Onboard weighing for gritters and winter road maintenance.

Prevent overloading, carry the maximum legal payload and treat more road per trip, even when salt, pre-wet and de-icer are loaded at different depots along the route.

Mixed loads of salt, pre-wet and de-icer.

To treat roads flexibly as traffic and weather change, a gritter is often loaded with several materials of different weights at the same time: salt, pre-wet and liquid de-icing agent. These are frequently picked up at multiple locations along the route, which can easily push the vehicle close to, or over, its legal or designed weight limit.

At the same time, every extra trip to a loading station costs time and can leave roads untreated. That is why overload protection and load optimisation have become must-have features on modern gritters.

Most clients who took part in the trial said VanWeigh and TruckWeigh systems helped them avoid overload endorsements, as well as maximise payload capacity and reduce vehicle wear and tear.

Up to half a tonne more payload per gritting run.

Most gritter operators choose highly accurate load cell based systems. They are roughly 2% more accurate than basic overload protection, which can add up to about half a tonne of extra payload. That means fewer trips and better road treatment.
