Care instructions to increase the durability of the scales.

Weighbridges are designed to weigh heavy vehicles with excellent precision. They typically consist of several modules and are adapted to the environment where they will be installed, and can be made of metal, concrete, or a combination of these materials.

Weighbridges are equipment designed to support the weighing of heavy vehicles with high precision. Composed of various modules and configurable in metal, concrete, or mixed versions, they offer robustness and adaptability to the environment where they are installed. Their typical capacity is around 80 tons, requiring resistant and reliable components to guarantee prolonged performance.

Despite the high quality of manufacture, durability also depends on good usage practices. Here are the main precautions:

1. Avoid leaving vehicles immobilized on the weighbridge

The platform should only support the vehicle for the time necessary for weighing. Prolonged stays can overload the structure and the electronic system.

2. Avoid abrupt maneuvers when entering or exiting

Aggressive access or forced maneuvers damage the structure and put operators at risk.

3. Confirm that the indicator is zeroed

Before each weighing, check that the display is stabilized at zero to ensure accuracy.

4.Respect the maximum capacity of the weighbridge

Even though they are extremely robust, exceeding the capacity can cause damage and measurement errors.

5. Keep the platform clean

Debris such as sand, dirt, or accumulated water compromises operation and hinders vehicle access. Regular cleaning is essential.

By adopting these practices, you will significantly extend the lifespan of your weighbridge and avoid unnecessary repair costs.
