Available Configurations ⬇
Above Ground Steel Deck Weighbridge
Ideal for sites with ample space, the above ground Centurion Steel Weighbridge is designed for quick installation with minimal civil work compared to pit weighbridges. This type of weighbridge requires at least a 1-meter clearance around the structure, ensuring easy access for maintenance and cleaning. Its elevated design eliminates the need for extensive excavation, making it a cost-effective solution for many applications.
Pit/Semi Pit Steel Deck Weighbridge
Pit or semi-pit weighbridges are engineered for environments where space is limited, providing a practical solution that integrates seamlessly with existing ground levels. By being partially recessed into the ground, these weighbridges allow for easier loading and unloading of vehicles, reducing the need for ramps and minimising the height difference between the weighbridge and the vehicle. While this configuration requires more civil work compared to above-ground options, pit weighbridges are often favored for their durability and the protection they offer against adverse weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance over the long term.
Multi Deck / Single Deck
Single-Deck
Multi-Deck
The Single Deck design is the most common weighbridge design, ideal for applications focusing on measuring net or gross loads.
A single-deck weighbridge is primarily used to measure the total gross weight of vehicles passing onto the bridge. The fallback is that determining the weight of different axle groups with this type of weighbridge can be difficult.
One solution that customers have used is the SPLIT weighing technique, which involves positioning part of the truck on level ground either before or after the scale. We do not recommend this method as a work-around for axle group weighing, as it is known to be unreliable.
Despite this limitation, the single deck truck scale remains the most common and cost-effective option.
The Multi Deck Weighbridge design makes the weighing process faster and more efficient. It is designed to offer a dual-function solution, which allows you to see the weight of each individual axle group as well as the total net and gross weight in a single weighing operation, removing the need for unreliable SPLIT weighing techniques.
A Multi-Deck design generally has reduced calibration costs, as the system requires less dead weight during calibration or NMI Verification processes.
A Multi-Deck weighbridge configuration is also the most recommeneded weighbridge configuration for properly meeting Chain of Responsibility Compliance regulations.
Features
NMI Certified for Trade Legal Weighing
The Centurion Steel Deck holds NMI Certification for Trade-Approved weighing, ensuring it fully complies with all regulatory standards for commercial use. This makes it an ideal option for businesses that need precise weight data for trade and legal compliance.
Effortless Maintenance
The Centurion’s innovative design minimises debris accumulation and makes service and maintenance simple. The design has large cover plates that allow maintenance and repairs to be performed from the top of the scale instead of from underneath, eliminating the need for extensive disassembly.
Portable Solution
The Centurion Steel Deck is designed to be easily transportable if the need arises to move it to a different location on site.
Robust Steel Construction
Built from high-grade steel, the Centurion Steel Deck Weighbridge ensures exceptional durability and longevity, withstanding heavy loads and harsh environmental conditions.
Weather-Resistant Finishes Available
Multiple finishing services available including painted and hot dip galvanised, guaranteeing the weighbridge is resistant to corrosion and wear, extending its lifespan and maintaining aesthetic appeal..
Flexible Installation Options
The Centurion can be installed on various surfaces, including asphalt and concrete, providing versatility for different site conditions and soil types.
Chain of Responsibility Compliance
The Centurion Weighbridge is designed to help businesses meet CoR compliance effectively.
The Centurion can be installed in a Multi-Deck configuration, which unlike single-deck systems that focus on individual axle weights, the multi-deck design evaluates the total weight of axle groups, from single to quad axles.
This approach is critical because enforcement bodies now prioritise axle group weights over individual axle measurements. This change accounts for potential load shifts that can skew individual axle readings, making group weights the regulatory standard.
By using a Multi-Deck Weighbridge, Australian businesses can be sure that any vehicles passing are loaded within legal limits, thereby minimising the risk of penalties and enhancing road safety. The Centurion Weighbridge provides precise, reliable measurements that support your compliance efforts, allowing you to confidently meet CoR requirements while optimising your transport operations.
NMI Trade Verified for Trade Weighing Applications
The National Measurement Institute oversees the certification of trade-approved weighbridges. Generally, if you plan to use a weighbridge for any of the following purposes then you will need a trade-approved weighbridge.
- Purchasing or selling goods
- Calculating freight costs or other charges based on weight
- Assessing taxes
The Centurion Steel Deck Weighbridge is fully NMI Trade Verified, making it an ideal solution for trade weighing applications.
