There are a number of scales used in industry and transport: these are truck scales, animal scales, wagon scales, crane scales, railway scales, monorail scales, conveyor scales. The price for monorail scales and a full description of these and other scales can be found on the website of the manufacturer of weighing equipment, FizTech Group of Companies.
Consider the requirements for vehicle scales. They must have a large carrying capacity and accurately measure weight, and also be independent of the effects of atmospheric conditions. Truck scales with a large platform make it possible to measure the weight of different types of vehicles, which contributes to the expansion of their scope.
Platform truck scales have a large carrying capacity. The weight is recorded with the help of light and sound devices when the vehicle enters the platform. Truck scales of this type can be used to weigh entire road trains. Their disadvantage, with other advantages, is the high cost, which is due to the preparation of the appropriate base and other laborious installation work. Truck scales of this type can only be stationary, they cannot be transported.
Electronic automobile scales are widely used today. The measurement is carried out on the basis of the change in the value of electrical conductivity during deformation, which causes pressure of the load on the platform.
Mobile truck scales are used in the absence of stationary scales. Automobile scales can weigh both in a static position of the machine, and when it is moving. With the help of special load cells and software, when weighing, the commercial accounting of goods is immediately carried out.
Inexpensive track truck scales have a large carrying capacity and insignificant measurement error. The best way to use them is when weighing must be done at points that are at a considerable distance from each other. However, for enterprises with a constant high cargo turnover, they are not suitable, in this case, preference is given to electronic truck scales.
