Fixed axle load scales have a wide range of applications across various industries due to their ability to provide continuous monitoring and handle high weight capacities. Here are some of the most common uses:

 

  • Weigh Stations: A primary application of fixed scales is in weigh stations operated by law enforcement agencies. These stations are strategically located on highways and major roads to enforce weight limits on commercial vehicles. Fixed scales ensure efficient and accurate weight enforcement, promoting road safety and preventing damage to infrastructure.

 

  • Toll Roads: On toll roads, fixed scales can be integrated with electronic toll collection systems. Vehicles are automatically weighed as they pass over the scale, and the toll fee is calculated based on the weight and axle configuration. This eliminates the need for toll booths, streamlining traffic flow and improving user experience.

 

  • Bridges and Tunnels: Fixed scales can be installed before or after bridges and tunnels. This allows for weight monitoring of vehicles and helps to ensure these structures are not overloaded. Protecting bridges and tunnels from excessive weight helps to extend their lifespan and reduces maintenance costs.

 

  • Industrial Facilities:Manufacturing plants, mines, and quarries can benefit from fixed scales for weighing incoming raw materials and outgoing finished products. This facilitates accurate inventory control, production monitoring, and ensures proper billing based on weight.

 

  • Waste Management Facilities: Fixed scales can be used to weigh incoming waste and outgoing recycled materials. This data helps waste management companies track waste diversion rates, optimize collection routes, and ensure accurate billing for waste disposal services.
