With the SOLAS regulations being implemented into the industry, the weighing system, which has a container gross mass accuracy of 1%, hopes to be a valuable asset to its customers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe find it extremely important to develop out products with future needs in mind and to always be on our toes,\u201d said Lars Fredin, senior vice-president and head of Konecranes business unit Lift Trucks.<\/p>\n
The IMO SOLAS Chapter VI amendment which comes into force from July 1, 2016 requires a container to have a verified gross mass (VGM) before it can be loaded onto a vessel, will affect shippers, carriers and of course terminal operators.<\/p>\n
Konecranes Static Weighing System can be retrofitted to existing machines, and allows the reach stacker to measure the weight of the lifted container with 1% full-scale accuracy in less than five seconds.<\/p>\n
It enables seamless interchange of data with the customer\u2019s TOS\/TMS or ERP system through a secure, cloud-based service. Data captured includes the container\u2019s verified gross mass, the container ID, the date and timestamp as well as the person accountable for the weight verification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
