Section 6 Weighbridge Specifications
Scale designs, ratings, capacities and your choices
The weighbridge, consisting of the scale deck modules, is an important part of the scale. With some fairly basic considerations, you can establish your requirements for a weighbridge that should last many years.
We previously discussed the two basic choices in weighbridge styles: steel deck versus concrete deck, and pit foundations versus above-ground configurations. Beyond these choices are capacity ratings, as well as duty cycle and lifecycle considerations. Some scale providers focus their sales presentations on the merits of their weighbridge. Keep in mind that weighbridges are rarely a source of ongoing ownership costs. While selecting a weighbridge that meets your needs is important, be cautious of being sold a more expensive model of weighbridge than you really need.
