Container Weighing
Description
The Bromma Load Sensing System weighs containers with high accuracy as part of the normal lifting cycle.
The application can weigh individual containers when lifted, even in twin-mode. The system and weighing process will have no effect on the cycle time and operational flows in the terminal. The Bromma Load Sensing System provides increased safety during operation, certified and accurate weighing suitable for container weight verification, overload detection and eccentric lift detection. The Bromma Container Weighing system is certified (Type Approved) to OIML R51 as well as to 2014/32/EU (MID). For details about classification and characteristics related to the certification, please see special information document*.
*Document ”Application Description/Container Weighing” is available on www.bromma.com or from your local Bromma representative.
The customer specific set of data required is specified during installation of the system. Data available include i.a.:
- Total container weight under the spreader
- Weight of the left/right container (in twin-lift)
- Individual twistlock load
- Eccentricity under the spreader
- Eccentricity of the left/right container (in twin-lift)
- Eccentricity warning
