JCB has unveiled its innovative Intelliweigh system for selected wheeled loader models, marking a significant advancement in equipment technology.
- The system enhances efficiency by reducing cycle times and optimising load handling, even under challenging ground conditions.
- Designed for versatility, Intelliweigh is compatible with ten different attachments, making it suitable for various operational contexts.
- Advanced features such as GPS integration provide real-time data, refining material tracking and productivity monitoring on-site.
- Operators benefit from ease of use and enhanced safety features, including optional real-time feedback on vehicle load capacities.
The introduction of JCB’s Intelliweigh system marks a notable development in the field of heavy loaders, specifically designed for the 427, 437, and 457 wheeled loader models. This factory-fitted, digital system is part of JCB’s waste & controls option package, offering a comprehensive on-board weighing solution. Its capability to weigh loads accurately across multiple attachments is a key feature, improving efficiency by reducing cycle times and maximising throughput.
One of the most striking attributes of the Intelliweigh system is its adaptability to various attachments, including forks and buckets, while maintaining a +/-2% accuracy rating. It features a 7” ergonomic touchscreen display, complemented by physical keys to enhance usability, which ensures the system remains user-friendly even in demanding operational environments.
Further enhancing its functionality, Intelliweigh incorporates an integrated GPS system. This provides precise productivity tracking, coupled with material location capabilities, allowing site managers to monitor stock levels and the distribution of materials in real-time. Such features are pivotal for ensuring operational efficiency and maintaining accurate inventory records.
The system’s ability to act as a split-weighing device is another innovative feature. This enables operators to manage and weigh multiple vehicles simultaneously within a site, ensuring uniform and complete loading. By setting individual targets for vehicles, the risk of overloading is significantly reduced, and overall productivity is maintained.
The Intelliweigh system is not only about weighing; it also contributes to operator convenience. An onboard printer is available for producing weight tickets from the cab, enhancing record-keeping. In addition, data from Intelliweigh can be automatically uploaded to customer systems, providing live updates on efficiency and production, which is crucial for continuous operational assessment.
JCB’s Intelliweigh system exemplifies a forward-thinking approach in loader technology, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
