During one of our scheduled service visits to a weighbridge west of Brisbane, our technician uncovered a hidden problem that was quietly causing major issues — a thick build‑up of debris beneath the deck.
Not only was this affecting the weighbridge’s accuracy, it was also a breach of trade measurement legislation, which requires a minimum 150mm clearance between the underside of the deck and the foundation floor. In this case, if an inspector had visited, the weighbridge would have been rejected for trade use.
The good news?
This was an entirely avoidable problem. Cleaning underneath your weighbridge is a simple maintenance task that operators can perform themselves — no specialised skills required.
A little periodic cleaning goes a long way in keeping your weighbridge accurate, compliant, and running at its best.
