Sustainable and trusted service...
At our waste management facility here in Salford, we have a fully operational weighbridge which is open to commercial customers. But what is a weighbridge and what is the advantage to you when it comes to getting rid of your waste?
A weighbridge is a large scale which records the weight of a vehicle and its contents such as inert or aggregates. Typically, weighbridges are built on a concrete foundation and made up of a steel platform and load cells, which convert the force exerted by the vehicle into measurable output. The output is then displayed on a terminal, which is viewed by an operator.
At Mayo Stone Supplies Ltd, our weighbridge is used to calculate the weight of waste we’ve retrieved and anount of aggregates being despatchedz This is calculated by subtracting the unloaded weight of the vehicle from the loaded weight.
There are numerous benefits to a weighbridge, particularly for our clients.
As experienced as we are in the field of waste management and aggregate supply it is mostly impossible to accurately gauge the weight of your waste by eye. Having our calibrated weighbridge at our disposal ensures that you are never wrongly charged for disposal of your waste or aggregate collection and that our prices remain consistent and fair across the board.
Quick & Easy Service
Manually weighing waste, particularly large amounts is time-consuming and quite boring for our customers. Using the weighbridge makes the process much quicker and easier. Vehicles such as grab hire trucks and tippers can simply drive on and straight off again, tip their waste compliantly and load up with aggregates efficiently.
We are committed to operating as safely as possible. Therefore, we use our weighbridge to check our vehicles are safely and evenly loaded. As we’ve mentioned, depending on the materials and capacity of the vehicle, it is not easy to estimate the weight of a load. Our weighbridge removes all the guesswork and ensures we are working to keep both our operators, customers and the general public safe with our calibrated weighbridge.
Using a weighbridge means we are able to provide our services quicker and more accurately. We pass these benefits on to our clients by offering the very best price based on the operations involved in weighing and processing your waste.
