Weighbridge: Uses and Types
They’re ideal for weighing cars in transit as they transport goods in and out of manufacturing and distribution facilities. The platforms which we use for determining the weight of large vehicles such as trucks, trailers, buses, and buses is known as weighbridge. Usually used to determine the weight of industrial trucks and their contents at the same time. They are useful for making quick continuous vehicle measurements to record these parameters because many commodities are sold by weight.
This blog delves deeper into the three most common forms of them, as indicated below.Weighbridge above-ground surface
The one that are located above ground and those installed above ground are the most convenient and cost-effective. This is due to the fact that its setup does not necessitate any excavation or large civil works. Steel frames are commonly used, as they provide the rigidity and strength required to sustain big vehicles. Furthermore, because all of the components of this sort are above ground, it is simple to repair. Above-ground weighbridges, on the other hand, take up a lot more room than other types. They also need enough area on both the sides of the weighing for the truck and ground operators’ safety.
Weighing bridges in the Ground and in the Pit:
They’re all built into the ground and come in a variety of styles, including pit, semi-pit, flush, and in-ground weighbridges. Many in-ground weighbridges are built at the same level as the ground around the platform, while others are built below it.
Because they do not require ramps, in-ground weighbridges are ideal for areas with limited space. The platform is flat with the ground surrounding it, eliminating the need for ramps. Furthermore, the vehicles have complete freedom to approach the platform from any angle.Portable weighbridges also know as Weighing bridges on Wheels
This is popular in rural areas or for projects with many loading locations, such as logging and mining. On larger trucks or trailers, portable weighbridges can be fitted or mounted. If you have a large fleet, you can save a lot of money by weighing your vehicles on-site rather than going to the equipment. Furthermore, because portable weighbridge may be transported directly into an appropriate service centre, they are simple to maintain.
Conclusion
You can’t have a one-size-fits-all system if you want to promote precision in measurements. It is in use today and can be classed based on their ways of operation, construction, and many other factors.
