Weighing and loading first, then fitting and setup. If your question is not here, our team will answer it directly.
Ask a questionWeighing and loading
How accurate is BulkWeigh?
BulkWeigh is accurate to within ±1% of payload across the vehicle's whole weight range.
Is there a phone app in case the driver has to leave the cab during loading?
Yes. The VPG Connect WiFi app lets drivers and operators monitor loading remotely. For sites where mobile phones cannot be used, there is also the 511 FreeWeigh handheld radio unit.
Can the system record multiple collections or deliveries?
Yes. The Load/Deliver function records multiple deliveries and collections, with running totals printed on the optional printer.
Does the system have a printer?
Yes. A printer is available as an option.
Is the system approved for charging by weight?
No. If you plan to charge customers by weight, you need our LFT 1500 system.
Fitting and setup
Can I fit the system myself?
BulkWeigh is fitted between the vehicle's chassis and its body, and this can need extra fabrication work. We recommend using a vehicle body builder. Contact us and we can recommend one.
How is the system calibrated?
With a simple phone call. A member of our service team walks you through the process.
Can it connect to telematics or other on-board systems?
Yes. BulkWeigh has an RS232 serial port for connecting to other systems such as vehicle telematics.
