Technical Data
Overground weighbridge with foundation
The bridge, for sizes over 10.00 m two bridges, consists of two longitudinal beams with integrated floor plates.
| Overground scale bridge length [m] | Number of load cells | Scale bridge class | Length [m] | Width [m] | Height Bridge[cm] | Height Foundation [m] | Lane width[m] | Weight [t] |
| 8,00 | 4 | 50 | 8,80 | 4,00 | 60/80 | 0,30 | 3,00 | 36,30 |
| 9,00 | 4 | 50 | 9,80 | 4,00 | 60/80 | 0,30 | 3,00 | 39,20 |

- These bridge elements are constructed “overhead”. To provide a non-slip surface with a grip for the lorry, the flooring has a diamond-structure surface.
- The bridge is cemented in one operation, which means no construction joint which can result in the development of cracks.
- All visible surfaces have exposed concrete or structural concrete quality.
- The scale system consists of four or eight load cells, depending on bridge length. If the bridge exceeds 10.00 m it is divided into parts.
- The end pieces consist of two foundation plates with integrated bumpers as well as bearings in longitudinal and cross directions to accommodate the bumpers.
- The middle piece, necessary for scales longer than 10.00 m, consist of a foundation plate with two integrated consoles to accommodate the cross-direction bumper.
- The foundation blocks are linked by four beams to prevent the foundations from slipping.
- All parts are constructed “overhead” in order to provide an optimal visual look of exposed concrete.
- On all end sides the edge protection profiles are provided with bumper bags.
Assembly can be performed within a few hours using one crane, on a loose gravel ground on site according to site excavation plan.
Advantages of this System:
- No concrete foundations needed on site; the ground must simply be
frost-proof and firm - Very little excavation needed
- Compulsory guide for lorries
- Very low elevation above ground level (30 cm)
- Easy access to load cells
- High flexibility: the scales can be relocated in its entirety, including foundations
- Inner cable ducts
- High resistance to wear
- Enables getting in and out easily
- Poles on the end sides of the foundations
Advice:
If required, the bridges may be mounted on a concrete foundation or a concrete carriage-way. Formwork and structural plans will be provided. Prefabricated ramps can similarly be supplied.
We can also deliver overground scales larger than 20.00 m.
