The article provides a sneak peek on weighbridges, its types, capacity and benefits of the same. Read the post to explore more about the same.

1. Weighbridges: What Is It All About?
Weighbridges play a crucial role in the process related industries, it acts
as an important point of control for vehicles that arrive or leave the
sites. The conventional concept of weighbridge has undergone a sea
change; the emphasis is shifted to encompass and improve the key areas
like vehicle management and site security coupled with overall
improvement in the system and integration of
system-site wide, internationally and nationwide.
Axle load scales can easily weigh one or two axle
in a stipulated time frame, while full length truck
scales can be portable or can be installed
permanently.
Portable truck scales tend to be placed on a
smooth surface that can be slab, wooden beam,
etc. Portable scales are expensive because of the
framework. But the biggest benefit is one can easily move it from one
place to another and it is ideal for road builders or contractors. Scales
can be permanently mounted or above ground. The main benefit of a pit
scale is there is no additional requirement of ramps both entry and exit,
snow will not get accumulated. Moreover, the cost of a pit kind of scale
tends to be more in contrast to cost of excavation and pit construction.
Weighbridge manufacturers in India think that in case you are planning
to buy a weighbridge for an operation, it is essential to take into account
below mentioned factors:
Amount of weighing that is expected
Kind of vehicle
Whether it is a part of weighbridge or not
Weight of weighbridge
For instance in case of pit less type of weighbridge can be used in a rocky
land or where there is an unsteady surface or there is a problem of
water logging. In a similar vein, pit type of weighbridge requires less
space and the ramps are also not required for loading and unloading of
the vehicles.

2. Electronic weighbridge is also called as part length weighbridge. This
kind of weighbridge finds its application in agriculture tractor and trailer
combinations and in brick manufacturing unit. Other kinds of
weighbridge include concrete deck, full electronic, bumper, concrete
deck, steel deck, check rod resistant, etc. Steel deck requires less labor,
less cost and is durable. Electromechanical requires simple wiring and
the greatest benefit is less power is required and is less susceptible to
damage. Check rod don’t requires excessive maintenance and don’t
allow movement in the weighbridge. The feature of good weighbridge is;
it is highly accurate, auxiliary display, less power consumption and less
response time.
There are innumerable manufacturers and suppliers of electronic
weighbridges; all you need to do is to select the right one. It is in your
interest to select the manufacturer that offers complete reliability in
involved operations and offers you heavy- duty load cells. Further, these
manufacturers provide weighbridge according to the customized

scales- first with normal capacity and second with concentrated load
capacity.
