New VPG On-Board Weighing Video Highlights Features and Capabilities of Tuffer™ Wheel Loader Scale
MALVERN, PA--(Marketwire - Feb 20, 2012) - Vishay Precision Group, Inc. (
The video explores how retrofitting equipment with Tuffer can increase efficiency and profitability in a variety of operations, including quarries, mining sites, docks, railcar loading sites, solid waste transfer stations, and more. With Tuffer, users ensure loading to the maximum legal weight at the point of loading, eliminating overweight fines and commercial scale fees as well as check weighing and reloading. In addition, the loading scale allows users to haul more tons per trip and prevent hauling tonnage in excess of contracted weights.
Known by its users to offer the best value of any loader scale available, Tuffer's ease of operation allows loader operators to quickly utilize its features to efficiently perform a wide range of tasks. The online video explores features such as last bucket tip-off; target weight loading; reweigh capabilities; multiple calibration storage; and an optional in-cab tape printer.
The new video is available now on the VPG On-Board Weighing website, at [ http://www.vishaypg.com/onboard-weighing/videos/ ].
VPG's factory-trained dealers can install Tuffer at the customer's facility and provide operator training and after-sales service as required. Further information about Tuffer and other VPG On-Board Weighing products is available at [ www.obwvpg.com ].
