Truck weighing scale
40 - 135 t Avery Weigh-Tronix

For two decades Weigh-Tronix has built premium truck scales that have become the performance benchmark for ruggedness and performance in heavy use applications. Now Weigh-Tronix has introduced a new class of truck scale, the BridgeMont. It is a scale for the majority of users, the people who require a scale they can count on, day in and day out.

BridgeMont designers asked new questions: How do you reduce the cost of truck scale ownership?

As they began the development of the new BridgeMont truck scale, Weigh-Tronix designers recognized that their strength was building truck scales with long service life. Now they needed to ask "How do we build the same quality into a scale for general use? How do we provide the product that gives long years of service without over building? What design choices do we make that will reduce the cost of truck scale ownership?"

Structural integrity, the biggest variable in cost of ownership.
Weigh-Tronix designers employed a technology called Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to the design of the BridgeMont to substantially reduce the cost of our standard truck scale without sacrificing structural integrity.

Weigh-Tronix engineers created computer generated models of each proposed design for the new BridgeMont Truck Scale. The FEA technology permitted them to measure critical stress factors on virtually every component of the scale, testing the new designs under worst case conditions. They could test the performance of the deck when it is improperly loaded, checking for potential damage and premature wear.
