A public weighbridge was recently installed and certified for trade use at a quarry in South Moranbah in Central Queensland.
The public weighbridge measures 28 metres long by 3.5 metres wide to cater for truck and trailer combinations up to and including small road trains to be weighed.
MCG Quarries upgraded their requirement for a standard weighbridge to Public Weighbridge specifications to provide a service to local companies that don’t have access to a local weighbridge. MCG provided their own local civils contractor with QWM completing the physical weighbridge assembly, testing and public weighbridge certification.
The concrete deck weighbridge was manufactured in Brisbane by Accuweigh’s QWM branch that specialises in manufacturing weighbridges for extra heavy duty weighing applications. Ticket Aid Pro Public Weighbridge Software was supplied by Accuweigh’s own Weighbridge Software company, AASoftware to ensure compliance with public weighbridge regulations.
The single deck weighbridge uses eight heavy duty AccuCell weighbridge load cells that are manufactured in stainless steel with an IP68 rating for complete hermetic sealing. Due to its remote location away from mains power, the public weighbridge is powered by a UPS operating off a local generator.
Accuweigh is Australia’s largest supplier of weighbridges and has eight branches spread over all mainland states providing sales and service support on weighbridges and all industrial weighing applications.
