Over the years it built up a reputation as a reliable product favoured by many HGV operators and drivers. Subsequent to the launch of the Axalert™, the Limitlite™ product was introduced in 1984 to provide the same valuable information to Light Goods Vehicle drivers but in a simplified manner.
During the late 80’s Red Forge Ltd acquired the assets of Printed Resistor Products and used the technology gained to introduce the Warmawork™ product. This is a D.C. electric fan heater based on solid state heater technology designed specifically for the electric vehicle industry, and is resistant to vibration. Over the years this product has been recognised as very reliable and is supplied to many manufacturers of electric vehicles and associated cabin manufacturers. We still supply these heater units to various forklift manufacturers around the world.
In the mid 90’s the auto electrical re-manufacturing business was closed, and the company concentrated their efforts on the axle load indication and heater markets. This led to the rise of the current generation of weighing products, with new releases every few years as technologies changed and became more interactive. The Axalert™ 20/20 provided weight data in a memory function and its smaller brother, Limitlite™ Plus allowed GVW momnitoring on LCV’s for the first time. Vehicle Telematics compatibility (VTS) was added, allowing remote monitoring of a vehicle’s load condition.
In 2005, the company moved into larger premises to ease the increased throughput of vehicles being fitted. This allowed for increased investment in development, and the latest products from Red Forge Ltd are now better than ever before. The Axalert™ Plus system provides HGV’s with the same simple overload protection enjoyed by LCV’s, for those who need to keep fleet costs down but still require a high quality product and service. The Omniweigh™ system uses state of the art load cell technology, providing accurate payload information as well as Axle Load Prediction. In addition, the company’s range of ancillary products has now increased and includes latest technology, such as USB connections.
