EN-33. OPERATIONOperating Limits Although the weighing platforms have extremely rugged construction, certain load limits must not be exceeded. Depending on the type of loading, the maximum safe static load, i.e. the maximum admissible loading is:Model(1) MaximumCentral Load(2) MaximumSide Load(3) One SideCorner LoadVF…-CS/DS300 1000 800 400VF…-CS/DS/E/ES600 3000 2000 1000 Avoid falling loads, shocks and lateral impacts! The load plate of the weighing platform is the active weighingcomponent, the approach ramps are passive, i.e. in the weighingoperation all wheels of the conveying vehicle must be on theload plate. The air gap between load plate and the approach ramps must befree. It is thus essential, particularly when weighing granular orsmall sized weighing samples, to check the gap at regularintervals and keep it free.4.
