Portable Weighbridge Increases Council Loading Efficiency
Accuweigh’s QWM Branch recently supplied a low profile portable weighbridge to Dubbo City Council to ensure legal axle loadings are achieved before the trucks are weighed out over the very busy quarry weighbridge.
Pre-weighing trucks axle weights on portable weighbridges ensures they are legally loaded with maximum weight thus eliminating delays caused by trucks having to return to the loading area to add or remove product.
The operation of QWM’s portable weighbridge is very simple and only requires the truck to pause momentarily as each axle group enters the portable weighbridge deck for the indicator to automatically capture individual axle weights. A large digit indicator is easily read by the driver in the truck and displays the weight of each axle and then the total truck weight after the truck has exited the portable weighbridge.
QWM’s portable weighbridge is very low profile using a drop centre design to minimise the height of the weighing decks which allows for shallow angle access ramps for easy truck access.
The industrial load cells used in this portable weighbridge are rated at 15t each with a total of four load cells used on each track section. The nominal weighing capacity is 30,000kg using 10kg increments. This portable weighbridge is 4m long x 2.5m wide using ramps 0.9m wide joined by removable struts to allow the portable weighbridge to be relocated with minimal effort.
Accuweigh is Australia’s largest industrial weighing company and has branches in all mainland states providing Australia wide coverage for portable weighbridges, axle weighers and weighbridges of all types.
