SOLAS scales

Product features:

• Weighing frames for holistic, SOLAS-compliant weighing of sea containers: container and load are weighed in one step.
• These overhead weighing frames for sea containers of all sizes have been specially developed by us to comply with SOLAS regulations.
• We manufacture each weighing frame individually according to customer requirements - each weighing frame is unique.
• The weighing frame has a low dead weight and can be moved quickly and easily.
• Calibratable according to OIML R76 class III
• Material: hot-dip galvanized steel
• Sizes: for 20- or 40-foot containers

The advantages of the container weighing frame:

• Since the vehicle tare does not have to be considered in the weighing process, the VGM is available immediately
• Ideal when weighing is done repeatedly in a different location.
• Suitable for use with different means of transport.
• Meets accuracy class/calibration class III and is therefore SOLAS compliant.
• Calibration and certification can also be performed by MeWa.

Options for the container weighing frame:

• Delivery ready calibrated
• Connection to integrative software solutions and detection systems
• Weighing indicators with user-specific functions

• Truck scales for integrated, SOLAS-compliant weighing of sea containers: container and load are weighed in one step, when passing over the scale.
• Overhead truck scales are particularly in demand where terrain or operational processes prevent complete installation.
• Various designs are realized in concrete or hot-dip galvanized steel with different lengths and widths of weighbridge and frame - individually adapted to customer requirements and conditions.
• They are available as stationary scales for a fixed location or as a mobile variant if there are different locations for weighing.
• Up to 80 tons, overhead truck scales are manufactured according to DIN 8119, up to 100 tons according to DIN 1072.
• All models are equipped with stainless steel load cells with IP68 protection.
• Our truck scales are legal for trade according to OIML class III and therefore SOLAS compliant.

Advantages of above floor truck scales:

• High load capacity of up to 100 tons
• Weighing is done when driving over the scale, therefore no unloading of the goods is necessary.
• High added value: The truck scales can also be used independently of SOLAS for in-plant weighing in daily goods traffic.

Options for overhead truck scales:

• Delivery ready calibrated
• Various special structural designs, such as railings, scraper shelves, low overall heights, etc.
• A range of peripheral equipment, such as traffic light control, large displays, barrier system, camera system, PC connection, etc.
• Weighing indicators with user-specific functions

• Truck scales for integrated, SOLAS-compliant weighing of sea containers: container and load are weighed in one step, when a carrier passes over the scale.
• Underfloor truck scales are considered for container weighing where complete installation is required. Weighing bridge and weighing electronics are permanently installed and mounted.
• Different constructions in concrete or hot-dip galvanized steel with different lengths and widths of weighbridge and frame are possible - individually adapted to customer requirements and conditions.
• Underfloor truck scales are available as stationary scales with precast concrete bridges or steel bridges.
• Up to 80 tons, underfloor truck scales are manufactured according to DIN 8119, up to 100 tons according to DIN 1072.
• Our underfloor truck scales are equipped with stainless steel load cells with IP68 protection.
  Underfloor truck scales are legal for trade according to OIML Class III and SOLAS-compliant accordingly.

Advantages of underfloor truck scales:

• High load capacity of up to 100 tons
• The weighing process takes place when a carrier passes over the scale, therefore no unloading of the goods is necessary.
• High additional benefit: The truck scales can also be used independently of SOLAS for in-house weighing in daily goods traffic.

Options for underfloor truck scales:

• Delivery as ready calibrated scale
• Various structural special designs, such as scraper shelves, special designs, railings, etc.
• A range of peripheral equipment, such as traffic light control, large displays, barrier system, camera system, PC connection, etc.
• Weighing indicators with company-specific functions

• The mobile truck scale is ideally suited for the holistic, SOLAS-compliant weighing of sea containers: containers and loads are weighed in one step, when a carrier passes over the scale.

• Mobile truck scales are particularly in demand where terrain or operational processes prevent a complete installation and containers are weighed at different locations due to the operational structure.

• The hot-dip galvanized steel modules are manufactured in our own scale construction plant. Therefore, the implementation of individual customer requirements regarding lengths, widths, ramps, etc. is possible at any time.

• The flat, mobile overhead scale is only 28 cm high and can be assembled and disassembled in a few hours. It is easy to move and ideal for rental or leasing use. It is delivered including ramps.

• The heaviest component weighs 1.2 tons, so no special transport or heavy-duty crane is required for delivery.

• The load capacity is up to 60 tons according to DIN 8119.

• Our mobile truck scale is equipped with stainless steel load cells with IP68 protection.

• The mobile truck scale is legal for trade according to OIML class III and accordingly SOLAS compliant.

• Delivery includes indicator and printer.

Advantages of the mobile truck scale:

• The mobile truck scale is also popular with logistics service providers and shipowners because it can also be rented or leased. This means that the time until the final purchase decision can be bridged at manageable costs. At the same time, container weighing is ensured to be SOLAS-compliant.
• The scale can also be set up on sloping terrain with a maximum longitudinal gradient of 2% and put into fully functional operation.
• The weighing process takes place when a carrier passes over the scale, therefore no unloading of the goods is necessary.
• High added value: The truck scales can also be used independently of SOLAS for in-plant weighing in daily goods traffic.

Options for the mobile truck scale:

• Delivery as ready calibrated scale
• Center cover for the version as a centrally sealed truck scale
• Special solution with load capacity up to 100 tons
• Special constructional designs, such as scraper curbs, crash barriers or special dimensions
• Printer, PC software, etc.

• Rail scales for integrated, SOLAS-compliant weighing of sea containers: containers and loads are weighed in one step, when passing over the scales.

• Rail scales are particularly in demand for container weighing when there is a rail connection.

• Various constructions are realized in concrete or steel with different track gauges, lengths and bridge combinations - individually according to customer requirements and structural conditions.

• Our track scales comply with regulation LM 71 DIN 8119 of the Federal Railway Authority as well as the state railroads.

• Weighing takes place statically when the wagon is at a standstill or dynamically during the journey.

• Our track scales are calibratable according to OIML R76 Class III for static weighing and according to OIML R106 for dynamic weighing. This means that both variants are SOLAS-compliant.

Advantages of rail scales:

• High load capacity of up to 150 tons
• Weighing takes place when the scale is passed over, therefore no unloading of the goods is necessary.
• High added value: The rail scales can also be used SOLAS-independently for in-plant weighing in daily goods traffic.

Options for rail scales:

• Delivery ready calibrated
• Special dimensions for track gauges
• Track scales and truck scales in combination
• Customized track scale software
• Weighing indicators with user-specific functions
