Weighing Loads Over 50 tonnes
Legal Weights and Metrology Set the max weight to 50 tonnes on weighbridges. Therefore many weighbridges will not weigh over 50 tonnes and an Error appears on the weight indicator – Error 5
In this situation you will require two TRPs to weigh the load:
- Contact Trimble to create a second TRP
- Unload the number of logs required to reduce the load to under 50 tonnes
- The logs should be unloaded under camera or into a sample bin where available or under the supervision of the weighbridge personnel
- Weigh the reduced load on original TRP
- Proceed to unload and then return to weigh out
- Re-Load the logs originally removed from the lorry
- Weigh as normal using the second TRP created by Trimble
- Artic lorries must NEVER be split weighed
