We also offer telephonic support as many questions can be easily resolved without a costly site visit,” Van Heerden explains. “We carry a full range of spares and have facilities to test and repair units both infield and at our head office,” says Van Heerden. Robust for a tough environment Van Heerden says the VEI system is extremely robust. “We have systems working 3 000 m above sea level in Lesotho and units that are used 2 500 m underground. All units are certified by TUV Rheinland.” The systems are temperature tested, dust and humidity proof, have no ambient interference, and are vibration protected to allow maximum productivity which maximises profits and minimises downtime. l

in container ports - all can be accommodated. We also have the ability to tie into third party telematics systems so that clients can integrate the weighing information into their FMS without any problems,” says Van Heerden. Once a client has decided on the right system for the task at hand, DWS Systems installs it, and provides training. “We firmly believe that the system is only as good as the training provided. On each installation, time is spent not only with the operators but the training officers and site supervisors.

The benefits of Dynamic Weigh Systems’ onboard vehicle systems • Payload monitoring The systems provide real-time load monitoring capabilities so that vehicle operators know the precise weight of their vehicle load, allowing for increased payload optimisation. • Overload identification As a result of monitoring total axle load on the

vehicle, the systems identify and alert operators when they approach or exceed the safe and legal limits of the vehicle’s weight load. • Data export and monitoring Exporting collected data to the customer’s desired network allows them to monitor individual vehicle loads and locations in real time, perfect for fleet management.
