Surface Mounted Weighbridge

Whether you choose a surface or pit-mounted weighbridge will depend on a number of factors specific to your application. The good news is, Parkerfarm has a range of weighbridges suitable for both options and we can help you select the best solution.

Surface-mounted weighbridges have the advantage, that they do not need a dedicated concrete pit with drainage. As long as you have a structurally sound, flat concrete base with access, then a surface weighbridge can be installed. Access to the weighbridge is typically achieved via ramps – these can be steel or concrete. Concrete ramps are cast in situ and require steel end frames within the concrete for strength. (It should be remembered that all weighbridges need a small controlled amount of movement, end to end).

Surface – Pit Crossover

Depending on the location of where your weighbridge is to be installed, (with some imaginative civil works), it is possible to install a surface weighbridge where the concrete approach ramps are level. This design speeds up weighing and leaves the sides of the weighbridge open.

Agrideck DT Weighbridge

Our Agrideck DT surface weighbridge is designed for high-capacity vehicle weighing in the harshest of working environments. We have been manufacturing this traditional side-beam weighbridge design for over 35 years and the fully welded, drive-through steel structure is designed to withstand very high concentrated loads and continual use. Features of Agrideck DT Surface Weighbridge:

Trade-approved
Wide range of lengths and widths up to 150 t capacity
Ideal for weighing large off-road vehicles
Low profile vehicle entry - optional low profile ramps
Available as single-end entry construction
Side beams act as guide rails
Stainless steel waterproof load cells (IP69K)
Ideal for short term portable/hire applications
Can be installed in shallow open-sided pits

The Agrideck DT is now available with sloping entry-exit deck plates, which significantly reduces the length and angle of the entry-exit ramps. This design speeds up vehicle throughput, whilst the deep profile, robust longitudinal beams offer an extremely stiff structure.
