Prior to putting a container on a truck, customers may now be able to weigh the container while it’s being held by the Mobicon with the new weighing system that can be added to the machine.
The weighing system can split the weight of the container to front and rear weight. That way, the customer can avoid overloading the trailer or the prime mover.
The weighing of containers becomes more important, now that the responsibility of overloading road vehicles is shifting from the truck driver to the company that loads the truck or trailer.
There are heavy fines for overloading a vehicle, and with a weighing system on the Mobicon these fines can be avoided.
So if you’re in the business of container handling, you’d best request a weighing system be added on your next Mobicon purchase!
