Please see below for the following Weighbridge Foundation Considerations

Above Ground Weighbridges

Above Ground Weighbridges typically have the weighbridge deck, ramps and load cells above ground level.

Benefits/Advantages:

  • Least expensive weighbridge option.
  • Least site preparation required before construction.
  • Most common type of weighbridge supplied & installed across Australia.
  • Easy to clean and inspect.
  • Requires minimal drainage or in most cases not required at all.

Disadvantages:

  • Requires the largest site footprint of all the options – Having 5m long Ramps at either end, or in some cases even longer ramps if the ground slopes away from the weighbridge.

Semi-Pit & Custom Semi-Pit Type

Semi-Pit Weighbridges, or Ground Level Exposed Beams Weighbridges, are constructed partially in the ground allowing the deck`s weighing surface to be at ground level.

Advantages:

  • Ideal for sites with extreme space restrictions.
  • Smaller site footprint than the Above Ground Weighbridge, No ramps required.

Disadvantages:

  • Expensive weighbridge option due to more excavation work required.
  • Most preparation required before construction.
  • Requires drainage considerations.

Fully In-Ground Weighbridges

Fully In-Ground Weighbridges have the Weighbridge deck at ground level with the foundations and load cells mounted in a pit.

Advantages:

  • Small site footprint
  • Best for sites with small usable area
  • No ramps required

Disadvantages:

  • Extensive excavation and construction
  • Most expensive option
  • Requires drainage
  • Access hatch for servicing and cleaning requires confined space access permits, stand-by personnel and air quality checks before entry

Multi-Deck Weighbridges

Multi-Deck Weighbridges tend to be Above Ground Weighbridges and have individual deck lengths to suit the group axle spacing of common truck/trailer configurations*. This allows vehicles to be weighed in a single transaction, yet still be identified by individual axle group weight readings.

Advantages:

  • Allows for optimisation of loads in multiple trailers

Please Note: Vehicle combinations and the respective axle spacings may differ, so it is essential that you talk to our team prior to determine the best configuration for your Multi-Deck Weighbridge.

Ezy Lodeck/Steel Deck Weighbridges
