T.N.T. Overland collaborated with Integrated Visual
Data Technology in the testing and development of
their on-board weighing device. Trade name, "SkidWeigh
System".
This was ongoing for a period of 6 months. The test
results were extremely satisfactory and exceeded
the manufacturers projections.
In our particular application, we used the equipment
for weight checking suspect shipments.
Based on these numbers, the payback period per unit
is approximately nine working days. We found the
equipment easy to operate (no operators training
required) and maintenance free.
Manitoulin Transport began a trial test run on April
1, 1996 with one "SkidWeigh" tow motor
indicator. The ability of the unit to indicate an
approximate weight as close to the actual weight
as possible allows minimal disruption to the flow
of the dock operation. It allows the tow motor operator
to use the legal for trade platform scale only when
necessary instead of repeated scaling of freight
on a random basis.
Our results have indicated the "SkidWeigh"
tow motor indicator can add approximately $240.00
per day, per unit to the revenue bottom line. Within
10 to 11 days the units cost is retrieved in full.
In our experience, we have found the equipment to
be durable and suitable for a transport company's
dock operation. The unit is very easy to use with
minimal training of the tow motor operators.
Overall, the "SkidWeigh" tow motor indicator
is an efficient piece of equipment for the transport
environment and would recommend it to all transport
companies.
