Radlastwaage RWS

Wheel Load Scale for Mobile Axle Load Measurement

With the wheel load scale RWS, this is a weighing plate with an integrated load display. This enables direct reading of the wheel load without annoying cables.
The wheel load scale impresses with high accuracy and great stability. A robust design of the load plates made of special aluminium with low weight and high resistance enables use in harsh working environments. The integrated display is also reinforced, features a moisture-protected keypad and a backlit display.
The RWS wheel load scale is particularly suitable for mobile measurement of vehicle weight for smaller vehicles (caravan, motorhome etc.), motorcycle weighing, glider / ultralight weighing or in motor racing.

Features of the Wheel Load Scale

Setup and Installation of Axle Weighing Systems

RULES FOR OPTIMAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION

1. The support surfaces under the modules must be level and at the same height and should have a hardness of at least 100kg/cm2 (reference value for reinforced concrete). NOTE: Excessive slope can noticeably reduce system accuracy.
2. In axle-weighing mode it is advisable to create a height-adjusted area before and after the weighing platforms, with an appropriate length.
3. The subsoil under the weighing area must withstand loads of at least 1.5 times the maximum capacity of the module without subsidence.
4. Weighing performance may depend on the type and condition of the vehicle being weighed.
5. In axle-weighing mode it is not recommended to weigh vehicles transporting liquids.
6. Once the system has been optimised, it is recommended to always keep the same driving direction.

WHEN TO PROVIDE HEIGHT MODULES BEFORE AND AFTER THE PLATFORMS IN AXLE WEIGHING

• Height modules for adjustment to the same level are necessary when vehicles with more than two axles have to be weighed. They are nevertheless advisable for all axle-weighing applications to guarantee best performance. For creating this height-adjusted area, the height modules WWSLM (WWSD/WWSE) are available, as well as pit frames WWSCTF (WWSC), WWSDTF (WWSD) and WWSETF (WWSE) for floor-level fixing of the platforms.

SELECTION OF THE LENGTH OF THE LEVELLED AREA

• The minimum length of the area depends on the type of vehicle to be weighed. For a vehicle with 5 axles, for example, the recommended length is 3.5 m before and after the platforms, so that both the axles of the tractor and those of the trailer are at the same level at the same time.
  

  NOTE: The best weighing conditions are achieved with a levelled area that is twice as long as the length of the longest vehicle to be weighed.

RULES FOR OPTIMAL USE OF THE AXLE WEIGHING SYSTEM IN STATIC MODE

1. The vehicle wheels must be correctly positioned within the centring bands so that contact with the surrounding area of the load plate is avoided.
2. When the vehicle is positioned, release the brake and switch off the engine.
3. Carry out the necessary weighing operations.
4. It is not recommended to weigh vehicles that have flat or nearly flat tyres.

RULES FOR OPTIMAL USE OF THE AXLE WEIGHING SYSTEM IN DYNAMIC MODE

1. Drive through at a constant and the lowest speed (5 km/h) and avoid braking during weighing.
2. It is not recommended to weigh vehicles that have flat or nearly flat tyres.
