When evaluating a weighbridge, the purchase price is only one part of the equation. Accuracy, reliability, and operational costs over the years directly impact the business.
Total Cost of Ownership
Includes preventive maintenance, repairs, calibrations, potential platform downtime, and impact on operations.
Value of goods moved
Controlling received and shipped weights is fundamental to avoid losses, errors, and fraud, as well as ensuring inventory compliance.
Reliable components reduce costs
Stainless steel BARBAL® TC cells with IP69K protection prevent damage from submersion. Rodent-protected wiring prevents interruptions, and the IP68 junction box with gas weirs protects against storms.
Scheduled maintenance
Plan preventive shutdowns to ensure reliability and longevity.
Choosing a robust and technologically advanced weighbridge drastically reduces unexpected costs and ensures operational continuity.
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.
Before deciding to purchase a weighing solution for your company, you should consider several aspects, including the following.
Weighbridges currently allow you to leverage the latest technologies to streamline business processes and transactions by collecting information such as the product to be weighed, price, tare weight, net weight, customer or supplier data, carrier, supporting documents (such as invoices or shipping documents), driver identification, vehicle identification, surcharges, freight, fees or taxes, or the quality and origin of the materials.
Weighbridges are used all over the world. Both small and large businesses, as well as transport companies, weigh trucks carrying all types of cargo, from food products to metals, as well as durable consumer goods or solid waste.
Almost all weighbridges have components in common that work together to measure weight.
