Weighing procedures
The LP600 platforms can be used separately, in pairs, or in groups of 4, 6, or more to
measure a support load, wheel load, axle load, axle group load, or the total weight of a
multi-axle truck in one measuring procedure.
Ideally, all wheels of a vehicle should be measured at the same time in order to avoid
measuring errors due to the suspension system.
If you are not able to weigh the wheels of a tandem or triple axle simultaneously, the
difference in height must be compensated for by using dummy plates (grids, wood or
rubber plates) of the same height. The wheel load scales are put in front of the wheels
of a vehicle. The driver then drives on the scales/plates and stops within the active
weighing area. To avoid improper weighing which might be caused by wheel or axle
load displacements, the vehicle brakes should be released before reading the weight
values.
NOTES:
1. It is recommended to weigh the wheels of one axle at the same time.
2. The dummy plates can be omitted if the scales are embedded in recesses in the
road surface at the same levels as the road surface.
