Dhrangadhra weighbridges for salt, soda ash and sandstone.
Dhrangadhra in Surendranagar district stands on the edge of the Little Rann of Kutch, and three heavy trades meet here. Salt pans on the Rann send out salt by the truckload, the soda ash and chemical industry receives and dispatches bulk loads, and the quarries of the taluka cut the sandstone known as Dhrangadhra stone for buildings across Gujarat. The market yard trades cotton, cumin and other crops of the dry Jhalawad belt. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा) across Dhrangadhra taluka.
A salt works or salt trader in Dhrangadhra needs a 60–80 MT, 16 m concrete (RCC) weighbridge (dharam kanta), because wet salt and brine rust steel; a chemical works receiving bulk trucks 60–80 MT on 18 m in concrete (RCC); a sandstone quarry 80–100 MT on 12–16 m. Symphony builds it in Ahmedabad and dispatches it about 2 weeks after a cleared order with PO.
Wet salt on the platform, concrete that stands up to brine.
- Built for brineA concrete (RCC) weighbridge that resists salt and brine far better than painted steel, with a 25-year structural warranty on the RCC (T&C).
- Ready for the dry-season rushStored tares for regular salt trucks and SMFW slips with party and vehicle number, so the queue keeps moving.
- Headroom for stone80–100 MT for block trucks, so the heaviest sandstone load stays well inside capacity.
Who needs one in Dhrangadhra: Salt works on the Little Rann of Kutch and salt traders; soda ash and chemical works; sandstone quarries and stone-cutting units; cotton, cumin and other crops at the Dhrangadhra APMC; ginning factories; small industrial units in the town; and transporters carrying salt, stone and chemicals.

Salt works, chemical plants, quarries in Dhrangadhra taluka.
Salt works and salt traders
Salt leaves wet from the heaps, brine drips on the platform, and most of the year's dispatch happens in the dry months.
Our setup: A 60–80 MT, 16 m concrete (RCC) or steel-cum-RCC weighbridge that resists brine far better than painted steel, with stored tares for regular trucks and a fresh-water rinse at the end of the day.
Soda ash and chemical works
Bulk raw material comes in and product leaves in bags and bulk, and both sides of the plant reconcile against the weighbridge.
Our setup: A 60–80 MT, 18 m concrete (RCC) weighbridge with SMFW slips that carry the challan or invoice number.
Sandstone quarries and stone-cutting units
A stone block puts a heavy load on a few axles, and a buyer pays by the tonne for blocks and cut stone.
Our setup: An 80–100 MT, 12–16 m concrete (RCC) or heavy-duty pit-less steel weighbridge with level approaches and capacity headroom.

Salt is the hardest load a weighbridge carries. Salt loaded from the heaps on the Rann is often still wet, brine drips from the tipper body onto the platform, and salt crystals settle in every gap. On a painted steel weighbridge that means rust at the welds within a few seasons. A concrete (RCC) weighbridge stands up to salt and brine far better than painted steel and carries a 25-year structural warranty on the RCC (T&C); our steel-cum-RCC design already serves Sambhar Salts in Rajasthan, with three 100 MT weighbridges. Rinse the platform and the gap around it with fresh water at the end of a busy day, and use IP67/IP68 load cells with a sealed junction box. Salt moves mainly in the dry months, before the monsoon water covers the pans, so the weighbridge should be installed, calibrated and stamped before the dispatch rush begins. The ground at the edge of the Rann is saline and soft in places, and rainwater can stand for weeks, so start with a soil check and keep the foundation, pedestals and approaches above the plot's highest water level. Sandstone is a different problem: a block truck puts a heavy load on a few axles, so the weighbridge needs capacity headroom over the heaviest block. A weighbridge used for trade must be verified and stamped by Legal Metrology before use; Symphony gives stamping support.
