A Cambridgeshire firm, Mick George Haulage, has become the first
business in the UK to install a road weighbridge based on the
Weighbar principle.
After expanding its traditional earth and aggregate haulage business to include sand extraction and transportation, md Mick George identified the need for a rugged and accurate weighbridge.
The subsequent tender process, which placed a major emphasis on the speed of installation, resulted in the Newmarket based weighing specialist Todd Scales being awarded the contract.
From receiving the order right through to full commissioning only took three weeks.
Located at the entrance/exit of the site in St Ives, the 16m surface-mounted Weighbar weighbridge has a 50,000kg capacity and is linked to a Salter Weigh Tronix WI 120 electronic weight indicator, which allows tare and gross readings to be recorded as wagons enter and leave the site.
