Ahwa weighbridges for godowns, hill roads and forest trade.
Ahwa is the headquarters of Dang, Gujarat's hill district in the Sahyadri range, where most of the land is forest and the state promotes natural farming. Its trade is small but steady: nagli (finger millet), paddy and pulses from hill farms, bamboo and fuelwood from the forest belt, foodgrain moving through government and cooperative godowns, and building material for roads, bridges and the hill station at Saputara. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा) across Dang district, including Waghai, Saputara and Subir.
A government or cooperative godown in Ahwa usually needs a 40–60 MT, 12–16 m pit-less weighbridge (dharam kanta) with numbered SMFW slips for receipts and issues; a road or building contractor 60 MT on 16 m, or a modular weighbridge that needs no foundation; a nagli or paddy aggregator 30 MT on 9 m. Government buyers can procure through GeM. Symphony builds it in Ahmedabad and dispatches it about 2 weeks after a cleared order with PO.

Godowns, contractors, forest-produce traders across Dang district.
Government and cooperative godowns
Every truck received and every issue to a fair-price shop or society must be accounted for.
Our setup: A 40–60 MT, 12–16 m pit-less weighbridge with numbered SMFW slips and stored tares for regular vehicles; government buyers can procure through GeM.
Road, bridge and building contractors
Material is bought by the tonne for a job that ends in a season or two.
Our setup: A 60 MT, 16 m modular weighbridge that needs no foundation and installs within hours on a hard, level surface such as concrete (on a hill site, a levelled, compacted base or concrete apron as the drawing specifies), then moves to the next site.
Bamboo and fuelwood traders
Loads are bulky and uneven, and the plot is often on a slope.
Our setup: A 40–60 MT, 12–16 m weighbridge on a levelled platform with straight approaches, pit-type only where the pit drains by gravity.

Slopes, monsoon run-off and lightning: a weighbridge for the Dang hills.
Level ground is scarce in Dang, and a weighbridge needs a level platform with straight, level approaches at both ends, because a vehicle that rolls on from a slope puts uneven load on the platform and the reading suffers. On a hillside that usually means cut-and-fill with a retaining wall, planned with your civil engineer before the structure arrives. Dang also gets some of the heaviest monsoon rain in Gujarat, and water runs fast down the slopes: put a drain upslope of the weighbridge, run the cables in conduit and keep the junction box above flood level. A pit-type weighbridge sits flush with the approaches and suits a narrow plot, but only with a pit drain that runs out by gravity; where that is not possible, choose pit-less; a sump pump is not a substitute in Dang's monsoon. Dang sees frequent monsoon lightning, so earth the system well, fit surge protection on the load-cell and power lines, and run the indicator on a UPS. For a godown, every truck of foodgrain received and every issue to a fair-price shop or society should carry a numbered SMFW slip with the vehicle number, date and time, and stored tares speed up regular vehicles. Contractors working on roads and the Saputara projects often need a weighbridge only for the life of a job: a modular weighbridge needs no foundation and installs within hours on a hard, level surface such as concrete.
