Fangda 120 ton weighbridge and truck scale is a heavy-duty electronic vehicle weighing system designed for trucks, trailers and other large commercial vehicles with a maximum weighing capacity of 120 tons.

The 120 ton truck scale combines a heavy-duty steel weighing platform with precision load cells, a junction box and a digital weighing indicator to measure vehicle and cargo weight.

The platform dimensions, load cell configuration, foundation type and weighing system can be customized according to the vehicle dimensions, axle configuration, traffic volume and installation conditions.

The 120 ton model is particularly suitable for applications involving long trailers, heavy material transportation and high-volume industrial vehicle weighing.

Fangda's current project portfolio includes 120 ton weighbridge installations for quarries, mines, grain depots, fruit wholesale markets and other industrial and logistics applications.

What Is a 120 Ton Weighbridge?

A 120 ton weighbridge is a large-capacity vehicle weighing system designed to weigh vehicles and their cargo up to a rated capacity of 120 tons.

The entire vehicle is positioned on the weighing platform. The vehicle load is transferred through the load cells and converted into an electrical weighing signal that is processed by the weighing indicator.

A typical 120 ton electronic weighbridge consists of:

• Steel weighing platform

• Load cells

• Junction box

• Digital weighing indicator

• Foundation structure

• Approach ramps where required

• Weighing software as an optional component

For high-volume operations, the weighing system can also be integrated with vehicle identification and unattended weighing equipment.

Why Choose a 120 Ton Truck Scale?

A 120 ton truck scale is suitable when the operating vehicles and cargo require more capacity than a conventional 60 or 80 ton truck scale.

It can be particularly useful for:

• Mining operations

• Quarries

• Aggregate plants

• Grain depots

• Logistics parks

• Fruit and agricultural wholesale markets

• Construction projects

• Industrial factories

• Ports and terminals

• Bulk material transportation

The capacity should be selected according to the maximum gross vehicle weight rather than average vehicle weight.

The platform dimensions should then be selected according to vehicle length, wheelbase, axle configuration and site layout.

120 Ton Weighbridge for Long and Heavy Vehicles

Large trucks and trailers may require a longer weighing platform even when the weighing capacity remains within 120 tons.

A longer platform can provide more space for the complete vehicle to remain on the weighing deck during the weighing process.

Fangda has supplied 120 ton configurations with long platforms, including:

• 3 × 16 m

• 3 × 18 m

• 3 × 20 m

The appropriate platform length should be selected according to the actual vehicle dimensions and application.

For example, Fangda's project portfolio includes a 3 × 18 m, 120 ton weighbridge at the Fuzhou Grain Depot and a 3 × 20 m, 120 ton weighbridge at a quarry in Namibia.

Heavy-Duty U-Beam Structure

Fangda's truck scales can use high-strength U-beam steel structures designed for repeated vehicle loading.

The U-beam structure forms the main load-bearing framework underneath the weighing deck.

For a 120 ton weighbridge, structural design should consider:

• Maximum gross vehicle weight

• Axle loads

• Platform length

• Platform width

• Traffic frequency

• Off-center loading

• Environmental conditions

• Foundation conditions

A 120 ton weighbridge used in a mine or quarry may experience substantially different operating conditions from one installed at a grain depot or logistics center.

The final structure should therefore be selected according to the actual project.

120 Ton Weighbridge Platform Dimensions

Platform dimensions are one of the most important configuration decisions for a heavy-duty truck scale.

Fangda supports customized platform dimensions according to vehicle requirements.

Examples of 120 ton configurations in Fangda's project portfolio include:

3 × 16 m

A 3 × 16 m configuration can be suitable for heavy commercial vehicles and industrial transport applications.

Fangda has a documented 3 × 16 m, 120 ton installation at a mine in Sanming City.

3 × 18 m

A 3 × 18 m platform provides additional deck length for long vehicles.

Fangda has installed 3 × 18 m, 120 ton weighbridges at the Fuzhou Grain Depot and Zhangzhou Fruit Wholesale Market.

3 × 20 m

For particularly long vehicles and demanding export applications, an even longer platform may be appropriate.

Fangda has a documented 3 × 20 m, 120 ton weighbridge installation at a quarry in Namibia.

The final platform size should always be confirmed according to the customer's vehicle dimensions and site conditions.

C3 and C6 Load Cell Options

Load cells are the sensing components that detect the load applied to the weighing platform.

Fangda truck scale systems can be configured with C3 or C6 load cells according to the required weighing performance and application.

Load cell selection should take into account:

• Required accuracy

• Platform configuration

• Environmental conditions

• Vehicle traffic

• Legal-for-trade requirements

• Local metrology regulations

For outdoor and harsh environments, IP68-rated load cells can be specified where additional environmental protection is required.

Pitless 120 Ton Weighbridge

A pitless weighbridge is installed above ground and normally uses approach ramps.

This configuration can be useful for sites where:

• Sufficient ramp space is available

• Drainage is important

• Pit excavation should be minimized

• Easy inspection access is preferred

• The site requires a relatively straightforward foundation arrangement

The civil foundation must still be designed according to local soil conditions and the manufacturer's technical requirements.

Pit-Type 120 Ton Truck Scale

A pit-type weighbridge places the weighing platform closer to ground level by installing the structure inside a foundation pit.

This can be useful where the site has limited approach space or where the customer prefers a lower-profile installation.

A pit-type 120 ton weighbridge requires careful attention to:

• Drainage

• Waterproofing

• Foundation strength

• Maintenance access

• Cable routing

• Ground conditions

For sites with heavy rainfall or high groundwater levels, drainage should be considered during the initial civil design.

120 Ton Weighbridge for Mining and Quarrying

Mining and quarry applications are among the most demanding environments for truck scales.

Vehicles may carry stone, aggregate, ore or other heavy materials, while the weighing equipment may be exposed to:

• Dust

• Mud

• Rain

• Vibration

• Heavy vehicle traffic

• High daily weighing frequency

A 120 ton weighbridge can be configured for these conditions with appropriate structural design, load cell protection, foundation construction and drainage.

Fangda has documented 120 ton projects in both domestic and overseas mining and quarry environments.

One example is a 3 × 16 m, 120 ton weighbridge installed at a mine in Sanming City.

Another is a 3 × 20 m, 120 ton weighbridge installed at a quarry in Namibia for export operations.

120 Ton Weighbridge for Grain Depots

Grain storage and distribution facilities require accurate vehicle weighing for incoming and outgoing agricultural materials.

A 120 ton weighbridge can be used to measure heavy trucks and trailers carrying grain and other bulk agricultural products.

Fangda has a documented 3 × 18 m, 120 ton weighbridge installation at the Fuzhou Grain Depot.

The platform length is particularly important for facilities handling long trailers.

The weighing system can also be integrated with digital data management to support receiving, dispatch and inventory-related weighing records.

Case 03 — Grain

120 Ton Weighbridge for Logistics

Logistics parks often handle a wide range of commercial vehicles.

A 120 ton truck scale can provide a larger capacity margin for heavy trucks and trailers while supporting vehicle weighing and cargo management.

Typical functions include:

• Gross vehicle weighing

• Weight record management

• Digital weighing tickets

• Vehicle identification

• Transaction history

• Data export

• Automated weighing

For high-throughput logistics parks, an unattended weighing configuration can reduce manual operation and improve vehicle throughput.

120 Ton Weighbridge for Agricultural Wholesale Markets

Large agricultural wholesale markets may receive heavy vehicles carrying fruit, vegetables and other bulk products.

Fangda has a documented project at the Zhangzhou Fruit Wholesale Market using:

• 3 × 14 m, 80 ton weighbridge

• 3 × 18 m, 120 ton weighbridge

The two capacities were selected for different vehicle groups and weighing requirements.

This illustrates why capacity and platform length should be selected according to the actual vehicle fleet rather than applying one configuration to every vehicle.

120 Ton Weighbridge Technical Specifications

Final specifications must be confirmed according to the actual vehicle, platform dimensions, destination market and project requirements.

Unattended 120 Ton Truck Scale

A 120 ton weighbridge can be integrated into an unattended weighing system for high-volume industrial and logistics applications.

A typical automated system can combine:

• RFID vehicle identification

• License plate recognition

• Infrared positioning

• Traffic lights

• Automatic barriers

• Cameras

• Voice guidance

• Digital weighing software

• Automatic data recording

The system can identify the vehicle, control access to the weighing platform and record the weighing transaction with reduced manual intervention.

This type of system can be useful for:

• Mines

• Quarries

• Cement plants

• Logistics parks

• Industrial factories

• Grain depots

• Ports

• Bulk material facilities

120 Ton Weighbridge for Harsh Environments

Outdoor industrial weighing systems may be exposed to rain, dust, mud, vibration and frequent heavy vehicle traffic.

For these environments, the weighing system should be configured with appropriate:

• Load cell protection

• Steel surface treatment

• Drainage

• Foundation design

• Cable protection

• Maintenance access

IP68 load cells can be considered for installations where water and environmental exposure are significant.

For mining and quarry applications, regular cleaning and inspection of the platform, load cells and foundation area are also important.
