VEI may not be a name you’re familiar with, but as one of the largest manufacturers globally of onboard weighing systems they’ve got a worldwide reputation. They operate in more than 92 countries and are installed on 59,600 machines. Sold in the UK exclusively via SiteZone Safety, the VEI weighing systems are suited to a multitude of vehicles.
Graeme Melvill, Business Lead for Onboard Weighing at SiteZone, comments:
“Well established in the UK are weighing systems for loading shovels and telescopic handlers. However, in February this year we launched a load pin weighing based system specifically for JCB Teletruks. Plus, VEI offers specialist load cell based weighing systems for material handlers to accurately weigh the load on the grab.”
With safety being at the core of our company, the benefit of real time accurate weighing data at your fingertips in the cab helps with right first time loading – no overload, no underload, and no repeated trips back from the weighbridge.
Simplicity, reliability, and ease of use are at the heart of the VEI products. But what does that mean for you?
Reliability
You want a weighing system that works consistently and accurately. VEI weighing systems come with a market-leading 3-year parts warranty for your peace of mind. And they’re proven to last even in the harshest conditions (yes, they really do use them at -20°). With a typical measuring accuracy of +/-1% you can be assured of the accuracy of the weight of the goods you are loading.
Simply does the job
The VEI onboard weighing systems have been designed to complete the jobs you need in the simplest way. User guided entry on-screen makes it easy for you to get your work done correctly and quickly. With a backlit colour display you can always see the screen even in strong light conditions (and we never thought sun glare would become such an issue in the UK!)
No hidden costs
The cost you’re quoted is the cost of ownership. There’s no annual calibration needed, and no need to have an annual subscription (unless you want access to the online data platform). At a time when we’re all faced with rising costs from materials, fuel, and machinery, it’s useful to have this long term visibility.
Graeme continues,
“Being able to help customers over the phone to self service is a big plus. We don’t hide the settings away from you behind a secret password, so you can manage your weighing system yourself. You can calibrate different tools, add customers and products, and record all this on an online system to generate your own reports for billing, inventory, sales analysis, and machine productivity.
The system has all the features you need to manage your site data, with options configurable to suit your requirements. Auto adding of individual bucket loads, count up accumulated total, and count down from a preset target, manage loads by product or customer, add destinations or carriers, even recipe weighing is included as standard, with last bucket live tip off also available on loading shovels.”
Connectivity
For customers that want a connected site the ipotweb online data platform can help you control, manage, and analyse your loading sites wherever you are from your phone, tablet, or computer. With multiple ways of transferring the data – wirelessly via Wi-Fi or cellular connection, or manually via a USB download, you can choose what suits your site best. If connecting wirelessly, data can be sent in real time and you can manage all your machines and customers in one place to generate sales orders, mange bills, track inventory, and analyse machine productivity.
