Portable Weighbridges

Portable Weighbridges are useful tools that provide a valuable convenience factor; they are designed to easily move from one jobsite to another. These steel-deck scales are ideal in operations that include logging, sand, gravel, construction, road-building and concrete/asphalt batching.

Our Portable Weighbridges use the proven design of orthotropic ribs, combining proven performance with exceptional durability. This unique design directs the pressure of extremely heavy loads away from areas that would otherwise be fatigued by stress. Continuous welds along the seam of each rib to the deck ensure lasting strength. It’s a design that works effectively and efficiently, and in fact, METTLER TOLEDO’s scales have the same orthotropic design used for the Golden Gate Bridge and several other high-traffic roadway bridges.

METTLER TOLEDO also provides load cells for truck scales and rail scale applications. POWERCELL load cells are the most accurate and reliable vehicle load cells in the world, providing proven performance with a successful history of nearly 1 million load cells in service worldwide. METTLER TOLEDO’s Portable Weighbridges include two options: field-assembled portable truck scales and premium portable truck scales. The basic portability option of a field-assembled portable truck scale is compatible with numerous standard steel-deck modular Portable Weighbridge models. The scale uses a bolted frame that is assembled on site. This option is a cost-effective solution to accommodate seasonal relocation of the scale.

Premium portable truck scales are fully assembled and are used for weighing over-the-road vehicles. This portable scale is perfect for industries that deal in heavy operations like demolition and construction. Its modules are factory assembled and easy to install or move. Both the basic and premium versions are designed to provide the same accurate, reliable weighing as a permanent scale. Yet they carry much different advantages, from easy installation to reducing the expense and time needed to install a permanent scale.
