LFT1500Legal-for-trade onboard weighing for invoicing from the cab.
Weigh at the point of collection and bill your customer on the spot. LFT1500 is approved to OIML R76 and accurate to 20 kg in 15,000 kg.
Approved trade invoicing from the cab
If your business charges by weight, your invoices are only as good as the weighing system behind them. LFT1500 from VPG Onboard Weighing is a legal-for-trade onboard weighing system, approved to OIML R76, the international standard for the accuracy of non-automatic weighing equipment.
Pay-by-weight systems have to meet strict standards for accuracy, reliability and repeatability before they can be certified, so few onboard products hold this approval. LFT1500 does. Drivers can weigh at the point of collection and raise the invoice there and then, which makes billing faster and easier to manage.
Load cells between chassis and body, corrected for tilt
LFT1500 uses four, six or eight load cells mounted between the vehicle chassis and the body. Each cell handles up to 22,000 kg.
A flexible mounting bracket, unique to LFT1500, works with an inclinometer on the chassis to compensate for tilt of up to 10 degrees. That is how the system holds its accuracy when a truck is parked on a slope at a customer's site.
Every weight is recorded on the optional data storage device, so each charge can be traced back to the lift or load it came from.

High-capacity cells, flexible mounting and a chassis inclinometer deliver 20 kg in 15,000 kg, with tilt compensation up to 10 degrees.

Pay-by-weight for waste, recycling and bulk haulage
Any operator that charges by weight can use LFT1500 to bill at the point of collection or delivery. It is most often fitted to waste and recycling fleets and to bulk haulage vehicles.
Because the system is certified, the weight on the ticket is the weight you can charge for. No trip to a weighbridge, no estimate to argue over later.
