A weighbridge, also known as a truck scale, is a large platform used to measure the weight of vehicles and their contents. The structure of a weighbridge is designed to accommodate heavy loads and withstand harsh environmental conditions while providing accurate and reliable weight measurements.The platform is typically made from robust materials such as steel or concrete to ensure durability and strength.

It can be either surface-mounted or pit-mounted. Surface-mounted weighbridges are installed above ground level, while pit-mounted weighbridges are installed flush with the ground.Load cells are the critical components that measure the weight. They are strategically placed under the platform to ensure even weight distribution and accurate measurements.Load cells can be either analog or digital, with digital load cells offering higher accuracy and easier integration with modern IT systems.
