60 Ton Weighbridge Load Cells in Uganda – Smart Weighing Kampala

A 60-ton weighbridge load cell is the core component of any truck scale designed to measure trucks carrying up to 60 tons. Load cells convert the mechanical force of the truck’s weight into accurate electrical signals, allowing for precise weight measurement. Without high-quality load cells, a weighbridge cannot deliver reliable and legally compliant readings.

At Smart Weighing Kampala, we supply premium 60T weighbridge load cells for businesses across mining, construction, agriculture, logistics, and industrial sectors. Our load cells are UNBS-certified, durable, and compatible with all major 60-ton weighbridge systems in Uganda.

What Are 60 Ton Weighbridge Load Cells?

Load cells are precision devices installed under a weighbridge platform that measure the weight of trucks by converting force into an electrical signal. A 60-ton weighbridge typically uses multiple load cells to evenly distribute the load and ensure accuracy, safety, and durability.

Key Functions:

• Measure individual axle loads or total truck weight

• Provide accurate weight readings to the digital indicator

• Support UNBS-certified weighing for trade purposes

• Integrate with printers and computer systems for record-keeping

Installation Process

Step 1: Site & Weighbridge Preparation

• Ensure the weighbridge platform is ready.

• Verify foundation, ramps, and drainage are adequate.

Step 2: Load Cell Mounting

• Place load cells at designated positions under the platform.

• Ensure alignment and leveling to prevent measurement errors.

Step 3: Wiring & Connection

• Connect load cells to the digital indicator and other peripherals (printers, software).

Step 4: Calibration

• Calibrate the load cells using certified test weights to ensure accuracy up to 60 tons.

Step 5: Testing & Handover

• Conduct multiple load tests.

• Provide training on operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
