Abstract

See full text

In the field of off-highway trucks, overloading and disproportionate load placement lead to undesirable vehicle stresses. The present invention pertains to an apparatus for displaying the distribution of the load, in an off-highway truck, to both the truck operator and the loader operator. The information is conveyed to the operators using displays having varying color ranges generally indicative of the load in portions of the dump body of the truck. Using this tool the truck operator attains optimum positioning of the truck prior to and during the loading cycle, while the loader operator directs loads to portions of the dump body having lower displayed loads.
