Heavy Duty Digital Customizable Tonnage Electronic Weighbridge Truck Scale¹

Product DescriptionProduct Introduction and Core advantagesThe above-ground truck scale (A Above-Ground Truck Scale) is a large static weighing instrument used in the industrial sector for weighing the total weight of trucks and goods. With its core feature of "no need for deep excavation of the foundation pit and convenient installation", it is widely applied in scenarios such as warehouses, logistics parks, factories, mines, ports, etc. It can accurately measure the total weight of vehicles ranging from 10t to 200t (the conventional range), and is a key equipment for goods settlement, load monitoring, and safety production.The floor-mounted truck scale has "fast installation, low maintenance cost, low overall cost, and high flexibility" as its core competitiveness. It has perfectly addressed the pain points of buried scales, such as "complex installation, prone to water accumulation, and difficult relocation", and is particularly suitable for industrial scenarios with high requirements for site adaptability, as well as those that pursue cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency.Core structure composition1.Supporting platform: Usually made of Q235 industrial carbon steel (or custom stainless steel) through welding, the platform thickness ranges from 8mm to 16mm (adjusted according to the measurement range), and the surface undergoes shot blasting rust removal and paint anti-corrosion treatment. It can withstand long-term rolling by heavy trucks, has strong resistance to deformation and corrosion; the platform length is mostly 6m to 18m (matching different vehicle models, such as 6m suitable for light trucks, 18m suitable for semi-trailer trucks), and the width is 3m to 3.4m (conforming to the standard lane width).2.Weighing sensor: Uses digital or analog weighing sensors (digital is preferred in industrial scenarios for stronger anti-interference capability), usually 4 to 8 in number (distributed according to the platform length), directly installed on the supporting beam below the platform, responsible for converting pressure signals into electrical signals, with an accuracy of OIML III level (International Legal Metrology Organization standard, error ≤ 0.01%).3.Weighing instrument: Industrial-grade liquid crystal display instrument, capable of real-time display of weight data, supporting "de-skidding, cumulative, storage, printing" functions, some high-end models can be connected to computers/PLC systems to achieve remote monitoring and management of weight data (such as connecting to enterprise ERP systems).4.Auxiliary components: Include ramp (facilitating vehicle access to and from the platform, usually made of steel structure or concrete, length 3m to 5m), guardrail (preventing vehicles from deviating from the platform), and junction box (summarizing sensor signals to ensure stable data transmission).The core advantages of above-ground truck scales1. Installation is convenient: time-saving and labor-saving, with low requirements for the site.No need to dig deep foundation pits (for underground type, a 1.5m-2m deep foundation pit needs to be excavated and waterproof and drainage treatment is required), only need to level and harden the ground (C30 concrete, thickness ≥ 200mm), place the weighing instrument, fix the sensor, and connect the instrument. The installation period only takes 3-7 days (for underground type, it usually takes 15-30 days).It can be combined with "mobile slope guide", if the site is later relocated, the weighing instrument and slope guide can be disassembled and moved as a whole, which is much more flexible than the underground type (the underground type has a fixed foundation pit and cannot be relocated).2. Maintenance is simple: reducing the later operation and maintenance costs.No risk of water accumulation in the foundation pit: For underground type weighing instruments, due to the infiltration of rainwater and groundwater, the sensor may short-circuit and the instrument may malfunction. While for the above-ground type weighing instrument, the "surface is higher than the ground", daily cleaning only requires washing the surface, and there is no need to regularly clean the foundation pit.Easy fault diagnosis: Sensors and junction boxes are located below the surface (not buried underground), if there is inaccurate weighing or abnormal signal, maintenance personnel can directly contact the components for repair without digging the foundation pit, reducing the maintenance time by more than 60% and lowering the operation and maintenance costs by 30%-50%.3. Cost is lower: saving both upfront investment and later operation and maintenance costs.Upfront cost: no need to spend on foundation pit excavation, waterproofing, and concrete pouring (the cost of the underground type foundation pit accounts for about 30%-40% of the total cost), the overall purchase and installation cost of the above-ground type is lower than that of the underground type by 20%-30%;Later cost: no additional expenses for foundation pit maintenance, water accumulation repair, etc., and the carbon steel surface is corrosion-resistant and durable, with an 8-10-year service life (equivalent to the underground type, but with lower operation and maintenance costs).4. Safety is high: reducing risks for vehicles and personnel.Safer vehicle passage: The weighing instrument surface is higher than the ground (usually 100mm-200mm), combined with the slope guide, the vehicle can pass on the surface more stably, avoiding the risk of vehicle tires getting stuck or scratched caused by the "ground level being the same as the foundation pit edge" in the underground type;Safe personnel operation: During daily inspection and cleaning, there is no need to enter the deep foundation pit (the underground type requires vigilance against oxygen deficiency and water accumulation in the foundation pit), reducing the risk of personnel operation.Parameter CategoryTypical Specification RangeDescriptionWeighing Capacity10t - 200tMainstream models: 30t, 50t, 80t, 100tAccuracy ClassOIML Class III / National Standard Class IIIEnsures weighing error meets industrial settlement standardsPlatform SizeLength: 6m - 18m, Width: 3m - 3.4mCustomizable according to target vehicle typesInstallation MethodPitless / Shallow Pit (only flat ground required)No deep excavation needed; minimal site damageEnvironmental Adaptability-20℃ - 60℃ (standard), IP67 sensorSuitable for outdoor, dusty, or humid environmentsApplication ScenariosThe above-ground truck scales are particularly suitable for the following scenarios due to their "flexible installation and low site requirements":? Temporary / Short-term Use Scenarios: such as temporary weighing at construction sites, rental projects (quick installation and disassembly, movable);? Site Constraints Scenarios: such as old factory areas, hardened ground sites (no need to damage the original ground and excavate pits);? Rainy / High Groundwater Level Areas: without pit design, it can avoid water backflow and pit water accumulation causing equipment damage;? High Frequency Weighing Scenarios: such as logistics parks, factory entrances (platform has strong bearing capacity, can withstand hundreds of vehicle passes per day).FAQHow to install the vehicle scale?WTWS has a complete standardized delivery process and documents.
