Alliance Scale, Inc.
Portable Truck Scale
Alliance Scale, Inc., introduced a high-capacity,
portable truck scale that can be moved from site to site. The Alliance
Portable Truck Scale features Rice Lake’s Survivor ATV Series steel
deck. Available in sizes ranging from 10 to 80 feet in length and 10,
11, or 12 feet in width, the scale provides up to 100 tons of capacity.
Featuring pre-assembled deck modules with self-seating hinge connectors,
the scale is designed to be portable.
Actronic Technologies
Loadout management
Actronic Technologies released the new Loadrite
Loadout Management System. Designed to use data captured from the line’s
onboard scales, the management system provides quarry, regional, and
corporate staff members greater visibility to loadout operations. Using
radio modems and ruggedized in-cab displays, loader operators know what
trucks are waiting within the quarry, receive confirmation on required
product, know how much product is requested, and can check how long a
customer has been waiting. The company says that every movement of
machines and material becomes trackable.
Trackmobile, Inc.
Tier 3 railcar movers
Trackmobile, Inc. offers two new railcar movers
that incorporate Cummins Tier 3 engines, the Command Post operator
environment, and CAN bus control systems, among other features. The
Titan Series units options include Trackmobile Radio Control, Track
Mobile Ground Control System, and cab air conditioning. The Hercules
Series features the Command Post operator environment and Force 12
pneumatics.
Vulcan On-Board Scales
Dump truck weighing
Vulcan On-Board Scales’ new dump truck weighing
system helps operators save time during the loading, weighing, and
re-loading process. Its latest offering provides options including a
system display of gross vehicle or net payload weight. Axle weight may
be chosen for applications where the user needs to know individual axle
weights. The system is said to provide accuracy within 1 percent of
gross vehicle weight and is recommended for on-road and off-road
applications.
