1. Essential concepts about weighing and weighbridges
To work more efficiently with weighing equipment like a weighbridge, you need to understand some fundamental concepts about the weighing process—it’s not as simple as it seems at first glance.
When using a weighbridge, you might not consider the many factors involved in the weighing process. Equipped with load cells sensitive to any change, weighing instruments can be affected by variables like gravity.
At first glance, you might assume all weighbridges are the same, with long platforms for weighing trucks. However, weighbridges vary in function and features. When choosing your weighbridge, it’s important to remember key weighing concepts such as capacity and division, ensuring the equipment meets your business’s needs.
2. Choosing a weighbridge
For every type of business, truck, cargo, and space, there’s an ideal weighbridge model. Weighbridges can be made from metal or a combination of metal and concrete, installed above or in-ground, and come in various sizes with different load cells to suit your business.
To choose the best weighbridge for your needs, it’s crucial to understand the options available in the market, identify the features that will benefit your business, and follow the steps we provide for the selection process.
3. Use and maintenance of weighbridges
Weighbridges are often subjected to constant use and exposure to elements like sun and rain, which naturally leads to wear and tear.
To extend your weighbridge’s lifespan, start by selecting one suited to your business’s needs and conditions, and ensure regular maintenance with cleanings and inspections.
Now that you’ve read our guide and learned everything you need to know about truck weighbridges, you’re ready to make more informed decisions about selecting and using your weighbridge effectively.
