Vehicle scales 14-15 Heavy Duty

For heavier weights

To meet the need for heavier weighing and special vehicles, we have developed our Heavy Duty (HD) version of our successful vehicle scale type 14-15.
The scale is dimensioned to cope with single axle pressure of 32 tonnes, bogie pressure of 50 tonnes and triple bogie pressure of 60 tonnes. To cope with increased axel pressure, the weighbridges are carried out in sections of six metres.
The scale is offered with a width of up to four meters and with lengths of twelve meters and 24 meters. Other dimensions can be given after discussion with Flintab.

If there are additional requirements for axle pressure or width, two bridges can be placed in parallel. This gives a scale that can withstand an axle pressure of 75 tonnes.

Construction

Vehicle scale 14-15 HD is designed and manufactured using a method where the reinforcement is tensioned before casting. This manufacturing method provides superior durability, and the scale retains its original shape for accurate weighing results year after year. Service hatches are only needed for pitmounted scales, and they are located in the middle of the weighbridges. This is to reduce problems that otherwise arise if hatches are placed in the wheel tracks. The vehicle scale can be equipped with run-off protection for better safety and working environment.

Split weighing

In the standard version, Flintab’s Heavy Duty (HD) vehicle scale consists of six meter independent bridges, this gives the possibility of split weighing. Split weighing gives a more accurate scale and provides a faster weighing procedure, allows different materials on car and trailer. Another advantage of two bridges is that it provides increased operational reliability, as one of the bridges can always be kept in use for service and maintenance.

Heated weighbridge for increased operational reliability

To avoid icy bridges, downtime and incorrect weighing in winter, we recommend heating the scale. This increases the operational reliability of the scale in winter and that no “washboards” are formed by the cars when starting and stopping on the scale. Ice formation can significantly affect the weighing result and cause downtime. Therefore, we can offer to install heating in both the weighbridges and foundation to prevent ice formation from below.

Temperature and humidity sensors minimize energy costs and climate impact

As an option, you can choose our temperature and humidity sensor, which is molded into the scale. It significantly lowers energy consumption and minimizes climate impact. The sensor detects whether the bridges are dry despite freezing temperatures and then lowers the heat. For companies that are certified according to ISO 14001, our temperature and humidity sensor is an obvious choice.

Weighbridge options

Terminals

Terminals for self-service, the driver can identify himself and his material directly from his vehicle.

Ramp support

Ramp supports facilitate the construction of ramps for surface mounted installation.

Booms and traffic lights

Barriers and traffic lights to control traffic and to increase road safety.

RFID tag

RFID tag, for vehicle identification.

Automatic number plate recognition

Automatic number plate reading (ANPR) function.

Traffic management system

Traffic control system to control and guide traffic within a specific area.

Pivoting terminal bracket

Pivoting terminal bracket, can reduce damage to the terminal in the event of a collision.

Electric heating

Electric heating in foundations and weighbridges. Keeps the scale both traffic-safe and ice-free during the winter.

Run-off protection

Run-off protection in signal color.

Large display

Large display that gives the driver the opportunity to read the weight of his vehicle from a slightly longer distance.

Weighing camera

Camera for still image or video surveillance, identify the type of cargo on the vehicle.

Side walls

Prefabricated side walls for pit mounted scales.

Truck shaker grid

A truck shaker grid before the weighbridge reduces the risk of e.g. sand, gravel or snow slush ends up on the scale, which can affect operational reliability.

Waterborne heating

Water-borne heating for foundations and bridges, holds the bridges traffic safe and ice-free during the winter.

Reflective posts

Reflective posts that guide the driver on and off the scale.

Side skirts

Side skirts on the wave bridges reduce the risk of dirt ending up underneath
the weigh bridges and affects operational reliability.

Vehicle sensor

Photocell reading to identify that the entire vehicle is correctly on the scale.

Service hatches

Service hatches that are centrally located for good accessibility at
service and cleaning.

Steps to terminal

Stairs to terminal. Facilitates e.g. change of receipt roll.
