Weighbridge (Truck Scale)

Description

Weighbridge:

A weighbridge is a huge set of bathroom scales meant for weighing heavy loads and vehicles like trucks and is made out of steel, concrete, or a mix of two. The measuring scales are connected to a readout or a digital weight indicator that displays the exact weight. The basic one looks like a slightly elevated platform that is not too high and the inclined planes in the front and back help the heavy vehicles to climb up easily.

At the heart of any weighing system, lies the load cells. These load cells are extremely accurate transducers and are responsible for measuring the weight of the load. It is important to choose the correct load cell, otherwise, if a wrong load cell is paired with an inferior assembly and weighbridge, the performance will be extremely poor. Failures and extreme loss of revenue will be constant.
