Intercomp’s Weigh-In-Motion Scale Systems are said by the US firm to be being increasingly used around the world for more efficient, cost-effective operations.
Manufactured in America, the Low-Speed Weigh-In-Motion (LS-WIM) system functions as either an unattended or manned weigh station. This scale solution is said to be minimally invasive when compared to large, in-ground platform truck scales and will increase the flow of trucks through any type of entry/exit gate to meter loads coming in or going out.
The installation of Intercomp’s LS-WIM In-Ground Weigh-In-Motion Scales in place of older static in-ground truck scales, that require drivers to stop on the scales to manually receive a weight, will increase overall efficiency. Large static scales require incoming drivers to wait in line until the scale becomes available prior to entry, limiting throughput. The larger size and complexity of the older static truck scales also increases annual maintenance costs.
Alternatively, the non-invasive nature of the small footprint of Intercomp’s LS-WIM scales, when compared to traditional 65+ foot static in-ground truck scales, means installation can be completed in a few days, minimising downtime. They are also said to be far less expensive to purchase and install then traditional static platform in-ground truck scales. Intercomp’s LS-WIM Scales have the ability to be integrated with printers, overhead displays and traffic lights, along with cameras, audio integration, RFID and cloud-based software for remote viewing and data recording.
Aaron Van Heel, marketing manager at Intercomp, says: “WIM is an exciting solution to streamline weight gathering operations.”
Intercomp’s LS-WIM Weigh-In-Motion Systems feature industry-leading, NTEP Certified strain gauge load cell technology, the same type used in static truck scales for increased accuracy and fast response times.
