Kalol weighbridges for seed traders, godowns and GIDC units.
Kalol in Gandhinagar district is a taluka town where farm trade and industry meet on the Ahmedabad–Mehsana highway. Its market yard trades castor, mustard, guar, wheat, bajra and paddy, agro-input godowns supply the villages, and the Kalol GIDC estates hold engineering, plastics and chemical units. Seed, fertiliser bags, granules and steel all change hands by weight. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा) across Kalol taluka.
For a Kalol oilseed trader at the market yard, a 40–60 MT, 16 m pit-less weighbridge (dharam kanta) takes tractor-trolleys and trucks; a fertiliser or agro-input godown needs 50–60 MT on 16 m to check each truck's gross; a Kalol GIDC plastics or engineering unit usually 30–40 MT on 12 m. Symphony builds the truck scale in Ahmedabad.
Seed in by the trolley, out by the truck: one weight for both sides.
- A printed slip for every seed loadSMFW prints gross, tare and net for every castor or mustard load, with reports by party at the end of the day.
- Bags counted, trucks weighedThe godown weighbridge shows when a loaded truck does not match its bag count, before it leaves the gate.
- Sized for compact GIDC plotsA 12 m pit-less weighbridge, or a modular one on a hard, level concrete yard, where space is tight.
Who needs one in Kalol: Castor, mustard, guar, sesame, wheat, bajra and paddy trading at the Kalol market yard, a vegetable market, fertiliser and agro-input godowns serving the farms of the taluka, engineering, plastics and chemical units in the Kalol GIDC estates, and highway transport between Ahmedabad and north Gujarat.
Also called a dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा), truck scale or weigh bridge. We also serve Kasturinagar, Saij, Sherisa, Dingucha, Pansar.
Market yard, fertiliser godown and Kalol GIDC.
Oilseed traders at the market yard
Castor and mustard are bought from farmers by the trolley and sold on to crushing units by the truck, and any loss between the two weights comes out of the trader's margin.
Our setup: A 40–60 MT, 16 m pit-less weighbridge with stored tares for regular trucks and SMFW reports by party, so each day's buying and selling can be checked in one place.
Fertiliser and agro-input godowns
Bags are loaded by count during the sowing rush, when many trucks leave the same day and a miscount is easy to make.
Our setup: A 50–60 MT, 16 m pit-less weighbridge at the godown gate, weighing each loaded truck against its stored tare before it leaves.
Plastics and engineering units in Kalol GIDC
Polymer granules arrive in bags and steel in bundles, and both are invoiced by weight; moulded goods and fabricated parts leave in mixed loads.
Our setup: A 30–40 MT, 12 m pit-less weighbridge, or a modular weighbridge on a hard, level concrete yard, with the invoice number entered in the challan field of each slip.

Three kinds of traffic, three ways to size the weighbridge.
Kalol mixes three kinds of traffic, and each needs a different weighbridge. Castor and mustard arrive at the yard in season on tractor-trolleys and small trucks, then leave for crushing units on bigger trucks, so a yard trader's weighbridge must take both, usually 16 m long. Fertiliser and agro-input godowns load bags that are counted, not weighed one by one, so the weighbridge is where a short or excess load shows up before the truck leaves. In the GIDC estates, many plots are compact: place the weighbridge so a truck can enter, weigh and leave without reversing into the estate road, and keep at least a straight, level approach of the vehicle's length at each end. Much of the taluka is flat farmland, and low patches hold water after heavy monsoon rain, so raise the pedestals, give the surround a drain and use IP67/IP68 load cells with a sealed junction box. A weighbridge used to buy or sell must be verified and stamped by Legal Metrology before use; Symphony gives stamping support.
