PT300DW™ Wheel Load Scales for Agriculture

PT300DW™ Wheel Load Scales for Agriculture

The Intercomp PT300DW™ wide wheel scale is the most modern solution for accurate axle and wheel weighing of agricultural machinery, heavy vehicles, and special equipment. It is specifically designed to provide reliable, portable, and extremely precise weight data for efficient operation, load distribution optimization, and regulatory compliance. This robust system is an ideal choice for vehicles with wider tracks or special wheels where standard weigh pads do not provide adequate stability or coverage.

Key Features and Advantages

The PT300DW™ weighing system combines portability with industrial-grade accuracy, ensuring users can perform reliable measurements quickly, anywhere.

• Wide Profile Design: The „DW” (Dual Wheel) designation indicates that this model is specifically suitable for weighing vehicles with wider tracks or dual-wheel setups, maximizing stability and measurement surface area.
• Portability and Quick Setup: The lightweight, robust design allows for quick setup and transport between various sites, whether it's a farm field, depot, or warehouse.
• High Accuracy: Intercomp weighing systems are renowned for their precision, which is essential for accurately determining weight distribution, especially with high-performance agricultural machinery.
• Robust Design: Built to withstand the rigors of the harsh agricultural environment, including dust, moisture, and mechanical stress.
• Integrability: Compatible with Intercomp's wide range of displays, converters, and software, enabling easy recording and analysis of measurements.

Technical Specifications

The technical specifications of the PT300DW™ wide wheel scale ensure reliable performance even in the most demanding applications.

Agricultural Applications Details

The PT300DW™ scale system is a crucial tool for modern agricultural businesses where weight data is critical for efficiency and safety.

1. Load Distribution Optimization

The weight distribution of high-performance tractors, combine harvesters, and other self-propelled machinery significantly affects ground pressure, traction performance, and tire lifespan. With the help of the PT300DW™:

• Soil Compaction Measurement: Axle load can be precisely determined, minimizing soil compaction, which improves soil structure and future year's yields.
• Auxiliary Weight Adjustment: Allows for optimal placement of auxiliary weights (e.g., nose weights) for the best traction and stability, especially under heavy soil conditions.

2. Vehicle Maintenance & Lifespan

Overloading drastically reduces the lifespan of vehicles and components. The system helps verify that machines do not exceed the maximum axle loads specified by the manufacturer.

• Tire Lifespan: Correct loading ensures even tire wear, resulting in significant cost savings.
• Running Gear Inspection: Helps identify unbalanced loads that can lead to premature running gear and suspension failures.

3. Transport & Logistics Compliance

Although primarily an agricultural tool, the PT300DW™ is also excellently suited for weight checks occurring during transport tasks.

• Self-Propelled Feed Mixers: Precise measurement for setting mixing ratios, ensuring compliance with feeding specifications.
• Seeding and Fertilizer Spreaders: Accurate load measurement is essential for calibrating the amount of material applied.
• Transport Restrictions: Allows checking if transport weights comply with road regulations, thus avoiding fines.

Integrated Solutions and Accessories

The flexibility of the PT300DW™ system lies in its wide range of available accessories, enabling full customization to user needs.

Displays & Data Management

For processing and recording measurements, Intercomp offers several advanced displays:

• Wireless Displays (RFX®): Allow the operator to read weight data from a safe distance while positioning the vehicle.
• Indicators with Software: Advanced displays often include built-in software for storing weight data, generating reports, and comparing previous measurements. This function is crucial for logging and auditing.

Calibration and Maintenance Tools

For continuous accuracy, Intercomp's offer also includes the necessary calibration tools, such as the force testing stand, with which regular inspection and certification of the load cells can be carried out on-site or under laboratory conditions.

Summary

The Intercomp PT300DW™ Wide Wheel Scale represents the peak of agricultural weight management. Its robust construction, outstanding accuracy, and portability make it the ideal choice for any professional seeking uncompromising reliability in load measurement. This device is not just a measuring tool, but a strategic asset for increasing operational efficiency and the long-term protection of the machinery fleet.
