Weighing loads exceeding 20 tons - such as trucks or trains - while in motion is no mean feat. Engineers have now developed a novel weighing technology using steel beams with in-built instrumentation serving as a weighbridge. Easy to operate, accurate and efficient, this weighing system was patented on 6 April 2011.
