Description

Additional information

LS788-WIM™ Portable Weigh-In-Motion (Weigh-In-Motion) Weighing System

The LS788-WIM™ portable Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) weighing system is an extremely flexible and reliable solution for weighing vehicle axle and axle group weights, as well as gross vehicle weight, while in motion. This system is an ideal choice for roadside enforcement, traffic counting, toll collection, and other applications where fast, accurate, and temporary weighing capability is required.

Thanks to its portability and quick setup, the LS788-WIM™ allows authorities and operators to react flexibly to changing demands without being dependent on permanent weighing stations.

Key Features and Advantages

Exceptional Portability and Quick Setup: The system has a compact design, is easy to transport, and can be quickly deployed on any firm, level surface. This minimizes road closure times and increases the efficiency of inspection operations.

High-Accuracy Weighing in Motion: The LS788-WIM™ utilizes advanced sensor technology that ensures highly accurate determination of axle and axle group weights, even when vehicles are passing over the weighing surface at relatively high speeds. This is critical for identifying overweight vehicles and protecting road infrastructure.

Robust Construction: The weighing scales (pads) are made from durable materials to withstand the continuous load of heavy goods vehicles and varying environmental conditions. The system resists extreme weather conditions, ensuring reliable operation in the field.

Integrated Data Management: The associated displays and software allow for immediate capture, storage, and analysis of measured data. This supports the creation of detailed traffic statistics and the generation of inspection logs.

Versatile Application: Ideal Applications:

  • Roadside Enforcement: Quick screening of overweight vehicles.
  • Traffic Data Collection: Measurement of axle load profiles and traffic volume.
  • Temporary Sites: Creation of quickly deployable weighing points.
  • Logistics and Terminal Operations: Weight verification for loading and unloading processes.

Technical Specifications

The specifications for the LS788-WIM™ system are as follows (exact figures may vary depending on configuration):

Parameter Spezification Note
Measurement Mode Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) Optimized for low-speed applications.
Portability Fully portable system Quick setup and dismantling.
Axle Load Capacity Within a specified range (e.g.: 15,000 kg / 33,000 lb per axle) May vary depending on the configuration.
Total Vehicle Capacity Within a specified range (e.g.: 80,000 kg / 180,000 lb) Depends on the number and arrangement of axles.
Accuracy (WIM) Generally ± 3% – ± 5% depending on speed Separate weighbridges are required for static weighing.
Operating Speed Range Low-speed WIM (typically 5-15 km/h) Speed recommended for achieving maximum accuracy.
Display Unit Digital display (several options available) With data logging and printing capability.
Communication Serial or wireless connection to the display For data transfer and control.
Tápellátás Battery or mains power supply For field flexibility.

System Components

The LS788-WIM™ system generally consists of the following main components:

  1. Portable Weigh-In-Motion Scales: These are units containing extremely robust, low-profile sensors, placed in the path of the vehicle. The high load capacity design ensures accurate weight transfer.
  2. Display and Data Logger Unit: This central unit receives signals from the sensors, processes them, displays the measured weights (axle, axle group, gross weight), and performs data storage. Displays often feature a touchscreen interface for easy operation.
  3. Cabling and Connectors: Industrial-grade, robust cables and quick connectors ensure reliable signal transmission between the load cells and the display, even in harsh environments.
  4. Transportation and Shipping Solutions: The entire system is supplied in storage units that are easily movable and suitable for protected transport.

Application Areas Details

Roadside Enforcement and Regulation

The LS788-WIM™ is a key device for roadside safety and infrastructure protection. Authorities can quickly deploy the system on busy roadways to identify vehicles exceeding permitted axle load or gross weight limits. The WIM capability allows for traffic screening, where only suspect vehicles need to be stopped for precise, static weighing, thus reducing inspection time.

Traffic Data Collection and Road Maintenance

The system is ideally suited for long-term or temporary traffic surveys. The collected data (axle configuration, weight distribution) is essential for designing road pavements, estimating lifespan, and determining maintenance priorities. Portability allows for frequent changes in sampling locations to ensure representative data.

Logistics and Terminal Operations

In logistics centers, ports, or rail terminals, the LS788-WIM™ can assist in quickly weighing incoming and outgoing vehicles, ensuring cargo accuracy and compliance with internal regulations without significantly slowing down the normal flow.

Operational Advantages

The LS788-WIM™ is not just a measuring device; it is a complete solution for the challenges of dynamic weight measurement:

  • Time Saving: WIM technology drastically reduces the time required per vehicle for measurement compared to static weighing.
  • Safety: Vehicles pass over the weighing pads at a reduced speed, making the inspection points safer.
  • Flexibility: Can be used on any solid surface, ideal for temporary or mobile inspection stations.
  • Data Quality: Professional displays and software guarantee the credibility of the measured data and easy archiving.

The LS788-WIM™ combines reliability, accuracy, and portability, offering a market-leading solution for meeting in-motion weighing requirements.
