The Centurion WIM (Weigh In Motion) Axle Weighing System is a versatile, configurable system that allows for the accurate weighing data of individual axles of any sized vehicle statically of dynamically.   

Our WIM system provides a highly accurate means of weighing individual and multiple axles (single axle, tandem axle and tri-axle) as well as the vehicle gross weight.

How does a Weigh-in-Motion system work?

Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) systems offer a seamless way to capture and record axle weights and gross vehicle weights as vehicles pass over the weighing platform—without stopping. Designed for efficiency, these systems provide a continuous flow of traffic, revolutionising the way weight compliance and monitoring are handled.

Types of Weigh-in-Motion Systems

WEIGHBRIDGE CONFIGURATIONS

Highway Systems

Ideal for high-traffic environments, highway WIM systems efficiently screen vehicles. When an overweight or suspected overweight vehicle is detected, the system directs it to a static scale for further inspection. This ensures compliance while keeping the WIM system available to process ongoing traffic, significantly improving operational flow.

WEIGHBRIDGE CONFIGURATIONS

Private Systems

Perfect for private sites, WIM weighbridges offer a compact and efficient solution for monitoring axle weights. Designed for locations with limited space or resources, these systems provide reliable weight data without the need for traditional weighbridges.

Features

Static or Dynamic Weighing

Our WIM systems support both static and dynamic weighing modes. This flexibility allows operators to weigh vehicles in motion for faster throughput or perform static weighing for detailed inspections when needed. The dual capability ensures that the system is adaptable to diverse operational requirements.

Less Civil Works Required for Installation

With a streamlined design, the installation process requires significantly less civil work compared to traditional weighbridge systems. This reduces setup time, minimises disruption to operations, and lowers overall costs.

Small Footprint to Save Site Space

Space efficiency is a key feature of our WIM systems. Their compact design allows for installation in areas with limited space, making them ideal for sites that cannot accommodate larger, more cumbersome weighbridges.

Precise Axle and Gross Weight Measurements

Our system provides accurate weight measurements for every axle on a vehicle and calculates the total gross weight. This level of precision ensures compliance with weight regulations and provides valuable data for operational management and safety assurance.

Chain of Responsibility Compliance

The WIM system supports businesses in meeting Chain of Responsibility requirements by providing accurate and reliable weight data. This helps ensure legal compliance while promoting safe and responsible transportation practices across the supply chain.

No Impact on Vehicle Center of Gravity

Since the WIM system is installed in-ground, it eliminates the potential for vehicles to shift their center of gravity during weighing. This feature ensures that measurements are consistent and reliable, regardless of the vehicle's speed or configuration.

Chain of Responsibility Compliance

The Centurion Weighbridge is designed to help businesses meet CoR compliance effectively.

The Centurion can be installed in a Multi-Deck configuration, which unlike single-deck systems that focus on individual axle weights, the multi-deck design evaluates the total weight of axle groups, from single to quad axles.

 This approach is critical because enforcement bodies now prioritise axle group weights over individual axle measurements. This change accounts for potential load shifts that can skew individual axle readings, making group weights the regulatory standard.

 By using a Multi-Deck Weighbridge, Australian businesses can be sure that any vehicles passing are loaded within legal limits, thereby minimising the risk of penalties and enhancing road safety. The Centurion Weighbridge provides precise, reliable measurements that support your compliance efforts, allowing you to confidently meet CoR requirements while optimising your transport operations.

Suitable for High Traffic Sites

High traffic volumes is not an issue with a Single Axle Weighbridge install. Rugged and built to last, the construction of the Single Axle Weighbridge ensures long-life and reliability whilst maintaining high weighing precision.

With a Centurion WIM System, you have the option to make your weighbridge solution fully automated. Traffic signals and boom gates, external weight displays and sensors are all easily configurable into a system that would benefit your operation the most.
