    Isostatic vs Iperstatic Weighbridge Design – White Paper

    Weightron Admin|11 April, 2022

    Why Weightron’s weighbridge design offers unrivalled performance

    The majority of weighbridge designs over 8 metres in length consist of separate modules supported on typically 6, 8 or 10 load cells. There are two methods of ‘joining’ or ‘interconnecting’ these modules to create a single structure – Isostatic and Iperstatic. This white paper explains the key differences between these two technologies and why Weightron’s solution provides optimum reliability and longevity.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a Weighbridge?

      A Weighbridge (US truck scale) is a large, low-profile scale used to weigh both road and off-road vehicles (rigid and articulated lorries, dumper trucks, vans etc) and their contents. The load carried by the vehicle is calculated by weighing the vehicle both empty and loaded. The main weighbridge deck structure can be constructed from steel, pre-stressed concrete or steel-concrete composite.

      What is a Pit-Mounted Weighbridge?

      Installed inside a pit, these weighbridges sit flush with the road surface. As they don’t require ramps, they take up less road surface compared to surface mount installations. Suitable for sites with restricted access.

      What is a Surface-Mounted Weighbridge?

      Installed above ground, these weighbridges incorporate steel or concrete ramps to allow vehicles to drive on and off. One advantage is that the ramps slow down vehicle entry speed. Less foundation works are required when compared with pit mount installations. Surface designs are suitable for temporary/portable installations when used with steel ramps.
