Low Profile Portable Weighbridges

The Portaweigh is a premier UK-made portable weighbridge solution, engineered specifically for rapid deployment and high-capacity HGV weighing. Designed to operate as a completely pitless weighbridge system, the Portaweigh can be installed on almost any existing level, hard-standing surface (such as concrete or consolidated tarmac) using optional steel sub-bases. This eliminates the need for expensive, time-consuming concrete foundations, saving operators thousands in civil engineering costs.

Space-Saving Design for Tight Site Footprints

One of the biggest challenges on busy industrial sites is operational space. The Portaweigh features a clever space-saving layout with partially integrated ramps. This reduces the required run-up ramp length to just 1.5 meters—significantly shorter than traditional systems. It is the ideal HGV weighing scale for locations where space is at a premium, allowing trucks to align safely and weigh in without disrupting site traffic flow.

Key Features & Technical Advantages:

  • 4-Hour Rapid Setup: The modular deck design allows the entire weighbridge to be offloaded, assembled, calibrated, and fully operational within 4 hours.
  • Pitless, Foundation-Free Installation: Optional heavy-duty sub-bases distribute load evenly, allowing installation directly on existing hard ground.
  • Solid 5-Year Guarantee: Built in the UK with high-yield structural steel, backed by an industry-leading 5-year structural warranty.
  • Bi-directional Weighing: Suitable for both entry and exit weighing on high-throughput sites.
  • SOLAS Ready & Compliant: Fully compatible with international SOLAS container weighing standards. It integrates seamlessly with our Easyweigh software for automatic weight ticket generation and compliance tracking.

Ideal Applications for Temporary & Mobile HGV Scales

While fundamentally designed as a relocatable, temporary weighbridge, the Portaweigh is robust enough for permanent, long-term installations. It is widely used across the UK in demanding sectors, including:

  • Construction & Demolition: Track material imports and exports on short-to-medium term construction projects.
  • Waste Transfer & Recycling: Ensure legal vehicle loading limits are met and generate accurate weight tickets for compliance.
  • Seasonal Agriculture & Farming: Easily relocatable to different farm yards during harvest seasons.
  • Infrastructure Projects: Ideal for major temporary works where equipment must be moved as the site advances.

Flexible Purchase, Hire, and Lease Options

Whether you require a temporary HGV scale for a 6-month contract or a permanent solution, we offer flexible terms to suit your project budget. The ease of installation and dismantling makes the Portaweigh an exceptional choice for short-term weighbridge hire, giving you full operational capacity without the capital expense of an outright purchase.
