A 100-ton electronic weighbridge is a truck scale designed with a maximum stated weighing capacity of 100 metric tonnes (100,000 kg). To select one successfully, match its capacity to the heaviest vehicle and load expected, choose a platform long and wide enough for the vehicles to be weighed, and plan the foundation, drainage, access, and electrical connections before installation. The capacity rating alone does not determine whether a scale will suit your site: axle loads, traffic patterns, weighing procedure, and local requirements also matter.

This guide is for procurement teams, plant operators, project engineers, and distributors comparing weighbridge configurations. We explain what to assess, which information to prepare for a quotation, and how to reduce avoidable installation and sourcing risks. Actual dimensions, construction, and configuration should be confirmed against your vehicles, site drawings, and project specification.
An electronic weighbridge measures vehicle weight using load cells installed beneath a platform. As a truck enters the platform, its load is transferred through the structure to the load cells, which produce electrical signals. A weighing indicator processes those signals and displays the result; depending on the supplied system, weight data may also be recorded or passed to connected business systems.
A typical system may include the weighbridge platform, load cells, junction box, indicator, cabling, and optional equipment such as a printer, traffic lights, or data interface. The exact scope varies by supplier and project. Buyers should confirm which components are included rather than assuming that every quotation covers software, civil works, installation, or integration.
The 100-ton rating describes a maximum capacity stated for the scale, but capacity selection should also account for how a vehicle places its weight on the platform. Vehicle gross weight, axle configuration, wheel spacing, loading pattern, and the frequency of heavy traffic all contribute to the specification discussion. Share representative vehicle data with the supplier, including the heaviest expected vehicle and its axle arrangement.
Also clarify how the scale will be used. A site that weighs fully loaded trucks may have different operating needs from one that weighs vehicles before and after loading, or one that processes frequent inbound and outbound traffic. If your operation includes unusual vehicles, concentrated loads, or off-center positioning, ask the supplier to review those conditions before you finalize the design.
Identify the required weighing resolution, display and recordkeeping needs, and whether the scale will be used for internal process control, commercial transactions, or another purpose. Requirements for verification, approval, and legal-for-trade use depend on the destination and intended application. Do not assume that a product specification by itself confirms compliance; ask which documentation and local approvals apply to your project.
The platform must accommodate the vehicles and the weighing method used at your site. A short platform may be suitable for a particular axle-by-axle procedure, while full-vehicle weighing generally requires space for the entire vehicle to stand on the platform. As an initial planning example only, buyers may compare layouts such as a 3 m wide by 18 m long platform with other lengths; this is not a universal recommendation or a substitute for checking vehicle dimensions and supplier drawings.
Measure the longest vehicle, overall width, axle spacing, and the space required for safe approach and exit. Include trailers or articulated combinations if they will be weighed. Ask the supplier to confirm the usable weighing area, platform arrangement, and any restrictions on vehicle positioning before approving the layout.
Steel and concrete-deck designs are common options to discuss, but the appropriate choice depends on the project specification, site conditions, maintenance approach, and supplier’s available configurations. Steel platforms may be arranged in modules for transport and assembly, while concrete-deck options require attention to the deck design and construction sequence. Compare structural details and scope rather than choosing on material name alone.
Ask for platform drawings, stated capacity, surface and corrosion-protection details where applicable, and the proposed load-cell arrangement. Confirm the transport dimensions and any site access constraints. The supplier should identify which specifications are standard and which require project-specific confirmation.

Installation planning should start with a site review. Confirm available space for the scale and approach roads, ground conditions, drainage direction, access for delivery vehicles, and the location of the weighing cabin or operator station. Foundation and pit requirements differ by design, so use the selected supplier’s approved drawings and coordinate them with the civil contractor before concrete work begins.
Decide whether an above-ground or pit-type arrangement is appropriate for your site and operating conditions. Check how water will drain, how the scale will be accessed for inspection, and whether vehicles can enter and leave without sharp or unsafe approaches. Do not rely on generic foundation dimensions: obtain project-specific drawings and confirm responsibilities for excavation, reinforcement, concrete, and installation.
Before installation, identify the power supply, cable routing, grounding requirements, and protection needed for the operating environment. If weight records must reach an ERP, weighbridge management platform, or other electronic data system, define the required interface and data fields early. Confirm compatibility with the indicator and software supplier rather than assuming that a connection is included.
Prepare an installation checklist that assigns responsibilities for civil works, equipment delivery, assembly, wiring, commissioning, and operator training. Agree how the parties will handle site readiness and any required inspection or verification. This reduces the risk of equipment arriving before the foundation or utilities are ready.
The price of a 100-ton electronic weighbridge depends on the configuration and commercial scope. Platform dimensions and construction, load cells and indicator, accessories, software or data interfaces, transport, installation, and local civil works can all affect the final quotation. Request an itemized offer so you can distinguish equipment costs from site preparation and service costs.
Minimum order quantities and lead times are supplier- and project-dependent, so obtain written confirmation rather than relying on a general estimate. Ask when the supplier can issue drawings, what information is needed to begin production planning, how delivery is scheduled, and which activities are excluded. If your project has a fixed commissioning date, share it at the enquiry stage and ask the supplier to confirm a feasible schedule.
Evaluate suppliers on how clearly they connect the proposed equipment to your operating requirements. Request a technical proposal that states capacity, dimensions, platform arrangement, component scope, electrical and data options, and installation assumptions. Ask who is responsible for foundation drawings, commissioning, documentation, and support after delivery.
Wanji can discuss 100-ton electronic weighbridge requirements with buyers and help define a project specification for quotation. To make that discussion productive, provide the destination country, intended use, vehicle information, preferred platform dimensions if known, site conditions, and required data-system connections. Wanji can then clarify which configuration and support scope are available for your project.
A 100-ton electronic weighbridge is a suitable candidate when its capacity, platform dimensions, and installation design align with the vehicles and operating conditions at your site. Capacity should be reviewed alongside axle loads and weighing procedure, while platform size should be based on real vehicle measurements. Foundation, drainage, utilities, and data integration should be agreed before equipment is ordered.
For your next step, prepare a vehicle and site specification, then request a project-specific drawing and itemized quotation from suppliers. Confirm applicable local requirements, delivery scope, lead time, and installation responsibilities in writing. Contact Wanji with these details to discuss a suitable configuration and the information needed for a formal proposal.
