The RWS Axle Weighing Scale is ideal for clients who need to comply with the laws of the Public Highway in respect of the axle weights and SOLAS regulations.

Axle Weighing Scales vs Weighbridges

The key benefit of the an Axle Weighing Scale over a typical weighbridge is that it will give you accurate weights across each axle to prevent overloaded vehicles being permitted to enter the public highway system, whereas a weighbridge will only give you the overall Gross weight of the vehicle. It is widely known that during routine vehicle stops every axle will be checked. Without careful loading of trailers, individual axles maybe overloaded, even if the gross vehicle weight is under the maximum permitted load. In this situation, the driver will incorrectly deem the vehicle to be safe.

The RWS Axle Weighing Scale comes with a reinforced platform which allows you to calculate the weight of a vehicle in transit. Designed for a flush floor installation, the axles are weighed dynamically.

The scale comes with a sturdy loading surface in striated sheet steel, sized to withstand any load on the basis of the parameters dictated by the 96/53/EEC directive (maximum load on single axle for the vehicles transiting in Europe).

The frame for the containment of the RWSCP platform is made up of a single bearing structure, in welded painted steel, that does not require assembly. It facilitates the installation of the scale and simplifies the masonry.

The scale is sandblasted and varnished with bi-component epoxy coating making it highly resistant to corrosion.
