Portable weighbridges (weigh scales) are smaller in size and can be easily shifted from one place to another. It can be placed on any stable surface for weighing and dismantled easily for use in another location. It is suitable for temporary sites where a permanent weighbridge may not be economical to install.

Here are the 8 Advantages of Portable Weighbridge in Construction Projects

1. Temporary Sites: Construction companies don’t have a permanent site for work. Depending on the new projects identified, men, equipment and materials have to be transported to the new location. Portable weighbridges are best suited for temporary sites.

2. Quick Installation: Portable weighbridges are light-weight and can be easily installed on the site saving valuable time and resources.

3. Low Set up costs: Compared to a permanent weighbridge, a portable weighbridge is economical for construction companies due to low cost of transportation and installation.

4. Precision: Portable weighbridges are capable of precise weight measurements of sand, cement, aggregates and steel. This helps in ensuring quality of construction by blending the right mix of materials. Regular calibration and maintenance help ensure accuracy of weighing.

5. Prevent Overloading: Overloading of vehicles entering and exiting the site can be prevented contributing to safety on the site. Overloading can lead to accidents and levy of penalties by transport authorities. Overloading increases maintenance costs of vehicles due to wear and tear.

6. Inventory Management: Construction costs can go up significantly if inventories are not managed efficiently.

7. Durability and Roboustness: The harsh environmental conditions in construction sites require durable weighscales. Portable weighbridges are designed to withstand heavy loads. Use of high- quality steel helps provide strength and resistant to heavy loads.

8. Time-Sensitive: Materials and equipment have to be weighed quickly on construction sites to meet the tight deadlines and reduce delays. Portable weighbridges help complete the construction work on time and prevent cost over-runs.

In short, portable weighbridges are the ideal choice in construction sites in view of its flexibility, durability, accuracy and mobility. It helps construction industry adhere to deadlines and provide quality services to customers.
