Weighbridge price: what decides the cost.
What decides a weighbridge (dharam kanta) price in India: capacity, deck length, type, load cells, software and foundation, plus a 30–100 ton size guide.
A weighbridge price in India depends on capacity (10–100 MT), deck length (7–18 m), type (pit-less, pit-type, RCC or modular), load cells, software and the foundation. Size it for the heaviest loaded truck you receive, with about 20% headroom. Symphony sends a written quotation with the foundation drawing and dispatches about 2 weeks after a commercially cleared order with PO.
There is no single price list for weighbridges, because no two sites need the same one. A 30 ton kanta for tractor-trolleys and a 100 ton weighbridge for multi-axle trailers are different machines. This guide explains what drives the cost, so you can compare quotations fairly and buy the size you actually need.
Seven things that decide the price
| Item | What changes the cost |
|---|---|
| Capacity | Symphony builds 10 to 100 MT as standard, and has delivered 120 MT. More capacity means heavier girders, deck plate and load cells. |
| Deck length | 7 m to 18 m. Every axle of the truck must be on the deck together, so the length follows your longest vehicle. |
| Type | Pit-less (on pedestals with ramps), pit-type (flush with the road), concrete / RCC deck, or modular. See which type suits your site. |
| Load cells | Analog or digital, sealed to IP67/IP68. The number of cells grows with deck length and capacity. |
| Electronics and software | Indicator, slip printer and SMFW weighment software as standard. Cameras, RFID and boom barriers for an unmanned weighbridge add to the cost. |
| Foundation | Built by your civil contractor to our foundation drawing. Pit-type needs more excavation and a drained pit; pit-less needs space for ramps. |
| Stamping, transport and service | Legal Metrology verification fees, delivery and installation, and an optional AMC. |
Which size do you need?
| Your heaviest vehicle | Usual capacity | Usual deck |
|---|---|---|
| Tractor-trolleys and small trucks | 20 – 40 MT | 7 – 12 m |
| 10- and 12-wheel trucks, tankers | 50 – 60 MT | 12 – 16 m |
| Multi-axle trucks and long trailers | 60 – 80 MT | 16 – 18 m |
| Heavy tippers, ship plate, marble blocks | 80 – 100 MT | 16 – 18 m |
These are starting points. Tell us your heaviest loaded vehicle and its length and we confirm the size. Buying a deck that is too short is the costliest mistake: a public kanta turns away paying trucks, and a factory has to weigh long trucks axle by axle, which is slower and less accurate.
How to save without losing accuracy
- Size to your traffic, not the biggest truck on the highwaySize for the heaviest loaded truck you actually receive, plus about 20% headroom.
- Choose pit-less unless space is tightSee pit vs pit-less for the civil-work difference.
- Pay for a concrete (RCC) deck only where steel corrodesSalt works, chemical plants and wash-down areas. Elsewhere a painted steel deck is enough.
- Add automation in stagesStart with the indicator, printer and SMFW software; add cameras, RFID and barriers later.
What a fair quotation should include
- Capacity, deck size and type in writingAnd the number and make of load cells.
- Foundation drawingSo your contractor can start civil work while the deck is built.
- What is includedIndicator, printer, software, cables, junction box, installation, calibration and stamping support.
- Warranty termsSymphony: 1-year warranty, and a 25-year structural warranty on the RCC concrete (T&C apply).
- Delivery timeSymphony dispatches in about 2 weeks from a commercially cleared order with PO.
