Fangda 150 ton weighbridge and truck scale is a heavy-duty electronic vehicle weighing system designed for large trucks, trailers and industrial vehicles with a maximum rated weighing capacity of 150 tons.

The system combines a heavy-duty steel weighing platform with precision load cells, a junction box and digital weighing indicator to measure the gross weight of vehicles and cargo.

A 150 ton truck scale is suitable for applications where conventional 60 ton, 80 ton, 100 ton or 120 ton weighing capacities are not sufficient for the expected vehicle loads.

Fangda can customize the platform dimensions, load cell configuration, installation method and weighing system according to the vehicle type, operating environment and project requirements.

What Is a 150 Ton Weighbridge?

A 150 ton weighbridge is a large-capacity electronic vehicle scale designed to weigh vehicles and cargo up to a rated capacity of 150 tons.

The complete vehicle is positioned on the weighing platform. The load is transferred through the weighing structure to the load cells, which generate signals that are processed by the weighing indicator.

A typical 150 ton weighbridge consists of:

• Heavy-duty steel weighing platform

• U-beam structural frame

• Load cells

• Junction box

• Digital weighing indicator

• Foundation structure

• Approach ramps for pitless installation

• Weighing software as an optional component

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

Why Choose a 150 Ton Truck Scale?

A 150 ton capacity is designed for applications involving exceptionally heavy vehicle and cargo combinations.

Compared with lower-capacity truck scales, a 150 ton weighbridge provides additional capacity for heavy-duty transportation and industrial operations.

Typical applications include:

• Mining

• Quarrying

• Aggregate plants

• Heavy industrial facilities

• Bulk-material transportation

• Construction material plants

• Cement-related operations

• Ports and terminals

• Large logistics facilities

• Waste and material transfer operations

The rated capacity should always be selected according to the maximum expected gross vehicle weight.

A vehicle that regularly operates close to the maximum capacity may also require appropriate allowance based on local weighing regulations and operating conditions.

If your application requires a lower capacity, see our 120 Ton Weighbridge.

Heavy-Duty U-Beam Structure

The weighing platform is the primary load-bearing component of a truck scale.

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

For a 150 ton application, structural design should take into account:

• Gross vehicle weight

• Axle loads

• Axle spacing

• Platform length

• Platform width

• Traffic frequency

• Off-center loading

• Environmental conditions

• Foundation conditions

The structural configuration should be selected according to the actual project rather than simply increasing the capacity rating.

150 Ton Weighbridge Platform

Platform dimensions should be determined according to the vehicles using the scale.

For heavy trucks and long trailers, a longer weighing deck can help accommodate the entire vehicle during weighing.

Fangda supports customized platform dimensions across its 30–200 ton truck scale range.

Possible platform configurations can include:

• 3 × 14 m

• 3 × 16 m

• 3 × 18 m

• 3 × 20 m

• Other customized dimensions

The final platform size depends on:

• Vehicle length

• Wheelbase

• Axle configuration

• Site layout

• Traffic direction

• Foundation design

For long multi-axle trailers, the platform length should be confirmed before production.

C3 and C6 Load Cells

Load cells detect the load applied to the weighing platform and convert it into an electrical signal.

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

Load cell selection should consider:

• Required accuracy

• Platform design

• Vehicle traffic

• Environmental conditions

• Legal-for-trade requirements

• Local metrology regulations

For outdoor and demanding environments, IP68-rated load cells can be specified for additional protection against water and environmental exposure.

Pitless 150 Ton Weighbridge

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

This configuration can be suitable where:

• There is sufficient space for ramps

• Easy inspection is preferred

• Drainage is important

• Excavation should be reduced

• The customer prefers above-ground installation

A pitless 150 ton truck scale can be particularly practical for industrial and quarry applications where regular inspection and maintenance are required.

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

Pit-Type 150 Ton Truck Scale

A pit-type weighbridge is installed in a foundation pit so that the weighing deck is approximately level with the surrounding ground.

This can be useful where site space is limited or where the customer requires a low-profile vehicle access arrangement.

The pit design should provide suitable:

• Drainage

• Waterproofing

• Foundation strength

• Maintenance access

• Cable routing

• Load-bearing support

For locations with heavy rainfall or high groundwater levels, drainage should be considered at the beginning of the civil engineering process.

150 Ton Weighbridge for Mining

Mining operations can involve extremely heavy vehicles and demanding working conditions.

A 150 ton weighbridge can be used to monitor the weight of:

• Ore

• Rock

• Aggregate

• Coal

• Construction minerals

• Other bulk materials

Mining environments can expose the weighing system to:

• Dust

• Mud

• Water

• Vibration

• Heavy traffic

• Frequent loading cycles

The weighbridge should therefore be designed with suitable structural strength, load cell protection, drainage and foundation support.

For vehicles exceeding the practical operating requirements of a 150 ton scale, Fangda can also provide higher-capacity configurations up to 200 tons.

For higher-capacity mining applications, see our 200 Ton Truck Scale.

150 Ton Weighbridge for Quarry and Aggregate Plants

Quarries and aggregate plants require reliable vehicle weighing for material dispatch and transportation management.

A 150 ton truck scale can be used to weigh trucks carrying:

• Stone

• Gravel

• Aggregate

• Sand

• Quarry products

• Construction materials

A heavy-duty U-beam platform can provide the structural configuration required for repeated truck traffic.

For high-volume quarry operations, an unattended weighing system can also be integrated to reduce manual weighing operations.

150 Ton Weighbridge for Industrial Applications

Large industrial plants may require truck scales to manage incoming raw materials and outgoing finished products.

A 150 ton weighbridge can support:

• Raw material receiving

• Finished-product dispatch

• Vehicle weight verification

• Material accounting

• Transportation management

• Weighing transaction records

The weighing system can be connected to digital software for centralized data management.

For facilities operating continuously, automatic vehicle identification and unattended weighing can improve operational efficiency.

150 Ton Weighbridge for Bulk Materials

Bulk-material transportation can involve heavy trucks and trailers carrying large quantities of material.

A 150 ton truck scale can provide a suitable weighing platform for applications involving:

• Minerals

• Aggregates

• Construction materials

• Industrial raw materials

• Agricultural bulk products

• Waste materials

The capacity and platform dimensions should be selected based on the maximum vehicle and cargo combination rather than cargo weight alone.

150 Ton Weighbridge Technical Specifications
