25/07/2008 - Accuweigh’s Brisbane branch used heavy capacity load cells to verify the weight distribution of a support structure that is to be fitted across the top of oil storage tanks at the Caltex Hemmant depot.

The confirmation of weight distribution was an OH&S requirement to ensure safe handling by the crane used to lower the structure into place above the oil storage tanks.

Four 30t capacity Flintec load cells with self contained mounting hardware were used to complete this task for Downer EDI. Each load cell was singularly connected to an Avery 1005 digital weight indicator to ensure individual weight reading from each corner of the structure was attained.

The load cells confirmed the net weight of the support structure to be in line with projected weights of approx. 60 t from the design engineer.  The support structure measures 4m high x 4m wide x 18 m long and will hold associated pipes, fans and pumps.

Accuweigh is Australia’s largest industrial weighing company with branches in all states.
