Ramp scales
Ramp scales make up 90% of the scales produced and installed by WAGOWSKAZ. These scales are designed to be elevated above the ground, providing easy access to the necessary electronics during installation or maintenance. To limit unnecessary movement of the scale, special bumpers are installed to prevent excessive movement. The space created between the scale and the foundation can be easily cleaned using a pressure washer. Ensuring the longevity of the scale requires proper cleaning and maintenance.

How does a weighbridge work and what is it used for?
A weighbridge is a type of industrial scale designed for weighing vehicles and their loads. It consists of a platform placed on the ground or embedded in the floor, on which the vehicle drives. Thanks to strain gauge sensors, the scale precisely measures the weight.
What are the types of weighbridges?
Weighbridges are available in steel, concrete, and steel-concrete versions. Depending on the needs, they can be portable or stationary and come in different measurement ranges and platform lengths.
What are the installation requirements for a weighbridge?
Installation requires a suitable foundation to ensure stability and measurement accuracy. The weighbridge can be mounted on the surface (with ramps) or embedded in a specially prepared foundation. Technical conditions such as power supply and optional integration with weighing systems are also essential.
Do weighbridges require legal certification and regular calibration?
Yes, according to regulations, weighbridges used for commercial transactions must be legally certified. Regular calibration is also recommended to ensure measurement accuracy, especially with intensive use.
