Ultraslim Wheel Load Scale

Massload’s rugged in-ground slow speed weigh-in-motion vehicle scales provide reliable vehicle traffic data capture, collection and reporting

Highlights

  • Permanent, dynamic weighing process
  • Obtain truck and vehicle weight quickly
  • Truck weight accurate to 3% GVW, 95% CI
  • Slow speed applications (less than 16 km/hr)
  • Exceeds ASTM IV guidelines for slow speed WIM
  • Reliable scale system limited maintenance
  • Easy to Use Feature rich Weigh-in-Motion Software (WIMv5) includes axle weight, axle group weight, GVW, speed, overweight indication, automatic vehicle classification
  • WIMv5 built on Windows .NET platform for Windows 10 x64 bits
  • 7 year warranty on frame, 2 year for load cells

Each weigh pad comes with two attachable ramps for static weighing. Should dynamic weighing be required, we recommend extra long weigh pads (1 meter) and leveling track. See portable weigh-in-motion for more information on using Ultraslim weigh scales to obtain dynamic weight.

These weigh pads are not legal-for-trade in obtaining static weight or dynamic weight.

Installation of Massload’s permanent weight in motion scale is simple. An approximate hole must be cut through the surface of the roadway where the scale will be placed. Scale frames are then bolted together with braces which will later be used to keep the scale flush with surrounding concrete.

Proper drainage is provided to the cutout and the scale frames are then suspended over the cutout. The braces ensure the permanent pads are installed flush with the surrounding concrete to ensure a level approach to the scale and a level departure from the scale.

The first pour creates the bottom of the scale pit. After the first pour has had time to cure, the second pour fills the outer portion of the scale cutout. Load cells, cables, sum boxes, LCIB computer interface, and WIM software are now ready to be installed to finish the scale installation.
