Hy-Dynamix has launched a new portable container weighing solution to help shippers comply with the new rules on verified gross mass (VGM) that enter into force on 1 July. Hy-Weigh can weigh containers up to 35 tonnes and uses four corner hydraulic elevation jacks, raising the container in situ and displaying the weight in increments of 50kg via a digital read-out.
Hy-Weigh was introduced to the market during the Multimodal show in Birmingham this week.
“We have designed a product which is simple, easy to use and reliable, with no complex software or electronics,” says Graeme Parkins, managing director of Hy-Dynamix and its parent company, Dyer Engineering.
“Hy-Weigh removes the need for dedicated container craneage weighing systems or weighbridges, and it is easily deployed and moved around a facility.”
Using four, corner hydraulic elevation jacks, Hy-Weigh simply elevates
the Container to allow a simple weighing process to take place. Hy-Weig has the capability to weigh a loaded container before
transportation and displays the weight as a digital read-out for recording of verified gross mass on your shipping documentation.
Hy-Weigh removes the need for dedicated Container craneage and is
easily deployed and moved within your facility, as all of the equipment is self-contained on its own specially designed pallet. It utilises simple colour coding systems to identify the corners of the Container and the control panel allows for individual corner raising and lowering. The process takes approximately 10 minutes to deploy the system and move a Container.
