AXLE MEASURING equipment manufactured by Peak Components Ltd, of Whaley Bridge, Cheshire, is to be offered by all Foden distributors.

The equipment, Loadax, is stated to have an accuracy of within 3 per cent, although, say Fodens, the true accuracy has been found to be within 1 per cent.

Installation will not be confined to just Foden vehicles — any make will be fitted with the equipment.

For the past three years output of Loadax units has been limited by production capacity, with the bulk being taken by the Swedish transport authorities, who now have 700 Loadax equipped vehicles in operation.

The first Foden distributor to be able to fit Loadax will be Transport Engineering Services at Avonmouth, Bristol.
