Group effort creates SafetyTrax™— hi-tech truck monitoring for improved fleet performance

Rice Lake, WI-- September 9th, 2010: Rice Lake Weighing Systems, Pressure Pro and Safety Vision, LLC have merged technologies to create SafetyTrax, a completely new way to monitor vehicle and fleet performance. This web-based system hosted by Safety Vision ties together each vehicle’s computerized diagnostics with video monitoring and global positioning systems (GPS) and adds the function of PressurePro’s tire pressure monitoring and Rice Lake’s on-board vehicle weighing systems. It’s a feature-rich solution that’s currently unlike any other on the market, and will provide fleet owners with a tangible return on investment through fuel savings, extended tire life, reduced downtime, and improved driver performance.

Made possible through cellular and satellite technology, SafetyTrax gives fleet owners 24/7 online access to real-time vehicle data including vehicle identification, start/stop times and durations, speed, location, weight, tire pressure, mechanical failures and more. Dispatch offices can receive instant alerts on a variety of problems and download data for up to six months. Among the many obvious benefits is better visibility of the on-board weighing system. Tom Kendall of Rice Lake Weighing Systems is enthusiastic about what SafetyTrax has to offer. “Theft of payload is a multi-billion dollar problem for fleet operators worldwide. This system adds a new level of security for cargo transport, in addition to the element of safety provided by overload warning, load shifting, and tire pressure monitoring,” he says. External access to real-time weight information will assist fleet owners in accounting for each and every pound they transport as well as the avoidance of costly overload fines and any potential liability concerns.

For more information about how SafetyTrax could be incorporated into your fleet, contact Tom Kendall at Rice Lake Weighing Systems, 1-800-472-6703.

Rice Lake Weighing Systems is a family-owned, ISO 9001 certified corporation, with headquarters, metrology laboratory and main manufacturing plant in Rice Lake, WI. Additional manufacturing facilities are located in Jasper, AL. and Newtown, CT.
