Portable Weighing Systems for Temporary Job Sites and Axle Weighing
This product family offers state-of-the-art portable weighing solutions specifically designed for temporary job sites, construction areas, and flexible axle and vehicle weighing. The systems ensure excellent accuracy, robust design, and exceptional portability, making them ideal for environments where permanently installed truck scales cannot be used.
Overview and Application Areas
Intercomp portable scales are critical for weight compliance, optimizing material flow, and ensuring regulatory adherence. The flexible design allows for quick setup and dismantling, minimizing downtime.
Main application areas:
- Temporary Work Sites: Construction sites, quarries, forestry areas where quick and accurate verification of truck weights is required before loading or leaving the site.
- Axle & Vehicle Weighing: Accurate axle load measurement, essential for preventing vehicle overloading and ensuring compliance with road regulations.
- Freight Terminals and Logistics: Quick weight measurement during loading and unloading, as well as cargo verification.
- Commercial Fleets: Monitoring fleet weight data to increase efficiency.
- Next Generation Vehicles: Compatibility with electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous trucks.
Main Product Families and Technology Solutions
The offering includes both static weighing solutions and systems suitable for high-speed weighing.
1. Portable Vehicle Weighing Systems
These systems are used to weigh the total vehicle weight or axle load, providing fast deployment.
- AX900™ Weigh Beams: Robust, high-capacity solutions ideal for the harshest operating conditions.
- SW™ Portable Weigh Pads: Modular systems that are extremely easy to transport and install.
2. Portable Wheel Scales
These compact units are specialized for axle-by-axle or wheel-by-wheel measurement, offering maximum flexibility.
- PT300™ Wheel Load Scale: Fundamental, reliable solution for measuring axle load.
- PT300DW™ Wide Wheel Scale: Optimized specifically for wider tread surfaces or special vehicles.
- LTR788™ Dual Wheel Scale: Enables simultaneous measurement of dual wheels for more accurate load distribution.
3. Portable Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Scales
These systems enable axle weight determination while vehicles are moving slowly (Low-Speed WIM) or even faster (WIM), significantly increasing throughput capacity.
- LS630-WIM™ Portable LS-WIM Truck Scale: Low-speed WIM technology, ideal for quick checks on temporary sites.
- LS-WIM® Weigh-In-Motion Axle Scales: High-precision WIM solutions that record axle load while the vehicle passes slowly.
4. Low Profile Scales
These scales require minimal ramping, facilitating vehicle approach while maintaining high capacity.
- LP600™ Low-Profile Scale: Excellently suited for locations where installation depth is limited.
- LP788™ Portable Low-Profile Scale: The combination of portability and low-profile design.
