3 ways to ensure regular maintenance for long-lasting Weighbridge

Those planning to get a weighbridge obviously know its utility, those already using are experiencing its utility and addicted to it. And they know how crucial it is to their business to be able to measure products and supplies loaded on heavy goods vehicles accurately. Hence every user wants a long-lasting weighbridge which is not really difficult to achieve.

All you need is to spend time and efforts on regular maintenance of weighbridges to add more life to them. Here are a few tips for you:

1. Pit mounted weighbridge – check and clean daily the mud and dirt build-up which might affect the functionality and affect its performance.
2. Surface-mounted weighbridge- Similarly, here it is important to keep a space clear between the weighbridge structure and ground. No, build-up, dust, and dirt are allowed as they might hamper the working.  So more or less it is similar to keep checking and clearing dirt off the setup. Especially the load cells should be free of any debris in order to avoid any misbehavior of the scale.
3. Rubber T Sections - Various models of weighbridge possess a ‘T’ shaped rubber insert which is placed between the main structure and the surroundings. Basically, these stop unwanted dirt to enter and block the space beneath the weighbridge and around the load cells. However, it is still advisable to keep an eye, and clean whenever required to get rid of unwanted materials that might cause serious implications in the future.

According to Amarscales (one of the top weighbridge manufacturer in the country) – A small test needs to be done in order to check the potential issues where you simply need to take readings of the same truck parking at different parts of the weighbridge. Different reading shouldn’t have many variations if it does mean a specialist needs to be called for maintenance.
