Above-ground scales for weighing transport vehicles
Easily relocate your weighing solution for accurate load determination and seamless material flow management in various operational environments, minimizing on-site construction time with robust, pre-assembled components.

The DFT-A weighbridge from Schenck Process is an engineered solution designed to tackle the intricate demands of industrial logistics and material handling. This above-ground weighbridge system is distinguished by its space-saving design and versatility for changing locations. Constructed from high-quality precast concrete, it incorporates robust ring torsion load cell bearings, ensuring precise weight measurement and minimal on-site construction. This solution is particularly suited for industries such as chemicals, cement, and steelmaking, providing efficient weighing and load management without compromising accuracy. With a design height of just 40cm and available in custom lengths, the DFT-A is adaptable to diverse operational needs, whether it’s in transport logistics or disposal facilities. The system seamlessly integrates with DISOMAT Opus or Tersus evaluation electronics and can include intelligent software solutions for comprehensive material flow management. Supporting manual, high-speed, and continuous operations, this weighbridge optimizes throughput and enhances operational efficiency, making it an essential component for modern industrial processes.
