    Weightron Admin|4 April, 2022

    Whether you’re looking for a straightforward weighbridge with a weight indicator and printer, or a more complex integrated weighbridge management system, Weightron’s Weighbridge Technology white paper is the place to start your search.

    It explains the key design features of different weighbridge types and is designed to help you make an informed choice of the type of weighbridge that is best for your application.

    The paper outlines the critical building blocks that can make up a modern, fully integrated, weighbridge management system, including driver-operated terminals, traffic barriers, ANPR cameras, radiation detection systems and the all-important local and cloud-based software.

    …and finally, to ensure long term reliability for your weighbridge system, the importance of structured servicing and support is explained, including how our Nexia cloud-based predictive maintenance solution takes reliability to a whole new level.

      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.
