Its new Griffith Elder weighbridge provides shippers with a Verified Gross Mass (VGM) for special cargo services handling breakbulk consolidation and heavy-lifting services.<\/p>\n
Although the responsibility for weighing rests with the shipper, there has been serious concerns regarding the misdeclaration of weights over the last few years internationally.<\/p>\n
Abnormally-sized cargo cannot be weighed using the weighing devices fitted to the gantry cranes as it is generally loaded and secured onto flat rack containers.<\/p>\n
Griffith Elder could not install a traditional full-size weighbridge either above ground due to space and ramp issues, nor below ground, due to the amount of excavations needed in an area that had many existing underground services.<\/p>\n
So, it installed a customised heavy duty multi-axle weighbridge capable of weighing multiple highly concentrated loads safely up to 150 tonnes.<\/p>\n
The operation is totally automatic and data is transmitted wirelessly to the Ton-Tel Transport Management Software which produces weighbridge tickets automatically.<\/p>\n
Ton-Tel also allows for vehicle tare weights to be assigned to the correct vehicle and then to complete a ticket with gross, tare and net weights.<\/p>\n
Any computer on the network is able to run the software to view the weighbridge tickets in \u2018real time\u2019 and run reports. It is also possible to integrate with the client\u2019s data directly with access provided to the weighbridge database.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
