3 × 18 m 80-100 Ton Electronic Weighbridge & Truck Scales

3 × 18 m 80–100 Ton Electronic Weighbridge & Truck Scales

Fangda’s 3 × 18 m electronic weighbridge is designed for weighing heavy-duty trucks and commercial vehicles in industrial, logistics, mining, construction, and material-handling applications.

With a platform size of 3 meters wide and 18 meters long, this truck scale provides a large weighing surface for vehicles requiring a longer platform. The system can be configured for a rated capacity of 80 or 100 tons, depending on the vehicle type, loading conditions, and project requirements.

The electronic weighing system uses load cells to convert the applied load into electrical signals. These signals are processed by the weighing indicator to display the vehicle weight.

The weighbridge can be customized with different platform structures, load cell configurations, installation methods, and optional weighing management systems.

Key product features:

• Platform size: 3 × 18 m

• Rated capacity: 80 t or 100 t, subject to project configuration

• Electronic weighing system

• U-Beam steel structure option

• C3 or C6 load cell options

• Pit-type or pitless installation

• Customized platform and system configuration

• Optional unattended weighing and vehicle identification systems

3. Product Highlights

3 × 18 m Platform for Heavy-Duty Trucks

The 18-meter platform length can accommodate a range of long commercial vehicles, depending on their overall dimensions and axle configuration.

The platform size should be selected based on the actual vehicles to be weighed, their wheelbase, axle spacing, and the required weighing procedure.

80–100 Ton Capacity Options

The weighbridge can be configured for an 80-ton or 100-ton rated capacity.

The appropriate capacity depends on the maximum gross vehicle weight and the expected loading conditions. The rated capacity should not be selected solely according to payload.

Electronic Weighing System

The electronic weighing system includes load cells, a weighing indicator, junction components, and related electrical connections according to the selected configuration.

The system converts the load applied to the platform into a weight reading for vehicle weighing and weight management.

U-Beam Steel Platform Structure

A U-Beam steel structure can be considered for the platform design. The final structural configuration depends on the capacity, platform dimensions, loading conditions, and engineering requirements.

Flexible Installation Options

The weighbridge can be designed for:

• Pit-type installation

• Pitless installation

The installation method should be selected according to site conditions, drainage, civil construction requirements, available space, and vehicle traffic.

Optional Weighing Automation

For projects requiring higher operating efficiency, optional systems may include:

• RFID vehicle identification

• License Plate Recognition (LPR)

• Traffic lights and barriers

• CCTV monitoring

• Unattended weighing system

• Weighing management software

Load Cells

Load cells are installed at designated support points under the platform. They detect the load applied by the vehicle and convert it into electrical signals.

The number, capacity, and class of load cells depend on the engineering design.

Weighing Indicator

The weighing indicator receives signals from the load cells and displays the weight reading. Depending on the selected model, it may support data output and connection to weighing management software.

Junction Box and Electrical Connections

The junction box connects the load cells and helps manage the signal connections within the weighing system. The exact configuration depends on the selected components.

Optional Accessories

Optional accessories may include:

• Printer

• Weighing software

• RFID reader

• License plate recognition camera

• Traffic lights

• Vehicle barriers

• CCTV cameras

• Remote display

Accessory availability and compatibility should be confirmed before ordering.

6. Pit-Type and Pitless Installation

Pit-Type Electronic Weighbridge

A pit-type weighbridge is installed in a prepared foundation pit so that the weighing platform can be positioned at ground level.

Potential advantages:

• Ground-level vehicle access

• No long access ramps required

• Suitable for sites with sufficient civil construction capability

Installation considerations:

• Foundation and pit construction

• Drainage

• Maintenance access

• Local soil and groundwater conditions

Pitless Electronic Weighbridge

A pitless weighbridge is installed on an elevated foundation and generally requires access ramps.

Potential advantages:

• Easier access to some components

• Drainage may be simpler to manage

• Suitable for sites where a deep foundation pit is not preferred

Installation considerations:

• Ramp length and slope

• Available space

• Vehicle maneuvering

• Foundation height and drainage

The appropriate installation method depends on the site layout and civil engineering design.

7. Applications

Mining and Quarry Operations

Used for weighing trucks transporting minerals, aggregates, stones, and other bulk materials.

Logistics and Transportation

8. How to Select an 80–100 Ton Truck Scale

When selecting a 3 × 18 m electronic weighbridge, consider the following factors:

1. Rated capacity: Confirm whether 80 tons or 100 tons is suitable for the maximum gross vehicle weight.

2. Vehicle dimensions: Check the truck length, width, wheelbase, and axle arrangement.

3. Platform size: Confirm that the 3 × 18 m platform meets the vehicle and weighing requirements.

4. Installation type: Select pit-type or pitless installation according to site conditions.

5. Weighing requirements: Confirm the required accuracy class and local metrological regulations.

6. Environmental conditions: Consider moisture, dust, temperature, and possible corrosive exposure.

7. Automation requirements: Decide whether manual, semi-automatic, or unattended weighing is required.

8. Data management: Confirm whether the system needs printing, software, or integration with other systems.

Fangda can review the project requirements and recommend a suitable weighbridge configuration.
