Design and installation process for outdoor truck weigh stations

In the context of rapidly advancing technology, installing truck weigh stations has become a key factor helping businesses optimize load management and minimize risks. With support from advanced systems, truck weigh stations not only enable accurate load control but also improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure traffic safety.

Key benefits of installing smart truck weigh stations

Accurate truck weighing systems

An accurate truck weighing system is the foundation of effective load management. Modern IoT, AI, and GIS Cloud technologies allow automatic vehicle load weighing, minimizing dependence on manual operations. The system operates continuously, enables monitoring anytime and anywhere, and ensures transparency in load management.

High technology truck weigh stations

Modern weigh stations are designed for outdoor operation, with high load bearing capacity, vibration resistance, and water resistance. In particular, load sensors imported from Europe provide accuracy that meets OIML standards, ensuring absolute reliability for truck weighing systems.

Design and installation process for outdoor truck weigh stations

Truck weigh station design

Design is the first and most critical step in the outdoor truck weigh station installation process. A high quality design not only ensures efficiency but also optimizes investment and operating costs.

Site survey

The design process begins with a thorough site survey. The engineering team evaluates terrain, weather conditions, and traffic volume to determine the optimal location for the weigh station. In areas with harsh climatic conditions, selecting an appropriate site helps minimize environmental impact and increase system durability.

Materials and structure

Truck weigh station designs typically use durable materials with corrosion resistance and high load bearing capacity. For example, the weighbridge platform is manufactured from imported steel with thickness ranging from 10 to 12 mm, ensuring the ability to withstand heavy loads. The system is also designed to tolerate overloads of up to 150 percent to ensure safety in emergency situations.

Load calculation

The weigh station must be designed to suit different vehicle types, from light trucks to super heavy vehicles. This requires precise calculation of maximum loads and related technical parameters. The weighbridge platform can be flexibly adjusted with lengths from 6 to 18 m to meet diverse customer requirements.

International standards

Outdoor truck weigh stations are designed in accordance with international standards such as OIML or CE, ensuring superior accuracy and durability. Compliance with these standards helps businesses facilitate calibration and quality certification processes.

Installation of outdoor truck weigh stations

After the design is approved, the outdoor truck weigh station installation process is implemented by a professional technical team. This is a critical step that determines the actual operational effectiveness of the weigh station.

Weighbridge installation

• Site preparation: The installation area must be leveled and reinforced to ensure sufficient load bearing capacity. Areas with weak soil foundations are additionally reinforced with concrete or specialized materials.
• Weighbridge construction: The weighbridge is installed with a high strength steel frame and anti slip surface coating to enhance safety. Installation must ensure absolute flatness to minimize weighing errors.

Integration of load sensors

Load sensors are the core components of the weighing system. Sensors are positioned at the corners of the weighbridge to ensure high accuracy. These sensors are imported from Europe and can withstand extreme temperatures from -10°C to +60°C, enabling stable operation under all weather conditions.

Connection to data management systems

• Hardware: The system is connected to a central computer via RS232 or Ethernet interfaces, enabling fast and accurate data transmission.
• Management software: Software integrated on IoT and AI platforms allows remote monitoring and real time data storage. The system can automatically record vehicle information, including load weight, license plate images, date and time, and location.

Testing and trial operation

Before commissioning, the weigh station undergoes a testing and calibration phase. Technical parameters such as accuracy, load capacity, and data processing speed are thoroughly evaluated to ensure stable operation and compliance with standards.

Cost and pricing for truck weigh station installation
