What Is A Truck Scale, How Does It Work and Range of Prices

What is a truck scale? Measuring the load weights of trucks or other vehicles carrying cargo is extremely important to ensure the safe transportation of loads and not to violate the law. Accurate measurement is possible with accurate weighing applications. These scales have the capacity to precisely measure tons of weight. Truck scales are special products that prevent load violations, weigh trucks, and are divided into 2 types: 60-ton scales and 80-ton scales. WEILO manufactures all electronic and mechanical components from Software, Load Cell, Load Cell to Weighing Terminal used in the production of WEILO vehicle scales 100% domestically.

Truck Scale's Prices and Types 

Vehicle scales are a system used to measure the weight of trucks, other road and railway vehicles, and the loads they carry by being placed on a scale. Although it consists of multiple components, it is easy to transport and assemble. Depending on the dimensions of the area where the vehicles will be weighed and the characteristics of the vehicles, there are different sizes and capacities of truck scales available. Details about truck scale prices and types are listed below.

Vehicle scales consist of five basic parts:

• Foundation: The foundation is the part where the other components of the scale are positioned. There are two different models of truck scales: above-ground and pit-type.
• Steel Platform: The platform where the truck or other vehicle will be placed for weighing. It is designed to be driven directly onto the platform without the need for any additional assistance.
• Load Cells: The load cells are the basic components used to measure the weight of the vehicle or the load it carries when it is placed on the scale. They convert the force applied to the platform into an electrical signal which is then transmitted to the weighing indicator.
• Cables: Cables transmit the electrical signals from the load cells to the weighing indicator.
• Weighing Indicator: The weighing indicator converts the electrical signals received from the load cells into weight units that can be read by the user.

How Does Truck Scales Work?

Truck scales work by placing the entire steel platform on one or more load cells equipped with strain gauges. When the load cells are subjected to weight, it causes a change in the shape of the wires inside the strain gauges. This change affects the electric current flowing through the wires and creates a difference in resistance. The electric currents from the strain gauges and the load cells are combined by the junction box and sent to the weighing indicator. Finally, the weighing indicator receives these analog electrical signals and converts them into digital data that can be read on the screen by the user.

How does Truck Scale Choosen?

How to choose a truck scale? Different scales should be preferred according to the place where it will be installed and the weight to be weighed. As Weilo, we produce our vehicle scales in two different models: above-ground and pit-mounted. Our above-ground models are easy to install and transport. The platform of the scale is lifted by concrete ramps and is about 46 centimeters high. They are preferred in many sectors such as mining, steel industry, construction, food, agriculture, and animal husbandry. Our pit-mounted models are functional for narrow entrances and exits in factories. The platform is at the same level as the ground and is mounted in a pit of approximately 1.5 meters deep.

The transportation capacity is limited to 44 tons in the highway regulation. However, our scales, which are more durable, can measure up to 60 tons. We also have scales that can measure 80 and 100 tons, which are produced for vehicles that do not operate on the roads such as those used in mining. For trucks, scales with an average length of 14 to 18 meters, most commonly 16 meters, are produced, taking into account the length of the vehicles. For trucks with 12 wheels, scales with a minimum length of 10 meters should be preferred, while for trucks with 8 to 12 meters, scales with a length between 8 and 12 meters are suitable
