PIT LESS WEIGHBRIDGE
This type of weighbridge / Truck scale is most suitable where the excavation work for foundation is difficult or construction of pit is expensive. Since the structure is above ground level, vehicles can approach the weighbridge only from two directions where the ramps are provided. This type of weighbridge requires more space.
Benefits
- Costly Pit construction is eliminated.
- Platform above ground level- No water logging during rainy season.
- Problem of pit maintenance is eliminated.
- Easy maintenance since all parts accessible above ground level.
Robust Load Cells & Digitizers
The most important components of an electronic weighbridge are the load cells and digitizers. EAGLE has made both of them very robust and hence, the best available in the country.
Technical Specifications
| TYPE OF SCALE | PITLESS TYPE |
| Cost | Less expensive due to less construction work |
| Service & Scale Repairs | Less difficult or costly and serviced from above |
| Clean Out | Quick and easy, done with a water hose or compressor from the side |
| Scale Ispection | Can be performed by simply walking around the perimeter or the scale |
| Restrictions Or Hazaeds | Some states require specified clearances underneath scale |
| Approaches | 10’ Flat and level |
| Ramps | Typically 25’ long on each end of the ramp. Requires more real estate to install and operate |
| Electricity Needed | None |
ADVANTAGES
Highly Durable Girders and Plates
A truck to be weighed is directly driven to the platform of a weighbridge and hence, the platform is subjected to the entire load and vibrations created by a moving truck. Our weighbridge platforms (made of steel) are designed very carefully to withstand these loads without damage and is highly durable. The girders and plates used in our platform are selected very carefully and undergo stringent quality checks as per ISI & IS 2062 Grade.
Reliable Mounting Assembly For Load Cells
The next most important component is the mounting assembly for load cells. This transfers the load from the platform to the load cells. This is a cradle assembly which is free to move in the horizontal axes and hence takes all side loads generated due to the vehicular movements on the platform. The mounting assembly consists of three parts namely, the Bottom Plate, Rocker assembly and Top Bracket.
Low Resistance Cables And Weather Proof Junction Box
The signal from the load cells (in milli-volt) is carried to the digitizer, in the control room, through a 4 – core shielded cable. The cable has a very low electrical resistance and hence, no loss of signals. The cables from different load cells, in a weighbridge, meets in weather proof junction box. The junction Box is of fully molded type and houses the necessary terminal blocks for interconnection of load cell out puts. The Junction box also carries a set of surge arrestors, to protect the entire system from lightning and electrical surges.
