Two levels of weighbridge maintenance should be considered to form part of the regular maintenance plan.
Basic Routine Maintenance
Weighbridge maintenance should take place as part of a daily/weekly routine depending on the type of site. The build-up of debris and water should be monitored and obstructions should be removed from beneath the bridge to provide clearance between the weighbridge and the ground.
- Pit weighbridges should be checked to make sure clearances are clean and the correct gap between the deck and pit wall are in place.
- ‘T’ section rubber can be used to help maintain gaps and should be replaced if worn or damaged.
- Regular end-middle-end tests should be carried out to review the accuracy of the scale. This basic cleaning and maintenance can be carried out by a site foreman or weighbridge operative.
