What are the differences between truck scale and weighbridge?

In fact, the truck scale, which is commonly referred to as the weighbridge, is a large weighbridge specially used for weighing truck loads. It is a more professional statement relative to its application field, and it will be called the truck scale, mainly because the truck scale belongs to an important weighing product in the electronic scale, and large electronic weighbridges are mostly used for weighing truck loads. Therefore, the industry has given this kind of electronic weighbridge such a name.

However, the origin of the truck scale is different from the electronic weighbridge. The main difference between the truck scale and the electronic weighbridge is the item they weighing. The large electronic weighbridge used to weigh truck loads is generally called truck scale rather than electronic weighbridge. Because the load capacity of automobiles is very large, from tens of tons to 200 tons. At present, electronic weighbridge is used to weigh some items with small weight (such as less than 10 tons), generally used in factory workshops and commercial trade institutions.

Therefore, the floor area of the truck scale must be larger than that of the weighbridge. Its weighing range and table size are larger than those of the electronic weighbridge. Generally speaking, the weighing range of the electronic weighbridge is 500 kg, 800 kg, 1 t, 1.5 t, 2 t, 3 t, 5 t, 10 t, and those above 10 t are called truck scales.

The truck scale is mainly used on vehicles. The truck scale is mainly used in construction sites, logistics companies, large farms, grain purchase and other places. The weight of goods is obtained by subtracting the weight of empty trucks from the weight of loaded trucks, so as to calculate the transportation cost. In fact, truck scales are used together with other electronic scales on many occasions. They perform their own duties in the weighing field and provide weighing and metering services for enterprises, factories and commercial organizations.
