HEMAK Truck and Weighbridge Scales for Precision Truck Weighing

Truck scales, often referred to as weighbridges, are used to accurately weigh trucks, combinations, and materials when receiving, dispatching, or inspecting cargo.

They are mainly used in industry, logistics, agriculture, recycling, construction, quarries, gravel and concrete plants. They are not only important for operation because of their weight alone. They also help with material registration, carrier control, warehouse records, invoicing and vehicle movement management in the area.

HEMAK supplies road and weighbridges with a capacity of 60 tons, including the possibility of service, modernization and automation of weighing with the SCALIS system.

What Truck Scales Does HEMAK Supply

HEMAK proposes solutions according to the type of operation, vehicles used, space, number of weighings per day and method of registration. Classic weighbridges are also available as well as more flexible solutions for operations where easier installation or a temporary weighing location is required.

The main solutions include:

type

HEM-LP Lightweight Portable Road Scale	A flexible solution for truck weighing or a temporary weighing site without extensive construction preparation. Can be supplemented with SCALIS automation.	Easier installation Can be moved as needed Faster deployment compared to a conventional weighbridge Can be supplemented with weighing software, display or recording elements	Temporary weighing sites, checkweighing, agriculture, construction and recycling operations, sites without extensive construction preparation.

Drive-in or recessed truck scale

A road or weighbridge scale can be designed as a ramp or recessed scale.

The drive-in road scale is mounted above ground level and vehicles enter it through ramps. The advantage is easier construction preparation and good access to technology.

The recessed truck scale is mounted at road level. It is particularly suitable for operations with limited space or where smooth passage of vehicles through a serious location is required.

The choice of design depends on the space, the flow of vehicles, the construction options and how the scale is used.

What to consider when choosing a truck scale

When choosing a road or weighbridge, it is not enough to look only at the capacity. It is important to assess the real operating conditions.

When designing a solution, it is advisable to take into account in particular:

the type and length of the vehicles;
number of weighings per day,
Available space
the need for commercial weighing;
the method of operating the scale,
requirements for material records,
service, calibration and official verification,
possibility of connection to software or ERP system,
future weighing automation.

A properly designed truck scale helps speed up weighing, reduce errors, and gain a reliable view of material movement in the plant.

Truck Scale Automation with SCALIS

A modern truck scale does not have to work only as a stand-alone device. HEMAK can connect road and weighbridge scales with the SCALIS system, which automates weighing, vehicle identification and material registration.

SCALIS allows the scale to be connected to a self-service terminal, license plate camera, RFID or QR identification, traffic lights, barriers, camera system and internal customer software.

Weighing automation can bring:

faster vehicle check-in,
Less manual data entry
lower risk of errors;
Digital weighing tickets,
better overview of materials, carriers and orders,
Possibility of connection to an ERP or warehouse system.

For operations with a higher number of weighings per day, automation can greatly simplify the entire process.

Service and Modernization of Road Scales

HEMAK also provides service, modernization and technical support of road and weighbridges. For existing scales, we can check the state of technology, prepare a service inspection, deal with calibration, official verification or add new automation elements.

Modernisation may include the replacement or addition of:

sensors,
weighing electronics,
weighing software,
a large-screen display,
camera system,
license plate readers,
self-service terminal,
connection to SCALIS or ERP system.

In many cases, it is not necessary to change the entire scale. It is enough to upgrade selected parts of the technology to better meet the current requirements of the operation.

Who are HEMAK truck scales suitable for?

HEMAK road and weighbridge scales are suitable for operations where regular weighing of trucks, combinations or materials is required.

The most common are:

quarries and gravel pits,
concrete plants,
recycling facilities,
logistics centres,
farms;
construction companies,
production and industrial sites,
operations with input and output records of material.

Do you need a truck scale or a weighing upgrade? If you are dealing with a new truck scale, upgrading existing technology, servicing or automating weighing, HEMAK will help you design a solution according to your operation, space and method of registration. We will check the type of vehicles, the required design, the number of weighings per day and the automation options.
