Chotila weighbridges for groundnut, cotton and highway freight.
Chotila in Surendranagar district is a taluka town on the Ahmedabad–Rajkot highway, known across Gujarat for the Chamunda Mataji temple on its hill. Its APMC trades cotton and groundnut from the dry farms of the taluka, ginning units turn kapas into bales, and transporters run loaded trucks between Ahmedabad and Rajkot through the day and night. Each of these trades is paid by weight. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा) across Chotila taluka.
A groundnut or cotton trader at Chotila APMC usually needs a 40–60 MT, 12–16 m weighbridge (dharam kanta); a ginning unit 60 MT on 16 m; a highway transporter or public kanta 60–80 MT on 18 m for the longest multi-axle trailer. Symphony builds it in Ahmedabad and dispatches it about 2 weeks after a cleared order with PO.
Bagged groundnut or a highway trailer: the net weight comes first.
- Bags or loose kapasOne slip gives the clean net truck weight; the yard then applies its own bag rule.
- Built for monsoon run-offPit-less with raised approaches keeps hill water away from the load cells.
- GVW checked before the highwayTransporters see the gross weight on the slip before the truck leaves the yard.

Yard traders, ginners, transporters in Chotila taluka.
Groundnut traders and commission agents
Bagged groundnut arrives on trolleys and small trucks, and every lot is billed on its net weight before the bag rule is applied.
Our setup: A 40 MT, 12–16 m pit-less weighbridge with totals by party in SMFW.
Cotton ginners
Kapas comes in loose and bulky, bale trucks leave full, and both must be weighed on one platform.

Hill run-off in the monsoon: keep the load cells above the water.
Chotila's weighbridges serve farm produce and highway freight on the same day. Groundnut comes to the yard in bags on tractor-trolleys and small trucks, and cotton arrives loose as kapas. The yard applies its own rule for bag weight, but the base figure is always the clean net truck weight on the slip, so the weighbridge must repeat well across the season and be re-verified on time. SMFW prints gross, tare, net, vehicle number and party on every slip and keeps totals by party for the trader. On the highway side, multi-axle trucks and trailers need 18 m and 60–80 MT; transporters use the slip to check that a truck leaves within its registered GVW. Plots below the Chotila hill and on sloping ground take fast monsoon run-off, so a pit-less weighbridge with approaches set above the yard level keeps water away from the load cells; where a pit is preferred, it needs a proper drain. Concrete (RCC) suits building-material suppliers whose tippers drop grit on the platform every trip. A weighbridge used for trade must be verified by Legal Metrology before use; Symphony gives stamping support.
