VWS FEL bin weighing awarded EU type approval
VEHICLE Weighing Solutions Ltd (VWS), has received EU type approval for its market leading ENVIROWEIGH bin- weighing system to be fitted to front- end loading (FEL) vehicles and used for Pay by Weight services.
Julian Glasspole, Chairman at VWS, said: “This is great news because we can now provide for every aspect of our customers’ weighing needs, all under one roof. We are delighted that they can now all have their entire refuse vehicle fleet fitted with our highly accurate bin-weighing system.”
Designed and manufactured in the UK, the ENVIROWEIGH bin weighing and bin identification system is installed to the bin-lifting hoists of Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs). It is approved for charge by weight services and provides individual bin weights whilst displaying a running total of collected weights, which helps crews to prevent overloading.
The system can be installed to most types of RCV and weighs the precise weight of wastes collected from wheeled bin
Euro Commercials weighs in with two more FUSO Canters for NTM’s high-payload RCVs
BODY manufacturer NTM GB sold its two newest FUSO Canter-based refuse collection vehicles before it had even finished building them!
NTM builds and maintains a comprehensive range of high quality equipment for waste and recycling applications at the factory in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, to which it moved in 2015.
It will shortly be delivering the new 7.5-tonners to one of the UK’s leading waste management specialists. This well- established customer already operates a number of NTM refuse collection vehicles based on the award-winning FUSO.
The chassis were supplied by South Wales Dealer Euro Commercials, which also sells and supports Mercedes-Benz trucks, and is a leading supplier to the municipal sector. The two companies have forged a highly successful working partnership over recent years.
containers to accuracies of 0.5% or 1kg. For front-end loading vehicles the system is certified to an accuracy of 20kg and will list up to 3,500kg.
The system comes with a data logger to record every weight transaction, a ticket printer, a keyboard to input data
such as customer, material or bin type, and a barcode wand to scan on and off customers’ sites or assign a customer to a lift. ENVIROWEIGH integrates easily with telemetry systems and comes with an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) control module plus RFID tag readers.
Under a rolling production programme NTM has pre-built a succession of Canters for immediate delivery to operators. It has also fitted compactor bodies to a number of low-entry Mercedes-Benz Econics, including nine 26-tonne rear- steer models which entered service with Ceredigion County Council last summer. NTM’s demonstration fleet includes a pair of Econics too.
NTM area sales manager Tim Prince confirmed: “The Canter is definitely the most popular 7.5-tonner for our customers, so we regularly build stock vehicles on this chassis. It’s all about payload. The Canter will carry the best part of a tonne more than most trucks in its gross weight segment, and with our K-Midi body offers exceptionally high levels of productivity.”
