This project case study details the weighing system retrofit for a large-scale fruit wholesale market in Zhangzhou. The market specializes in the distribution, wholesale, and transshipment of tropical and subtropical fruits. It sees a high volume of daily traffic from light- and medium-duty delivery trucks as well as heavy-duty long-haul trailers, resulting in dense traffic flow and extremely frequent weigh-in operations. The market is an open-air facility with high humidity, and the ground is constantly covered with fruit peels and stains, creating a highly corrosive environment. The existing, outdated floor scales had insufficient load capacity and slow response times, and were prone to rust and inaccurate readings in the harsh conditions, making them unable to meet the weighing needs of different vehicle sizes. To standardize fruit trade measurements and improve market traffic efficiency, the market management selected Fujian Fangda Weighing Instruments to install a pair of floor scales.

In response to the diverse types of vehicles in the market and the open-air operating conditions of the site, we have customized two sets of industrial-grade truck scales: a 3×14-meter, 80-ton scale designed for small and medium-sized delivery trucks, used for weighing fruit during short-distance distribution; and a 3×18-meter, 120-ton scale specifically designed for heavy-duty long-haul trailers, capable of handling large-volume fruit transshipment and weighing. Both weighbridges feature a reinforced, monolithic welded U-beam structure that offers high rigidity and resistance to crushing, making them suitable for continuous, high-frequency weighing operations. To address the challenges of open-air humidity and fruit juice corrosion common in the market, the weighbridge bodies are treated with multi-layer anti-corrosion baked paint, providing enhanced sealing, stain resistance, and rust prevention—ideal for the complex environment of open-air wholesale markets.

The equipment is equipped with high-precision digital sensors that resist vibration and humidity interference. Weighing remains stable without data fluctuations during vehicle starts and stops, ensuring accurate and transparent settlement for fruit wholesale transactions. As the original manufacturer, we handled the entire on-site installation process, including planning the scale layout, efficiently diverting traffic for vehicles of different sizes, and providing one-stop delivery, hoisting, wiring, and calibration services. All work strictly complies with national metrological verification standards, ensuring legal and compliant commercial weighing.

Currently, both weighbridges are in simultaneous operation. Traffic flow within the market is clearly organized, and weighing is fast and congestion-free, effectively reducing measurement errors and equipment failure rates. Leveraging its extensive experience in installing multiple units, Fujian Fangda Weighing Equipment precisely meets the weighing needs of commercial distribution markets, empowering the commercial logistics industry with durable equipment and professional services.

Fujian Fangda Weighing Instruments provides a full range of electronic weighbridge from 30 tons to 200 tons
