    Weighbridge Upgrades – a Cost Effective Solution

    Weightron Admin|20 June, 2016

    Weighbridges represent a significant investment and, with regular servicing and maintenance, should provide reliable service for at least 10 years or more. However, the data now required from today’s weighbridges has changed considerably over the past five years, and this can make older instrument technology outdated even though the weighbridge structure itself is sound.

    If this is the case, upgrading your weighbridge to the latest load cell and instrument technology can represent a very cost effective solution. Upgrades can usually be carried out with minimum disruption to site operation, so keep reading to find out more about the solutions we offer here at Weightron.

      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.
