A weighbridge that is used for over-the-road truck weighing must meet certain capacity, accuracy, and durability requirements. At METTLER TOLEDO, we engineer every one of our weighbridges with your operation in mind. Equipped with strong, durable orthotropic ribs, our weighbridges can perform even in the harshest conditions. Pair our rugged weighbridges with reliable POWERCELL PDX load cell technology for the ultimate over-the-road truck weighing solution.
Weighbridges in this category are designed for trucks that are used in normal highway transportation. The modular design of these products allows for customization to suit your exact needs. Choose from a wide range of steel and concrete deck weighbridge designs that use our POWERCELL® load cell technology to provide proven performance and exceptional durability.
Every new weighbridge design undergoes rigorous lifecycle testing. Over a couple of months, each weighbridge design is tested to a minimum of one million cycles – or 20 years of heavy use. This testing helps verify the quality and deliver the longest scale life.
Both steel and concrete deck METTLER TOLEDO weighbridges use the proven design of orthotropic ribs. This unique design helps direct the pressure of a heavy load away from areas that would be fatigued by stress. Continuous welds along the seam of each rib to the deck ensure lasting strength.
POWERCELL PDX load cells deliver exceptional accuracy and reliability, a low total cost of ownership, and a comprehensive 10-year warranty to back it up. If you are shopping for a new weighbridge or simply wish to upgrade your weighbridge – look no further than POWERCELL® PDX®.

Truck weighbridges typically come in two distinct offerings: concrete deck or steel deck. The decision of scale deck is up to the specific operation and its needs. Some considerations include:
