Fangda 80 ton weighbridge and truck scale is a heavy-duty electronic vehicle weighing system designed for trucks, trailers, construction vehicles and other commercial vehicles with a maximum weighing capacity of 80 tons.

The system uses a steel weighing platform, precision load cells, junction box and digital weighing indicator to measure vehicle weight accurately and consistently.

The 80 ton truck scale can be customized according to vehicle dimensions, weighing capacity, platform size, installation method, site conditions and local weighing requirements.

As part of Fangda's 30–200 ton truck scale range, the 80 ton model provides a practical capacity between standard commercial truck scales and higher-capacity heavy-duty weighbridges.

What Is an 80 Ton Weighbridge?

An 80 ton weighbridge is a vehicle weighing system with a maximum rated capacity of 80 tons.

The entire truck is positioned on the weighing platform and the load is transferred through the load cells to the weighing indicator.

A complete electronic 80 ton truck scale normally includes:

• Steel weighing platform

• Load cells

• Junction box

• Digital weighing indicator

• Foundation structure

• Approach ramps for pitless installation

• Weighing software as an optional component

Additional automation equipment can also be integrated for high-volume weighing operations.

Depending on the project, an 80 ton weighbridge can include RFID vehicle identification, license plate recognition, cameras, traffic lights, automatic barriers and weighing management software.

Why Choose an 80 Ton Truck Scale?

An 80 ton capacity can be suitable for projects where a 60 ton scale may not provide sufficient operating capacity but a 100 ton or larger scale may be unnecessary.

The correct capacity should always be selected according to the maximum gross vehicle weight and the actual operating conditions of the site.

An 80 ton weighbridge can be considered for:

• Logistics facilities

• Construction material yards

• Aggregate plants

• Industrial factories

• Agricultural facilities

• Waste transfer stations

• Transportation companies

• Warehouses

• Manufacturing plants

• General material handling operations

The rated capacity should not be selected solely from the average vehicle weight. The maximum expected gross vehicle weight and applicable safety margin should also be considered.

Heavy-Duty U-Beam Weighbridge Structure

Fangda truck scales can use high-strength U-beam steel structures designed for repeated vehicle loading.

The U-beam structure forms the main load-bearing framework beneath the weighing deck.

For an 80 ton truck scale, the structural design should consider:

• Maximum vehicle weight

• Axle loads

• Vehicle traffic frequency

• Off-center loading

• Platform dimensions

• Environmental conditions

• Foundation design

A scale installed at a high-volume logistics center may require a different structural configuration from a lower-volume agricultural or industrial site.

Fangda can customize the weighbridge structure according to the application.

80 Ton Weighbridge Platform Size

The platform dimensions should be selected according to the vehicles using the weighbridge.

Fangda supports customized platform widths and lengths across its truck scale range.

Typical configurations can include:

• 2.5 × 5 m

• 2.5 × 6 m

• 3 × 5 m

• 3 × 9 m

• 3 × 12 m

• 3 × 16 m

• 3 × 18 m

• 3 × 24 m

• Customized dimensions

For an 80 ton application, the platform length should be determined from the vehicle wheelbase, total vehicle length, axle configuration and local site requirements.

A longer platform may be required for long trailers or multi-axle vehicles.

The final platform dimensions should therefore be confirmed before production.

For higher-capacity applications, see the 100 Ton Weighbridge & Truck Scale.

C3 and C6 Load Cells

The load cell is the main sensing component of an electronic truck scale.

It converts the mechanical load applied to the weighing platform into an electrical signal that can be processed by the weighing indicator.

Fangda's truck scale configurations support C3 and C6 load cell options.

The appropriate load cell configuration depends on:

• Required weighing accuracy

• Application

• Platform design

• Environmental conditions

• Legal-for-trade requirements

• Local metrology regulations

For outdoor installations, IP68-rated load cells can be specified where additional protection from water and environmental exposure is required.

Pitless 80 Ton Weighbridge

A pitless weighbridge is installed above ground and normally uses ramps to allow trucks to access the platform.

This configuration can be suitable for sites where there is sufficient space for approach ramps and where the customer prefers not to construct a conventional weighing pit.

Potential advantages include:

• Easier inspection access

• Convenient drainage

• Reduced excavation

• Straightforward maintenance

• Flexible site installation

The foundation and ramp design still need to be prepared according to local civil engineering conditions.

Pit-Type 80 Ton Truck Scale

A pit-type truck scale is installed in a foundation pit so that the weighing platform is approximately level with the surrounding ground.

This configuration can be useful when site space is limited or when the customer requires a low-profile vehicle access arrangement.

Important pit construction considerations include:

• Drainage

• Waterproofing

• Foundation strength

• Maintenance access

• Cable routing

• Local soil conditions

Fangda can provide technical foundation requirements for the selected truck scale configuration.

80 Ton Weighbridge for Logistics

Logistics and transportation facilities can use an 80 ton truck scale to weigh incoming and outgoing vehicles and cargo.

The system can support:

• Gross vehicle weighing

• Cargo weight records

• Vehicle identification

• Digital weighing tickets

• Transaction records

• Weighing data management

For high-throughput logistics operations, the 80 ton weighbridge can be integrated with an unattended weighing system.

Automation options may include:

• RFID

• License plate recognition

• Automatic barriers

• Traffic lights

• Cameras

• Infrared positioning

• Weighing software

This allows the weighing process to be managed with less manual intervention.

An 80 ton truck scale can be used to weigh vehicles carrying:

• Sand

• Gravel

• Aggregate

• Soil

• Concrete materials

• Construction waste

• Other bulk materials

The recorded vehicle weight can support material receiving, dispatch, transportation management and internal accounting.

For construction sites with frequent heavy truck traffic, the weighbridge should be configured according to actual vehicle loads and expected operating frequency.

80 Ton Weighbridge for Mining and Aggregates

Mining and aggregate operations require robust vehicle weighing systems capable of operating under demanding conditions.

An 80 ton truck scale can be considered for applications involving:

• Aggregate transportation

• Quarry materials

• Bulk minerals

• Construction materials

• Mine-site logistics

• Material transfer

Mining and quarry environments can expose weighing equipment to dust, mud, water, vibration and repeated heavy vehicle loading.

For these applications, suitable load cell protection, drainage and foundation design should be considered during project planning.

For larger mining vehicles, Fangda also provides higher-capacity weighbridges up to 200 tons.

80 Ton Weighbridge for Agriculture

Agricultural facilities can use truck scales to measure incoming and outgoing materials.

Typical materials include:

• Grain

• Feed

• Fertilizer

• Agricultural products

• Livestock-related materials

• Bulk raw materials

An 80 ton capacity can be selected where the vehicle and cargo combination requires more capacity than a conventional 60 ton configuration.

The platform dimensions should be selected according to the trucks or trailers operating at the facility.

80 Ton Weighbridge Technical Specifications

Final specifications should be confirmed according to the actual vehicle, platform dimensions, destination market and project requirements.

80 Ton Weighbridge for Outdoor Applications

An outdoor truck scale must withstand repeated vehicle traffic and exposure to weather.

Depending on the installation environment, an 80 ton weighbridge may be configured with protected load cells, appropriate steel surface treatment, suitable drainage and reinforced foundation construction.

For wet or high-humidity environments, IP68 load cells can provide additional protection against water ingress.

For dusty environments such as quarries and aggregate plants, the weighing system should also be designed for regular cleaning and inspection.

Unattended 80 Ton Truck Scale

For facilities with frequent truck movements, an 80 ton weighbridge can be integrated into an unattended weighing system.

A typical automated configuration can include:

• RFID vehicle identification

• License plate recognition

• Infrared positioning

• Traffic lights

• Automatic barriers

• Cameras

• Voice guidance

• Digital weighing software

• Automatic weighing records

The system can automatically identify the vehicle, control access to the weighing platform, record the weight and transfer the transaction data to the weighing management system.

This type of configuration is suitable for logistics centers, industrial plants, aggregate facilities, waste stations and other high-volume weighing locations.
