Mobile weighbridges are truck scales on wheels. They let you weigh vehicles on the move instead of needing them to drive onto a set platform.
—
Today's models use solid-state sensors and computer automation to capture the precise weight measurements of a passing truck, right down to the last gram. This means they have flexible weighing capabilities for the trucks, resulting in logistics and recycling companies finding them super valuable. Here are some key points to keep in mind when you choose mobile weighbridges.
Types of Mobile Weighbridges
Many different types of mobile weighbridges are used for weighing vehicles.
- Axle Weighbridges: Some speciality ones called axle weighbridges can weigh each axle or wheel separately. They help determine whether weight is distributed correctly so trucks aren't overloaded. Overloading isn't good—it can mess up safety and damage roads if trucks are too heavy.
- Surface-Mounted Weighbridges: These are practical and don't need a pit dug to install them. They just get set up on the ground, so they are way faster and easier to install than pit ones. Surface types work well when you need something temporary or semi-permanent. They are good for rental weighbridge services, construction sites, temporary logistics hubs, etc. Additionally, they are easy to put in and move, making them versatile for different applications.
- Pit-Mounted Weighbridges: The pit-mounted style requires digging a hole in the ground to install the scale flush with the surrounding surface. Vehicles can then drive directly onto the platform without bumps or gaps. It makes them very convenient in permanent locations with consistent weighing needs; however, installation is labour-intensive.
- Modular Weighbridges: These are assembled from interchangeable pre-fabricated pieces. Their portability suits temporary sites or places without a permanent scale. Set-up and take-down take little effort compared to creating an in-ground pit. However, modular scales may have small gaps between panels obstructing smooth vehicle access. Frequent relocations risk damaging the equipment over time.
Benefits of Mobile Weighbridges
- Portability: Portable weigh stations are super handy for temporary job sites. You can haul them wherever—construction zones, mines, etc. Plus, we can weigh trucks fast without slowing down work and setting up scales. It beats old-school platforms that required pouring concrete slabs and wrenching for days.
- Quick to install: Mobile weighbridges are pretty handy to have around. You can set them up quickly, so you don't waste time when you need to start weighing things. That way, the work doesn't pile up while you try to bolt down some gigantic scale.
- Cost-Effective: Mobile weighbridges save companies money compared to permanent ones that require infrastructure. You can set them up quickly where you need them, so they're great for temporary spots where having a permanent weighbridge doesn't make sense.
- Accurate Weighing: Although portable, these weighbridges still give accurate weights. The high-tech gadgets inside ensure vehicles are weighed correctly so businesses follow regulations and don't overload, leading to tickets and accidents.
- Versatility: These weighbridges also have versatility on their side. You can use them to weigh trucks moving livestock and materials in bulk. They make it handy for agriculture, construction, shipping, and transportation joints. Even better, you can easily move the weighbridges between different sites.
Conclusion
Mobile weighbridges are handy when you need to weigh things in different locations. Since they're portable, you can pack and drive them wherever needed and set them up quickly. Their biggest plus is flexibility—you don't need to build permanent scale platforms. Whether you're weighing dump trucks coming in and out of a construction site or weighing loads stored temporarily in a warehouse, these portable scales get the job done.
The whole point of using scales is to get precise measurements, and mobile weighbridges measure up. If you need to keep track of weights for legal or paperwork reasons, these movable scales will give you what you need.
