Avery Weigh-Tronix Truck Scales

Avery Weigh-Tronix Truck Scales

BridgeMont® Scales

Long-lasting performance for heavy to moderate traffic and axle loads

The versatile BridgeMont series offers an unbeatable combination of structural integrity and cost-effective ownership. With many sizes and capacities to choose from, BridgeMont fits virtually any application.



• Fully assembled – Scales arrive on-site fully assembled and are easily installed in a pit, or above ground on a slab or piers. Available with a steel or concrete deck surface.
• Low profile – Features a low 14” profile that saves real estate and construction costs by using a shorter approach area. Higher profile for additional clearance is easily accomplished with affordable base plate options.
• Standard to custom – A wide range of standard lengths and widths or custom-built to customer specifications.

BridgeMont Heavy Duty

The BridgeMont Heavy Duty is a rugged scale that can easily handle heavy traffic and axle loads beyond legal highway limits. It is also available as a portable unit. The Low-Pro 8 version of the BridgeMont Heavy Duty comes in special lengths with an extra-low profile down to 11” to serve as a replacement for other brands of scales on existing foundations.

BridgeMont Standard Duty

The BridgeMont Standard Duty provides an economical solution for applications with moderate traffic and axle loads up to highway limits. It utilizes the same sandwich steel construction and Weigh Bars as the heavier models for outstanding strength and reliability.

One-stop, legal-for-trade axle weighing

Choose any combination of SteelBridge XT or BridgeMont scale platforms to create a legal-for-trade, one-stop axle weighing system.

• Fast axle weighing – Individual scale platforms trim minutes off traditional axle weighing methods, substantially increasing productivity.

Options and Accessories

Create a complete truck scale system

Select from a wide range of options and accessories to create a powerful and versatile vehicle weighing system.

1. Guide rails and posts – Extreme-duty guide rails provide a strong barrier against accidental drive-offs. An extra tall version is available for MSHA considerations. The rails are finished with bright yellow paint to optimize visibility.
2. Stop and go lights – Help direct vehicle movement and improve safety. Rugged design withstands all types of weather and environments.
3. Loop detectors – Installed at the entrance and exit to detect vehicle weight data and ensure proper positioning.
4. Remote displays – Allow clear, comfortable viewing of scale information at considerable distances, indoors and outdoors. Available with integrated traffic light and wireless interface.
5. Unattended system – Allows 24/7 scale availability. Can be customized with options such as loop detectors, ID readers, traffic lights, and wireless communication.

• Manhole –Provides easy access in pit installations. Reinforced 2' x 2' manhole includes a heavy-duty cover to maintain truck scale integrity.
• Grain dump module – An easy-flow grate allows trucks to weigh and dump over a BridgeMont truck scale. Available in various lengths and widths.
• Pre-fab foundations – The scale and foundation can arrive on the same truck shipment to be set up in just a few hours. If the scale needs to be relocated, the foundation can be re-used.
• Indicators – A range of digital indicators meet the exact needs of any truck scale application, from basic weighing to advanced transactions and data management.
• Digital junction box – Convert analog load cell signal to digital outputs, offering faster calibration, remote monitoring of individual cells, connection to a PC and improved signal strength over long distances.
• Printers – We offer a range of printers that will meet the needs of your truck scale operation.
• Software – Our truck scale software offers powerful yet flexible truck scale management, supply chain function and business intelligence capabilities. Use the data collected to help control inventory and monitor costs while improving site efficiency and throughput.

Design Features

Exclusive design features are what make Avery Weigh-Tronix truck scales #1 in the industry.

Composite concrete design

Only the top half (5") of the deck is poured, allowing the concrete to stay in compression. Tension forces are handled by the high-strength steel structure below the concrete. Fiber-mesh concrete is specified to increase strength and resist cracking.

Factory welded studs bond the concrete to the steel structure, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming rebar.

Environmental shielding

Environmental seals, stainless steel sheathed cable, surge protection, heavy-duty coatings and rugged construction help Avery Weigh-Tronix scales defend against Mother Nature’s worst.

High-strength steel construction

We source the highest quality structural steel from within North America. Automated continuous welding provides extra strength and no weak spots.

Steel surface protection

A detailed surface preparation and coating process protect the scale from the elements. Individual components are shot-blasted, entire decks are sand-blasted and cleaned, then primed with a high solids urethane primer and finished with a tough, acrylic polyurethane topcoat.

Low profile

14" height from baseplate to driving surface minimizes ramp requirements. Higher profile for additional clearance is easily accomplished with affordable base plate options.

No-bolt module connections

Simple hook andnotch design allows quick, easy joining of the modules. Overall scale length is easily increased by adding modules.

Weigh Bar® Weight Sensor

A proven weight sensor

The exclusive Avery Weigh-Tronix Weigh Bar is an extremely rugged, highly reliable, load-sensing device. Over several decades, the Weigh Bar has built a reputation for precision, reliability and durability that no other load cell can match.

• Reduced cost of ownership – Precision machined from aircraft-quality, alloy steel, the Weigh Bar offers excellent repeatability and long-term durability, reducing cost of ownership and need for load cell replacement.
• Rugged – With up to ten times more steel content than shear beams or compression cells, it absorbs impact to minimize peak forces and is virtually fatigue-proof. The Weigh Bar is proven to resist electrical surges and is protected by a 5-year warranty that includes coverage against lightning damage.
• Accurate – The sensor’s design automatically cancels the effects of side loading, end loading and twisting, resulting in quick, accurate readings which are achieved regardless of temperature change, vibration, and shock loads on the scale.
• Sealed – The Weigh Bar is well protected against harsh environments by an exclusive 5-layer, sealing process. It is approved by Factory Mutual as intrinsically safe for hazardous

Easi-Post™ Suspension

Rugged, precise and easy to install

The Easi-Post suspension system is a proven design that offers a high degree of performance, efficiency, and durability while absorbing the energy applied to the truck scale during braking and acceleration.

Easi-Post greatly simplifies the job of leveling a scale with the foundation. Each module may be raised or lowered by ½" with a simple turn of the adjustment bolt.

• Strength – The heavy-duty, stainless steel components provide long-lasting performance.
• Checking – Checking systems are internal and self-aligning. They allow for deck expansion/contraction without the hassle of periodic adjustment like bumper-bolt systems.
• Dampening – The patented features of Easi-Post quickly stabilize rocking motion as trucks stop and go, for fast and stable weight readings.
• Installation – Base plates are anchored directly to pier tops. No grouting is necessary for proper alignment.
