Weighbridge Foundation Solutions: Piers and Above-Ground Foundations
The reliability and accuracy of weighing systems depend significantly on the proper foundation. Excellently engineered foundations make it possible to install weighbridges even in less stable ground conditions, ensuring optimal loading of the cells and precise, efficient measurement. The appropriate foundation guarantees the long-term stability, safety, and convenience of the scale.
In our offer, you can find foundation solutions tailored to various installation requirements, which complement the selected weighbridge:
- Simple Pier Foundation: Ideális a süllyesztett és a talajszintre telepített hídmérlegekhez.
- Large Pier Foundation: Specifically recommended for weighbridges installed at ground level.
Select the weighbridge that meets your needs, and complement it with the perfect foundation solution!
Weighbridge Models and Their Characteristics
We present the members of our weighbridge family, featuring different structural designs and installation possibilities:
1. BPPCE EVO – Fully Modular Steel Structure Weighbridge
A BPPCE EVO egy moduláris, teljesen fémből készült hídmérleg, amely rugalmas telepítési lehetőségeket kínál: telepíthető talajszintre vagy süllyesztett kivitelben.
Key Features and Advantages:
- Fully Steel Construction: Ensures excellent durability and mechanical resistance.
- Installation Flexibility: Suitable for both ground-level and sunken (pit) installation.
- Corrosion Protection: Optionally available with a galvanized coating, which significantly increases resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor, wet environments.
- Modular Design: Easy transport and quick installation.
2. BPPSE EVO – Steel and Concrete Structure Weighbridge
The BPPSE EVO is a robust, steel and concrete structure weighbridge, which can also be installed at ground level or in a sunken manner.
Key Features and Advantages:
- Hybrid Structure: The strength of the steel frame is combined with the mass and stability of the concrete.
- Installation Option:
- Factory Concrete Bedding: The weighbridge can already be ordered with a factory-poured concrete deck, which minimizes on-site work.
- Site Poured Concrete: It is possible to perform the concreting work on-site during the installation, which provides greater flexibility during the build.
- Installation Methods: Can be installed at ground level or fully embedded (pit-installed) method.
3. BPCTH – Fém és Beton Szerkezetű, Testre szabható Hídmérleg
The BPCTH is a steel structure weighbridge supplemented with concrete elements, allowing for the highest level of adaptation to environmental conditions.
Key Features and Advantages:
- Kiterjedt Strukturális Testre szabhatóság: Offers numerous structural and installation options.
- Environmental Adaptation: Specifically designed to be optimally adaptable to the most diverse environmental requirements and ground conditions.
- Stability: The combination of steel and concrete provides exceptional stability for high-capacity measurements.
4. BPGSM – Modular, Smooth Plate Pit Scale
A BPGSM egy moduláris felépítésű hídmérleg, amely sima felülettel rendelkezik.
Key Features and Advantages:
- Modular Design: Simplifies shipping and installation.
- Smooth Surface: Ensures easy cleaning and maneuverability for vehicles.
- Robustness: The structural rigidity guarantees reliable operation.

The Importance of Proper Foundation
The foundation of weighbridges is not just a mechanical task; it is the cornerstone of measurement accuracy. A poorly designed or executed foundation can lead to serious problems:
- Load Distribution: A teherérzékelő cellák csak akkor működnek optimálisan, ha rájuk nehezedő terhelés egyenletes és függőleges. A nem megfelelő alapzat esetén a talaj egyenetlen süllyedése vagy elmozdulása torzítja a cellákat, ami azonnali pontatlanságot eredményez.
- Stability and Safety: A solid foundation ensures that the scale does not move, even under extreme weather conditions or high traffic. This increases the lifespan of the equipment and the safety of personnel.
- Environmental Adaptability: Különösen azokon a területeken, ahol a talajvízszint magas, vagy a talaj összetétele laza (pl.: feltöltött területek), az alapozási megoldásoknak (mint a süllyesztett aknák vagy a megerősített pillérek) meg kell akadályozniuk a víz behatolását és a szerkezet elmozdulását.
Thanks to appropriate engineering design, the weighbridge can be installed even in areas with non-ideal soil conditions, guaranteeing long-term, reliable performance.
