Weighing solutions for Mining & Minerals
Mining operations need rugged, high-capacity weighing that survives dust, abrasion, and constant heavy traffic while keeping despatch and royalty records accurate.
Weighing solutions for mining & quarrying
Mines and quarries put weighing equipment through some of the harshest duty there is — abrasive dust, vibration, and a steady stream of heavily loaded vehicles, often at remote sites where reliability is everything. On top of that, weighing data underpins despatch, stock control, and royalty records, so accuracy is non-negotiable.
Caliber Scales builds weighbridges for exactly these conditions: pit type weighbridges with hard-wearing reinforced-concrete decks, surface mounted weighbridges that avoid water-logging on uneven ground, and unmanned automation for secure, round-the-clock weighing.
Common challenges we solve
- Abrasive, dusty conditions — durable decks and protected instrumentation.
- High tonnage — high-capacity weighbridges engineered for continuous use.
- Accurate records — calibrated weighing and software for despatch and royalty.
- Remote operation — low-maintenance designs and nationwide service support.

Common challenges
- Abrasive dust and harsh conditions shorten equipment life
- High vehicle tonnage demands durable, high-capacity weighbridges
- Accurate despatch and royalty records depend on reliable weighing
- Remote sites need dependable, low-maintenance equipment
Recommended products
- Surface Mounted Weighbridge An above-ground electronic truck scale with approach ramps and no pit to excavate — ideal for hilly, rocky, or flood-prone sites and quick to install and maintain.
- Unmanned Weighbridge An automated weighbridge that weighs vehicles without an operator — using RFID, positioning sensors, boom barriers, and IP cameras to cut operating cost and eliminate human error.
Frequently asked questions
Which weighbridge is best for a mining site?
High-capacity surface mounted (pitless) and pit type weighbridges are commonly chosen for mining because they handle heavy loads and stand up to dusty, abrasive conditions. They are especially durable for continuous high-tonnage traffic. The right choice depends on your vehicles and site layout.
Can weighing help with royalty and despatch records?
Yes. Accurate, calibrated weighing with software and (optionally) unmanned automation gives you reliable, auditable despatch records for royalty and stock purposes.
