Weighbridges by SWIA

Not sure where to start? Then read over these questions to get a better idea on what you should be looking for.

What makes SWIA's weighbridges different from others on the market?

SWIA’s weighbridges are the culmination of over 4 decades of design and manufacturing experience matched with leading-edge weighing technologies. Our tailored solutions are backed by local services teams and locally stocked parts. Our weighbridge software option and integration capabilities provide additional value, allowing seamless processing and reporting for your operations.

How often should I service and calibrate my weighbridge?

Regular maintenance is critical to maintaining accurate and repeatable measurements. SWIA recommends that our licensed technicians conduct a preventative maintenance inspection service of the hard-working components and electronics, such as the loadcells, travel stops and weight displays every 6 months and calibration adjustment and verification every 12 months. Our expert team may recommend an alternative maintenance schedule based on your specific environment, usage or historical performance.

What should I do if my weighbridge gives inaccurate readings?

If you notice weight discrepancies, it’s essential to first check that the weighbridge is moving freely under load and is not binding on a build-up of debris underneath the deck or something that is caught between the weighbridge deck and any pit walls that may be impeding the repeatability of weights. These are very common faults that is easily managed with good house-keeping practices. If there is no obvious binding, SWIA can provide on site diagnostic services to troubleshoot and resolve any weighing errors efficiently.

What are the differences between an above-ground and pitted weighbridge?

What are the differences between an above-ground and pitted weighbridge? An above-ground weighbridge is better suited to high rainfall regions as water can easily escape the weighbridge foundation and loadcells. An above-ground weighbridge also allows for easier access for cleaning from under the deck and general maintenance. The trade-off is that, in most cases, ramps are required which increases the on-site footprint of the weighbridge.

A pit weighbridge is should be considered to reduce the overall weighbridge footprint by eliminating the need for ramps.

This type of installation is also suited for END-and-END weighing of larger vehicle combinations in two weighs, or for axle group (sometimes referred to as split weighing). The weighbridge approach and exit needs to be flat and level so that the section of the vehicle that is not on the weighbridge is level in the same plane as the weighbridge deck to achieve the best accuracy possible. This method of weighing is not as accurate as weighing the compete vehicle in one transaction.

When planning a pit weighbridge stormwater drainage and access for cleaning and maintenance is an important consideration.

Can SWIA take care of installation and maintenance?

Yes! SWIA offers end-to-end services, from supplying and installing your weighbridge to scheduled servicing, compliance audits, and legal-for-trade verifications. We ensure your system runs smoothly from day one.
