Truck Scale & Truck Weighbridge Suppliers in Melbourne

Weighbridges are large commercial scales designed to weigh industrial vehicles and or determine the weight of their onboard goods. Weighbridges do not lift objects, instead are installed on the ground. Trucks drive on and off the scale, resulting in a quick and efficient measurement. This data can be reported though weighbridge software management system. Weighbridges reduce overhead costs by streamlining the weighing process and reducing operator time.

This type of scale is purpose built for a commercial setting and serves two specific purposes. The first purpose is to accurately determine the weight of a truck's onboard goods. This process involves measuring the loaded (gross weight) and unloaded weight (net weight) of the truck and then subtracting the gross weight from the net weight. The second purpose is to check that a truck is carrying the goods within its weight limit and in accordance with the legislation for road vehicles. 

Weighbridges are an essential tool for industries that sell bulk goods by weight or transport commercial material. This includes consumer goods like fruit, vegetables and livestock as well as transporting material to a construction site, waste to a treatment plant or scrap metal to a recycling centre.
