Weighbridges
Phoenix Scales can supply either Surface or Pit Mounted weighbridge systems in a wide range of standard sizes, if however you have an existing weighbridge pit we can manufacture a bespoke size to suit your application. Our latest offering is the new Dual Track Weighbridge which can be installed within hours, trade approved and ready for use, ideal for hire. A weighbridge is a large, heavy-duty scale designed to weigh entire vehicles along with their loads. Typically installed either flush with the ground or in a raised configuration, weighbridges are essential in industries such as logistics, agriculture, waste management, and construction—where accurate vehicle weight measurement is crucial for safety, legal compliance, and operational efficiency.

Key Features of Weighbridges
· High Capacity: Weighbridges are built to handle extremely heavy loads, often accommodating vehicles weighing up to 80 tonnes or more.
· Durable Construction: Designed to endure the weight of heavy goods vehicles and challenging environmental conditions, they are constructed from robust materials such as steel and reinforced concrete for long-term performance.
· Accurate Weighing: Modern weighbridges are fitted with high-precision load cells and digital indicators to ensure accurate weight readings—vital for compliance and logistical planning.
· Flexible Designs: Available in both surface-mounted and pit-mounted configurations, weighbridges can be tailored to suit different site layouts and operational needs.
· Driver Operated Terminals: For use without directly via the driver to automate the weighing process.
· System Integration: Many weighbridges can be integrated with software for data recording, ticketing, and reporting, streamlining operations and enhancing record-keeping.
Applications of Weighbridges
Weighbridges are used across a wide range of sectors, including:
· Transport and Logistics: Ensuring vehicles do not exceed legal weight limits, thus avoiding fines and reducing wear on infrastructure.
· Agriculture: Weighing bulk produce during harvesting and transportation to track yields and manage stock levels.
· Waste Management: Measuring waste loads for accurate billing, tracking, and disposal.
