Portable Truck Scales for Law Enforcement

Intercomp Portable Vehicle Weighing Systems for Roadside Enforcement (WIM and Static)

Intercomp offers a wide range of high-accuracy portable weighing systems for roadside enforcement (ITS/Law Enforcement) tasks, which are ideal for the quick and reliable determination of axle loads, gross vehicle weight, and overweight violations. These systems provide flexibility, accuracy, and robust design even in the most stringent operating conditions.

The offer includes Weigh-In-Motion (WIM), i.e., solutions suitable for in-motion weighing, as well as Portable Static Scales, which are excellently applicable at temporary inspection points, highways, ports, and border crossings.

Main Product Categories and Applications

Intercomp ITS/Enforcement scales focus on the following main areas:

1. Portable Weighing Systems (Portable Scales)

These systems allow for fast setup and flexible positioning, ideal for temporary inspection locations.

A. Portable Enforcement Scales (Portable Enforcement Scales)

These systems are lightweight solutions optimized for on-site enforcement.

• LP788™ Low-Profile Wheel Load Scales:
• Ideally suited for weighing individual axles or wheel pairs.
• Its low profile facilitates vehicle roll-on, minimizing the need to reduce driving speed.
• AX900™ Axle Scale Systems:
• Used for measuring total axle load with a robust design.
• A high-capacity, reliable solution for commercial vehicle enforcement.
• LTR788™ Dual Wheel Load Scales:
• Specifically designed for the accurate measurement of tandem or dual-wheel setups.

B. Portable Weigh-In-Motion – WIM Systems

These systems enable the enforcement weighing of vehicles at reduced speed (low-speed weighing), significantly increasing enforcement capacity.

• LS788-WIM™ Portable Weigh-In-Motion Scale:
• Optimized for high throughput measurement.
• Enables fast data acquisition without completely halting traffic.
• LS630-WIM™ Portable Low Speed Weigh-In-Motion Scale:
• Specifically designed for measurement while adhering to speed limits, while maintaining static scale accuracy.

2. In-Ground Weigh-In-Motion Systems

Permanent or semi-permanent installations that ensure maximum accuracy and continuous traffic monitoring.

• LS-WIM® In-Motion Axle Scale:
• An embedded solution ideally suited for highways and entry points.
• WIM Platform Scales:
• Full vehicle weight measurement platforms that can be integrated into existing road surfaces.
• Sensors (Strip Sensors):
• Flexible, embeddable sensors that can be placed into existing infrastructure.

For a complete solution, Intercomp offers the following:

• Force Measurement Test Stands:
• Essential tools for the calibration and regular inspection of measuring systems, ensuring credibility.
• Accessories for Vehicle Inspection Scales:
• Accessories for installation, protection, and increasing the efficiency of measurement.

Application Areas Beyond Roadside Enforcement

Although the focus is on roadside enforcement, these technologies are also applicable in other areas:

• Data Collection: Creating traffic counting and weight distribution statistics.
• Ports / Gates: Checking the weight of containers and vehicles upon entry/exit.
• Customs and Tolling (Tolling/ETC): Support for automatic weight-based tolling.
• Temporary Job Sites: Quick weight checks on construction or mining sites.

Advantages of Portable Systems in Roadside Enforcement

The use of portable WIM and static scales is fundamentally important for modern traffic safety and infrastructure protection:

1. Rugalmasság és Mobilitás: The systems can be quickly deployed and relocated, enabling authorities to react to traffic patterns or the frequency of offenses across different sectors.
2. Accuracy: Intercomp scales offer industry-leading accuracy, which is essential in cases of overweight violations carrying legal consequences. Static measurements (e.g., LP788™) are ideally suited for confirming vehicles flagged by WIM.
3. Traffic Throughput: WIM technology (LS788-WIM™) allows for continuous traffic monitoring, reducing congestion while filtering out overloaded vehicles.
4. Robust Construction: Technology proven in military and heavy industrial environments guarantees long service life and reliability even in extreme weather conditions.

These portable and deployable weighing solutions ensure that authorities can effectively enforce weight limits, thereby protecting the road network from excessive loading and increasing public safety.
