How To Select The Weighbridge Capacity Based On The Weight Of Goods?

  1. Basic Selection Principle: Follow the standard of "daily maximum weighing weight + 20% redundancy" to prevent long-term full-load operation of the equipment, which may lead to reduced accuracy and shortened service life. For example, if the daily weight of transported goods is 80 tons, it is recommended to prioritize a 100-ton weighbridge; if it is used in heavy-load and high-frequency scenarios such as mines and metallurgy, the redundancy should be increased to 30%, and a weighbridge of 120 tons or more is recommended.

  2. Adaptation to Special Scenarios:
  • Light-load and scattered goods (1-10 tons): Small weighbridges or platform scales can be selected, which balance flexibility and portability and are suitable for scenarios such as small warehouses and retail freight.
  • Medium-sized truck cargo (20-50 tons): A 50-80 ton electronic truck scale is recommended, with a conventional size of 3×12-16m, meeting the weighing needs of raw materials in logistics transfer stations and small and medium-sized factories.
  • Large engineering vehicles/tankers (80-150 tons): A 100-200 ton digital weighbridge with a high-strength manganese steel body is required, suitable for heavy-load scenarios such as construction sites and mines.
