According to a new amendment to the Safety Of Life At Sea regulation (SOLAS), shippers are required to provide carriers with a Verified Gross Mass (VGM) for each laden container before it can be loaded onto a ship.
Our solution
Konecranes Static Weighing System allows your reach stacker to hydraulically measure the weight of the lifted container with 1% full scale accuracy in less than 5 seconds. Konecranes Static Weighing System will interchange data seamlessly with other systems via two different solutions:
1. In-cab connectivity service, or
2. YourKonecranes cloud services.
How does it work?
When the container is lifted in transport position and held still, the driver can initiate the weighing process from the truck's multi-touch control display inside the cabin. The Verified Gross Mass (VGM) of the container is then sent to the in-cab modem which communicates with your other system devices and services.
YourKonecranes
YourKonecranes is a secure, cloud based service that enables seamless integration between the weighing system and your TOS/TMS or ERP systems.
Information transferred through the service includes
• Verified Gross Mass (VGM) of the container
• Container ID
• Time/Date stamp
• Name of the person accountable for weight verification
Retrofit
The Konecranes Static Weighing System is available for retrofitting on existing Konecranes machines - B and C models.
