Scales

Cleral USA On Board Scales Reflex Basic and SIM

This is done in real-time, even while driving. The system can manage three groups of lift axles independently. The SIM control raises and lowers the air pressure of the lift axle in accordance with legal load limits. The operator does not have to worry about adjusting the axles to prevent overloads. The system will also adjust for terrain to improve traction and raise lift axles when in reverse and lower them again at a preset forward speed. 866-901-7372; www.cleral-usa.com.
