Weighbridge Installation Project Background

Hunter Weighing recently installed a 32-metre multi-deck concrete weighbridge at a local open cut mine to manage trucks with up to 5 axle groupings and a maximum gross mass of 97 tonnes. The weighbridge integrated seamlessly with the mine’s stock management system, providing drivers with real-time weight data via 6 highly visable LED displays. Designed to meet NHVR requirements, the installation included a remote zero input button for easy reset without leaving the vehicle, all delivered within 20 days.

Scope of the Weighbridge for Open Cut Mine Project

  • Compliance: Designed to handle a fleet of varying vehicles with up to 5 axle groupings and a gross mass of up to 97 tonnes, ensuring full NHVR compliance.
  • Integration: Seamlessly added to the existing stock management system with visibility of all axle group weights and total gross mass.
  • Driver Convenience: Equipped with a remote input button for easy reset without the driver leaving the vehicle and 6 LED displays.
  • Rapid Delivery: Achieved a remarkable 20-day turnaround, far below the standard 42-56 day lead time, without compromising quality and to meet project timeline.

Choosing the right weighbridge for open cut mining involves considering durability, advanced technology, and suitability to harsh mining conditions. This ensures accurate, long-lasting performance essential for efficient operations.

Operational Benefits of the Weighbridge Solution

The installation of a 32m multi-deck above-ground concrete weighbridge in the open-cut mine brought significant operational benefits, designed to efficiently handle an annual volume of 22,000 trucks. This solution provided accurate load measurement and enhanced material handling, leading to increased efficiency and cost savings. Its crucial features include:

  • 6 x RED LED remote displays: Providing clear visibility of individual axle weights and total gross mass for drivers.
  • Remote input push button: Enabling easy reset without driver leaving the vehicle, optimising workflow.
  • Seamless integration: The system was integrated into the existing stock management system via a simple ethernet connection, ensuring smooth and continuous operation.
