Multi-Deck Weighbridges & Multi-Platform Truck Scales
A multi deck weighbridge (also termed a multi-platform truck scale or split-deck weighbridge) uses independent platforms to verify steer, drive, and trailer axle-group loads alongside total Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) in a single stationary cycle. Engineered for multi-axle trailers, articulated haulers, and road trains, it streamlines fleet throughput and load distribution analysis.
- Modular Platform Configurations: Built in 2, 3, or 4 independent deck modules in standard lengths of 18m, 20m, 24m, up to 30m, supporting 60t, 80t, 100t, to 150t+ gross capacities (40t–60t per module).
- Simultaneous Axle & GVW Verification: Multi-channel electronics capture individual axle loads and total tonnage simultaneously, speeding up weighing cycles and minimizing vehicle repositioning.
- Axle Imbalance & Overload Monitoring: Identifies uneven cargo distribution and localized axle overloads before highway dispatch, supporting weight compliance and transport safety.
- Precision Load Cell Instrumentation: Equipped with OIML-compliant industrial load cells and multi-channel summing units to ensure stable, repeatable measurements across all platforms.
- Automated Logistics Integration: Supports integration with weighbridge software, ANPR cameras, RFID readers, and driver self-service kiosks for automated vehicle logging.
- Turnkey Regional Support: ZFA provides foundation engineering, system calibration, commissioning, and technical maintenance across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the GCC.
Q&A
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multi deck weighbridge?
A multiple deck weighbridge is a specialized truck weighing system with independent platforms designed to measure individual axle group loads and total Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) in a single weighing cycle.
What are the benefits of a multi deck weighbridge?
It enables simultaneous axle group and GVW measurement, improves load distribution analysis, reduces vehicle repositioning, and supports more efficient weighing of multi-axle trucks.
How much does a multi deck weighbridge cost?
The cost depends on platform dimensions, weighing capacity, number of decks, load cell specifications, automation requirements, and site conditions. Contact ZFA for a project-specific quotation.
Where is a multi deck weighbridge used?
They are commonly used in logistics hubs, mining operations, bulk handling facilities, ports, and industrial transport terminals that handle heavy or multi-axle vehicles.
Can a multiple deck weighbridge weigh articulated trucks and trailers?
Yes. It is designed for multi-axle trucks, articulated vehicles, and trailers, allowing operators to monitor individual axle group loads and total vehicle weight.
Does a multiple deck weighbridge support automation and data logging?
Yes. Depending on the configuration, it can integrate with weighbridge software, PLC systems, and data logging solutions to automate weight recording and vehicle tracking.
Why choose a multiple deck weighbridge?
Choose a multiple deck weighbridge when your operations require individual axle group measurement alongside total vehicle weight, particularly for multi-axle vehicles and applications that require detailed load distribution monitoring.
