  • Patent number: 5773768
    Abstract: A transport, such as a truck, has an on-board weighing device, which has at least two weighing frames for supporting a load, such as a container and its content, to be weighed. Each weighing frame is suspend relative to a transport chassis either directly or indirectly with a supporting frame, using at least one connecting element, which includes a load cell for measuring the weight of the load. The weighing frames, supporting frames, and connecting elements form a weighing unit that can be connected to the transport chassis. The weighing unit can include a separate lifting device for lifting the load away from the chassis, but is not always needed. A locking load stabilizer can be included to stabilize the load during transporting, loading, or unloading. The stabilizer can eliminate the need for a separate lifting device.

  • Patent number: 5578798
    Abstract: A weighing device is mounted to a frame or chassis of a vehicle, particularly a truck. The weighing device comprises at least two weighing frames for supporting a load, such as a container and its content, to be weighed. Each weighing frame is connected to the vehicle chassis, either directly or through a supporting frame. Connecting elements are connected to the weighing frames and the vehicle chassis or the supporting and supports the weighing frames. The connecting elements have load cells to measure the weight of the load. Lifting devices are operatively connected to the weighing frames to lift the entire load away from the from the chassis during weighing, where the load is supported or suspended entirely by the connecting elements. The weighing frames, the supporting frames, the connecting elements, and the lifting devices together from a weighing unit that can be connected to the vehicle chassis.

  • Patent number: 5344272
    Abstract: A transporter, such as a garbage truck, a forklift truck, an exchangeable trough for a truck or the like, is provided with a loading and tilting mechanism which is slidingly, rollingly or pivotably connected with the transporter for lifting a container or the like and emptying it in the transporter or another transporter. The loading and tilting mechanism includes engaging members which are mounted on an auxiliary frame which, by means of at least two coupling members, is connected with a main frame. The main frame is supported by the transporter or is part of it. In the coupling members, a device is present for measuring the load exerted on the coupling members so that a container supported by the auxiliary frame can be weighed.

  • Patent number: 5174404
    Abstract: Mobile weighing device such as a device for mounting on a truck. Said device comprises a framework and a loadingframe which are flexible connected to each other by means of connecting elements being connected to said parts by means of universal joints. Said joints are integrated into power receiving members which are formed by or are forming part of said connecting elements so that said joints are positioned at a minimum distance from each other. The load indicator, present in said power receiving member is positioned outside the space between said two universal joints.
