What is a portable truck scale? What you need to know

A portable truck scale is an intelligent vehicle weighing system used in the transportation and logistics industry. In this article, NLT Group provides detailed information about the benefits, applications, and effective maintenance methods of portable scales.

What is a portable truck scale?

A portable truck scale is designed to quickly and conveniently measure the weight of transport vehicles. With its compact size and high mobility, this type of scale allows users to move it easily. As a result, businesses can check vehicle loads at various locations without installing a fixed truck weighing station.

Although compact in size, portable truck scales are highly durable. Made from sturdy materials, they can withstand overloads and impacts effectively. At the same time, they are capable of frequent and repeated weighing. With convenience and high accuracy, this type of scale is becoming an ideal vehicle load weighing solution for many businesses.

Benefits of portable truck scales

Portable truck scales offer numerous advantages to businesses operating in the transportation and logistics sectors, such as:

• High accuracy results: the scale uses modern sensor technology to measure vehicle weight accurately and quickly.
• Compared to fixed truck weighing stations, portable scales are more convenient. They are compact and easy to move for use at different locations, whereas fixed stations are installed in one place and cannot be relocated.
• Capable of weighing various types of vehicles such as trucks, containers, passenger cars, tractors, tanker trucks, and more.
• Cost savings: portable scales require lower investment costs as there is no need to install a fixed weighing station system.
• Time savings: vehicle weighing operations are fast and efficient.
• Space savings: portable scales do not require large installation areas like fixed truck weighing stations.
• Enhanced management efficiency: portable scales are integrated with memory capable of storing up to 800 weighing data records. This enables businesses to monitor, manage, and optimize transportation operations.
• Compliance with legal regulations: by ensuring transported goods meet load regulations, businesses can avoid unnecessary penalties related to overloading violations.

Applications of portable truck scales

Currently, portable truck scales are commonly used in the following fields:

• Application in the transportation sector to inspect overloaded vehicles and vehicles exceeding permitted weight limits.
• Checking the weight of trucks, tanker trucks, and containers.
• Inspecting vehicle weight in automobile production lines.
• Application in factories and warehouses to check incoming and outgoing cargo loads.
• Application at concrete mixing stations to monitor input and output materials.

Proper maintenance and preservation of portable scales

For portable truck scales, careful preservation is the key to ensuring high performance and accuracy. Below are some proper maintenance methods you should know:

Power usage

You need to check the power supply to the scale indicator to ensure optimal performance. Maintaining the battery system helps prevent interruptions during use. At the same time, monitor the indicator light on the charger to determine charging status. The light turns red when charging begins and switches to green when fully charged. This helps maintain stable power and consistent scale operation.

Checking the charger

First, inspect the cable and plug to ensure they are not damaged. Then connect the charger properly to make sure the scale is fully charged and to avoid sudden battery depletion during operation.

Transportation

Portable electronic scales are precision measuring devices. Therefore, special care is required during transportation and storage. The circuit board and scale components should be placed in protective packaging to avoid impact damage. In addition, ensure the storage environment is dry and avoid placing heavy objects on the equipment box to prevent damage.

Some notes when preserving

• The touchscreen of the portable scale is soft. Avoid tapping or pressing hard with sharp objects to prevent damage.
• Do not use the scale in environments with high temperature, high pressure, vibration, humidity, or strong electromagnetic interference.
• Ensure vehicles being weighed are stationary on the weighing platform to guarantee accurate results.
• Strictly prohibit braking on the weighing platform to avoid slipping and accessory damage.
• Limit disassembling the measuring device of the portable scale to prevent affecting accuracy.
• Place the scale away from areas prone to collision or potential damage.
• Regularly clean and wipe the scale to remove dust and protect mechanical and electronic components.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on usage and maintenance to ensure long lifespan and optimal performance.
