TWIN DECK WEIGHBRIDGE

Using 2 x 20 metre weighbridge decks end to end will allow B Doubles and road trains to be weighed in a single weighbridge transaction. Weighbridges with twin decks, also known as road train weighbridges, are available in two different configurations.

1. As a single weighbridge weighing deck that comprises two individual weighbridge decks with both decks connected to a single digital weight indicator. This weighbridge configuration is the most cost-effective solution but only displays the total vehicle mass of the combined weighbridge decks.
2. As a true twin deck weighbridge with each deck connected to its own digital weight indicator. This weighbridge configuration displays the weight on each individual weighbridge deck separately. A digital summing indicator is then used to display the total combined weight of both weighbridge decks.

The advantages of using a true twin deck weighbridge is that axle group weights can usually be acquired for B Doubles and shorter truck/trailer combinations without requiring extended weighbridge approaches. Displaying the individual axle group weights should greatly diminish instances of truck overloading.
Twin deck weighbridge designs - also known as dual deck weighbridges - are available in above-ground, in-ground or semi-pit installations.
