Weigh-In-Motion Loader Scales

Increase ProductivityLoad Out and Haul More Tons

Tuffer
Tuffer Weigh-In-Motion Loader Scales will provide the
information needed to load maximum weights faster,
and keep trucks moving without going to a central scale
location and back to the pit. This means you get increased
productivity on every load, every day. On-board scales
make it easer and faster to load accurate weights every
time, and Tuffer is designed to do the job and survive
the rugged environments found in quarry and other
loading operations.
The Tuffer can be installed on most loaders, giving you
the opportunity to increase your capability and efciency
while eliminating material loss due to overloading. Accurate
loading also eliminates stops at public scales, and overload
nes that the reduce prots.
With installation of the optional printer, you can get all the
weight data printed in the cab, saving time and money.

The System

Tuffer comes complete with all parts required for installation.

The Tuffer Weigh-in-Motion loader scale is designed to

operate on most types and sizes of loaders. The system
uses pressure sensors to measure changes in hydraulic
pressure that are directly proportional to the load being
lifted. The output of the pressure sensors is interpreted by
the digital meter, mounted in the cab of the loader near the
operator. The meters easy-to-read LCD with built-in back
light, displays the individual lift weights and cumulative
total by material, truck, or other preferences. Internal
rmware provides on-screen user prompts throughout
all functions, making operation fast and friendly. Tuffer is
equipped with a two-second last bucket tip-off function
that makes it faster and easier to get the loaded weight
correct the rst time.

Optional Printer
A tape printer is available as an option. The printer uses standard, 2.25-inch
adding-machine paper, and requires 12 to 24 Volts dc power. The printer
displays time and date, a 12-character truck ID and loader ID, the truck total,
and the long load.
