When working in the transportation and construction industries, it is important that you have all the best tools to hand to get the job done right. Everything from your heavy duty vehicle to your offloading equipment should be designed to ensure a safe and efficient handling of goods on a daily basis. This helps to guarantee that cargo is delivered on time and in top condition.
One piece of equipment that you may depend on throughout your transportation work is your railroad scale or weighbridge. This weighing device is usually fixed on a secure foundation, where a vehicle can drive onto the platform to be weighed. Weighing before and after loading is an effective way to work out the total weight of goods or the weight of a full vehicle.
When choosing your weighbridge, you may wish to consider used or reconditioned alternatives, where these can bring numerous benefits to your business - read on to find out more.
A reconditioned or used weighbridge is typically cheaper than a brand new model, where these still preserve the same high quality as an unused version. These models are second hand but have been worked on to make sure they are in a good enough condition to resell, meaning you can save money whilst still getting hold off a long lasting piece of equipment.
When you approach a reconditioned weighbridge seller, you can guarantee that they will have expert knowledge of their equipment. This is because they will have worked on your weighbridge in detail to make it fit for resale, meaning they can offer specific insights into its workings and various handling methods.
When shopping for a brand new weighbridge, you will only be able to choose from a select range of models that are currently on the market. Conversely, if you extend your search to reconditioned weighbridges as well, then you will be more likely to find the perfect piece of equipment for your requirements.
Choosing a new or reconditioned weighbridge rather than buying brand new is also the best way to proceed in terms of sustainability. Reconditioning old equipment helps to reduce the quantities of waste sent to landfill whilst reducing the demand for new materials, which can help you to foster an environmentally friendly image for your business.

reconditioned weighbridges suitable for your business. In addition to this, we also offer platform scale support and weighbridge calibration services to keep your existing equipment in good working order.
