry operators, the interpretation and alignment of paper-based tally sheets can be a complex and frustrating activity, so the arrival of the new payload truck monitor from VEI signals a welcome relief from these issues.

01Weighing and loading data management device installed on board

The Device is perfectly positioned in the cabin to give you the best view of its display and operability in choosing the data you want to enter before starting the load. Its swivel mount allows you to direct the Device as you wish.

02Load cell pin for determining the weight on the rear axle

The sensors called LOADPIN replace the original joining pins between the body and the dumper frame. In this way, all the load loaded on the axle is felt by the sensors and transformed into an electrical signal to be processed and display its weight. Custom designed for your dumper, the LOADPINs are built with a special steel and engineered to provide you with a robust, durable and unparalleled product. The degree of protection of the LOADPIN ensures operation at the most extreme temperatures and environmental conditions. The characteristics of its cable and its protection have been chosen for the work environment where substances derived from oil or salt will not damage them.

03Load cell to determine the weight on the front

The load cell installed in the front side where the body rests, completely or partially replaces the body resting buffer, in this way the front load is measured by the load cell. The load cell is designed with a very high breaking load so it can easily absorb the forces involved. Engineered with extremely reduced dimensions despite its sturdiness, it does not encounter comparisons of its kind, making it possible to apply it in small spaces. The degree of protection of the load cell ensures operation at the most extreme temperatures and environmental conditions. The characteristics of its cable and its protection have been chosen for the work environment where substances derived from oil or salt will not damage them.

04 External light for maximum capacity warning

This LED light is installed outside the cabin to alert the loading machine when the maximum capacity is about to be reached. With an intermittent flashing which increases when the set threshold is approaching, it proves to be useful for the load phases where compliance with the capacity of the vehicle represents a decrease in maintenance costs. Up to 3 lights can be installed to compensate for the different loading positions that the machine can take, right, left or back.
