Weigh Bridges
Weigh Bridges
Weigh bridges, also known as Truck scales, are large scales designed to weigh vehicles such as trucks, both when empty and when loaded, to calculate the load carried by the vehicle. These scales are typically used in industries like logistics, agriculture, construction, and manufacturing to ensure compliance with weight regulations, prevent overloading, and manage inventory accurately. Truck scales can be surface-mounted or pit-mounted, depending on the space and operational requirements.
BWS-W.BRIDGE
The Weighbridge is fabricated from modular orthotropic U- beams welded to anti chequer steel plates and is fitted with 4, 6, or 8 hermetically sealed compression type or beam digital or analog load cells.
The capacities range from 20,000kg to 100,000kg. The deck dimensions depend on usage and may range from 6m -21m in length with a standard width of 3000mm. The weighbridge may be either pit or surface mounted depending on customer requirements and availability of space. The weighbridge is fitted either to a digital indicator with an alphanumeric keyboard and a printer or a simple indicator and a PC loaded with Bytronics WeighSOFT weighbridge weighing software and a printer.
Features
- Weighbridges are fully welded type and moduorthotropiclar for ease of handling during transportation and installation.
- The orthotropic beams are 220-250mm deep and require shallow pits which are cheaper to construct and easier to drain.
- The weighbridges are fitted with service plates at each load cell location for maintenance purposes
- The load cells are OIML certified, current calibrated making it easier to calibrate with little or no corner trimming to achieve equal loading on the weighbridge platform.
- Well protected by being blast cleaned and painted.
- The whole weighbridge structure is earthed at all the load cell plates to protect from lightning strikes.
- Where the load cells do not have inbuilt surge protection such as the beam type a lightning protection unit is incorporated within or outside the junction box.
