weighbridges
Vehicle weighing platforms
Weighbridges are large scales designed to weigh vehicles and their loads, typically trucks carrying freight.
The vehicle drives onto a flat platform—the bridge—which measures total weight, allowing operators to calculate cargo weight by subtracting the known weight of the empty vehicle.
Weighbridges are essential at ports, quarries, farms, and distribution centers where goods are bought or sold by weight, and at highway checkpoints to enforce load limits.
