- Custom special sizes are available on request.
- Load limits:
- Weighing range up to 60 tons (load capacity depends on model: 40, 50, or 60 tons).
- 10-meter models: up to 40 t | 18m & 20m models: 50 or 60 t.
Precise and protected load cells for exact measurement results:
- High-precision load cells (e.g., Max 25 t, accuracy class C4) guarantee accurate weight determination.
- Protection class IP68 / IP69K – ideal for use in demanding, damp, or dusty environments.
- Optional features:
- Rodent-resistant cables
- Internal lightning protection against overvoltage
- Junction box (connection box):
- Die-cast aluminum housing, IP68 protection class for optimal protection against moisture.
- 4 load cells for 10-meter models, 8 load cells for 18m & 20m models for even and precise load reception.
Maximum convenience for cleaning & maintenance:
- Multiple access shafts facilitate maintenance and inspection work.
- Optional lowered side walls (5 cm) – for extra-wide vehicles.
- Watertight design – suitable for use in damp and wet environments, also available compliant with the WHG (German Federal Water Act).
State-of-the-art weighing electronics & certification:
- Equipped with the 83sigma terminal as standard; alternative weighing terminals are available upon request.
- Initial verification (conformity assessment) possible ex works.
Expandable functionality through accessories:
Our vehicle scale BF (low-profile) can be expanded with a variety of accessories to optimally meet individual requirements:
- Remote display for easy weight monitoring from a distance.
- Printers & weighing slips for reliable documentation.
- Vehicle weighing software WWS-F for capturing, analyzing, and managing weighing data.
- Wireless system & external control unit for convenient and efficient operation.
- Surveillance camera to check if vehicles are positioned completely on the weighbridge. (Photos are saved within the WWS-F software.)
- Identification systems for operating the scale via RFID (key fobs, ID cards)
- Traffic light system to signal when a weighing process is complete
- Rubber profiles (T-profile) to protect against dirt under the bridge
