Remote Scale
The Remote Scales Transmitter/Receiver has been designed by Anything Electronic (NZ) Ltd to assist in log truck loading. This unit enables an operator to see the weight, as read by the in-vehicle weighing system, even while loading the back of the B-train!
The Remote Display is a "life-saver" in two ways.
Firstly for the operator. Heath and safety are big issues these days. There is now no need to continuously climb up and down steep loader/trucksteps, which can be especially treacherous in the wet.
Secondly for the owner. Reducing truck load times. This will keep the trucks on the road where they earn their living.
