The QuickLoad onboard scale features an icon-based touch-screen display showing weight on the trailer axle group to within 300 pounds. This screen also gives access to Settings and the Alarm feature. The scale itself is configured with an LED alarm lamp that indicates the user-set threshold for maximum load, allowing accurate loading without the driver ever leaving the cab. In the severe environments where these trailers work, the driver might be forbidden to leave the cab for safety reasons.
Enhancing dump trailer longevity is a big concern. “Because the scale prevents overloading in those environments where there is no scale at the loading point,” says Koepke, “we see less abuse and our customers get the maximum life from their Sidump’r trailers.”
