The Scrap Industry
A Danish crane company wanted to develop a full automatic big bag
system, where a crane was to be able to lift, empty, throw away, and pick
up a new big bag without any manual help.
The system consisted of:
Load pin.
Transmitter and receiver.
The system was able to measure the weight on the crane, and thereby tell
the crane when to move on to the next step in the process.
The automated work processes did not only make the company more
efficient, it also increased the safety, as human mistakes no longer
affected the system.

When a floating doc sank at an industrial port the shipping
company J. A. Rederiet was assigned the job to lift the
floating dock safely from the ocean.
In order to get a precise overview of the lift and secure that
the two cranes lifted equally and didn’t overload J. A.
Rederiet used a solution consisting of:
Two custom made load pins installed in the two cranes.
Two displays connected to the load pins.
Furthermore, Vetec’s Dynamometer was used to calibrate
the cranes before the lift.
Sunken Floating Dock

When CT Offshore installed cables in new wind turbine
towers near the English coast, the company wanted to be able
to release the right amount of cable and thereby avoid costly
damages and make the process more efficient.
The system consisted of:
Load pin that measured the force in the cables from a winch
in the wind turbine tower.
The load pin was connected to two displays and two
computers that ran a custom-made software.
Before all data had to be collected manually and radio contact between the ship and the wind turbine
was required. The wireless connection between the ship and the wind turbine made it possible to
automatically follow the constant force in the cables, both from the ship and the wind turbine tower.

Offshore Solution for Ships
When a Liquid Pressure Gas Ship lays off the dock and
offloads its gas, it needs to be sure that the rope is safely tied
to the dock.
Vetec’s custom-made solution measures the pull in the ropes,
and thereby tell if the ship is safely docked.
The system consists of:
Two load pins
One remote control or a display
The pull in the ropes can be shown on a large display or a
small display on a remote control.

Weighing Solution for Two Overhead Travelling Cranes
When a crane company needed to lift an object that weighed
57T with two overhead travelling cranes that each was able to
lift 30T, the company used a custom-made solution from Vetec.
The solution consisted of:
Two displays
Two load pins
One remote control
The solution gave a precise overview of the lift and made sure
that the two cranes lifted equally and didn’t overload.
When a crane company had to lift a large object with a 20T overhead travelling
crane that had two cats, the company used a custom-made weighing solution
from Vetec.
The system consisted of:
Two load pins
Three displays
One remote control
The system was able to measure the weight of the two cats. The weight of the two cats were
then shown on each of the two displays. The last display showed the total weight of the two
cats. In addition, the system could also prevent the over head travelling crane from being
overloaded.

The system was developed in close cooperation with the
company, Albjerg's Maskintec A/S. Knowing the exact
weight of the load, it is possible to deliver precisely and
quickly, according to customer specifications.
The system consists of 3 units:
Load cells mounted on the truck’s chassis frame.
A junction box that collects the signals from the load
cells and transmits the results to a display or a printer.
The solution’s uniqueness is the ability to transmit the weighing results to the remote control that
controls the truck's pump or lift system and enables a very accurate delivery. Vetec's weighing system
is quick and easy to install, and it makes weighbridges unnecessary.

The Scrap Industry
Vetec’s special developed Scrap System is a simple and easily
manageable system that gives an exact overview of the scrap load.
After loading the truck , the driver prints a bon that contains date, time
and a list of every single load as well as the overall scrap load.
The system consists of :
A load pin mounted in the crane
Small printer with a display that is placed in the cab.
The load pin has a robust construction and a range from 5T to 250T
Features:
Easy installation
Easy to determine the exact load of the truck
Prevents the truck from overloading
Weighing of the truck is unnecessary
Saves time and money
