The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is one of a
number of excellent schemes intended to drive up the professionalism of
commercial vehicle operators. For some customers it’s become a requirement in
order to win or maintain business.
Operators wishing to join the Scheme need to have in place a
number of systems one of which is a
system for ascertaining and recording dimensions and weights of laden vehicles
where they are likely to be an issue.
But if your vehicles need to be weighed, which is the best
system for doing that?
We know from experience that no one system will suit every
application. We even have customers who have more than one type of system
depending upon the circumstances at each location they work from.
With a vast range of systems , peripherals and software to
offer we can make sure customers get the best system for their needs. What suits a grocery distribution centre
running maximum weight artics to superstores will probably not be the best
system for a delivery company with an ever changing load throughout the day.
Or maybe a set of portable weighpads for doing spot checks or driver training is
what is needed.
Without taking proper advice it’s easy to end up with an
axle weighing system which only does part of the job or maybe none of it at
all.
