INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY!
Load Out & Haul MORE Tons/Day

The Tuffer Weigh-In-Motion Bucket Loader Scale will provide the information 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. Onboard 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 existing Bucket Loaders which gives you the opportunity to increase your
capability and efficiency while eliminating material loss due to overloading without knowing it. Accurate loading
also eliminates stopping at a public scale or getting overload fines the reduce profits.
With the optional printer installed you can get all the weight data printed at the pit and eliminate the extra
step of weighing at a central scale. This saves time and money.


 

 

Benefits

  • Load maximum legal loads at the loading point
    the first time loaded-haul more tons per trip
  • Save time loading, waiting to check weigh and
    reloading – haul more loads per day
  • Eliminate overweight fines
  • Reduce commercial scale fees
  • Stop hauling free tonnage and giving material away - weight in excess of the contracted weight
   

Tuffer weigh-in-motion bucketloader scale gives you the information you need when you need it.

The System
The Tuffer weigh-in-motion loader scale is designed to operate on any type and size loader. The system uses pressure sensors to measure changes in hydraulic pressure which are directly proportional to the load being lifted. The output of the pressure sensors are interpreted by the Digital Meter, mounted in the cab of the loader near the operator, and provides the display. Tuffer’s easy to read liquid crystal display (LCD) with built in back light display the individual lift weights and cumulative total by material, truck or other preferences. The meter has internal firmware that displays on screen user prompts throughout all functions, making operation fast and friendly. Tuffer weigh-in-motion is equipped with a two second last bucket tip-off function, making it much faster and easier to get the loaded weight correct the first time.


Tuffer comes complete with all parts required for installation.


Optional Printer
A tape printer, shown on left, is available as an option. The printer uses standard size, 21/4”, 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.
