Surface Mounted Weighbridge Systems
The choice between a surface-mounted and pit-mounted weighbridge depends on the specific requirements of your site, vehicle access and day-to-day operation. Parkerfarm offers expertly engineered solutions for both options and can provide professional guidance to help you select the most suitable system for your application.
Surface-mounted weighbridges offer a practical and efficient solution where a dedicated concrete pit and drainage system are not required. Provided there is a structurally sound, level concrete base with suitable access, a surface-mounted weighbridge can be installed quickly and effectively. Vehicle access is typically achieved using steel or concrete ramps, depending on site requirements.
Concrete ramps are cast in situ and incorporate steel end frames for added strength and durability. As with all weighbridge systems, a small degree of controlled movement is essential to ensure accurate performance and long-term reliability.
Whether you are planning a new installation, require expert advice or need support with an existing system, our experienced team is here to help.
