Kolhapur weighbridges for foundries, gul and sugar.
Kolhapur, on the Panchganga at the foot of the Sahyadri, is known for three things that all move by truck: Kolhapur jaggery (gul), a GI-tagged product auctioned at the Shahu Market Yard; a foundry and engineering cluster in the Shiroli, Gokul Shirgaon and Kagal MIDC estates that casts parts for pumps, engines and vehicles; and cooperative sugar factories spread across the district. Ichalkaranji adds powerloom textiles, and the district's cooperative milk unions collect milk across its villages. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta, tol kanta or vajan kata (धर्म कांटा / तौल कांटा / वजन काटा) across Kolhapur district.
A foundry or engineering unit in Kolhapur needs a 40–60 MT weighbridge (vajan kata or dharam kanta) of 16 m, usually pit-less steel; a jaggery (gul) unit 30–40 MT of 12 m; a sugar factory 60–80 MT of 18 m in concrete (RCC). Symphony builds the truck scale in Ahmedabad.
Pig iron and scrap are bought by weight: every truck needs its own slip.
- Above the flood lineWe plan the weighbridge top, approaches and junction box above your yard's highest known water level, with IP68 load cells.
- Foundry yards, swept every shiftA clear gap around a pit-less weighbridge keeps moulding sand and small scrap from reading as weight.
- No stamping due mid-seasonWe check that calibration and the annual Legal Metrology re-verification do not fall due in the cane season, with our stamping support.
Who needs one in Kolhapur: Jaggery (gul) units and the jaggery auctions of the Shahu Market Yard, foundries and engineering units in MIDC Shiroli, Gokul Shirgaon and Kagal, cooperative sugar factories with co-generation and distilleries, powerloom textiles at Ichalkaranji, milk collection, and stone and building-material yards.
Also called a dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा), truck scale or weigh bridge. We also serve Ichalkaranji, Kagal, Gadhinglaj, Jaysingpur, Shirol, Hatkanangale, Panhala, Radhanagari, Ajara, Chandgad, Peth Vadgaon, Murgud, Gargoti, Shahuwadi.
Shiroli foundries, jaggery yards and cooperative sugar factories.
Foundries and engineering units
A foundry buys pig iron, scrap and moulding sand by weight and sells castings by weight, so purchase and dispatch weights both feed its material records; spilled sand and small scrap build up around the weighbridge.
Our setup: A 40–60 MT, 16 m pit-less steel weighbridge with the gap swept every shift and SMFW slips for every supplier and customer.
Jaggery (gul) units and traders
Cane comes to the gurhal in tractor-trolleys and the jaggery goes to the Shahu Market Yard for auction, where it is sold by weight; both ends of the trade depend on an honest weight.
Our setup: A 30–40 MT, 12 m pit-less steel or concrete (RCC) weighbridge, set above the yard's flood line, or 16–18 m if tractors come with two trolleys, with a slip for every grower's trolley.
Cooperative sugar factories
Cane trucks come in and sugar bags, molasses and bagasse go out, so one weighbridge settles accounts with farmers, buyers and transporters in the same season.
Our setup: A 60–80 MT, 18 m concrete (RCC) weighbridge, or two weighbridges for gross and tare in the crushing season, with sealed IP67/IP68 load cells.

Panchganga floods and Sahyadri rain: build above the water line.
Kolhapur gets a heavy Sahyadri monsoon, and the Panchganga has flooded low-lying parts of the city and the river villages in recent years. That shapes every weighbridge here. Find out the highest water level your yard has seen and set the weighbridge top, the approaches and the junction box above it; in a low-lying yard a pit-type weighbridge is a poor choice, and a pit-less weighbridge on a raised plinth with sealed IP68 load cells is the safer one. Give every pedestal a drain and slope the approaches away from the cells. In a foundry yard, spilled moulding sand and small scrap collect around the weighbridge and get into the gap, so sweep it each shift; scrap loads are uneven, so weigh only with the truck fully on the weighbridge and stopped. Jaggery units work hardest in the cane season, so make sure calibration and the annual re-verification do not fall due during it.
| Recommended for | Vehicles | Capacity | Weighbridge | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foundry or engineering unit, MIDC Shiroli or Gokul Shirgaon | Pig iron, scrap and sand in, castings out | 40–60 MT | 16 m | Pit-less steel |
| Jaggery (gul) unit (gurhal) | Cane trolleys in, jaggery trucks out | 30–40 MT | 12 m | Pit-less steel or concrete (RCC) |
| Cooperative sugar factory | Cane trucks, sugar-bag trucks, bagasse and molasses loads | 60–80 MT | 18 m | Concrete (RCC) |
| Low-lying yard on the Panchganga flood plain | Trucks and tractor-trolleys | 40–60 MT | 16 m | Pit-less steel on a raised plinth, IP68 load cells |
Starting points only. Send your heaviest truck and daily traffic and we confirm the size.
From the flood-level check to the first slip of the gul season.
Six steps for your project in Kolhapur. Most of the waiting is the foundation curing, so the drawing comes first.
- 1 · Your traffic in KolhapurTell us the heaviest vehicle you weigh (here, typically pig iron, scrap and sand in, castings out), the space at the gate and the daily count. An engineer replies within one working day.
- 2 · Size and quotationOur usual starting point (foundry or engineering unit, MIDC Shiroli or Gokul Shirgaon): 40–60 MT, 16 m weighbridge, Pit-less steel. The quotation comes with the foundation drawing.
- 3 · Foundation on siteYour civil contractor builds it to our drawing; a pit-type weighbridge needs a drained pit with a sump. We can check the levels before the weighbridge arrives.
- 4 · Fabrication and dispatchBuilt and tested in our Ahmedabad workshop; dispatch in about 2 weeks from a commercially cleared order with PO, then delivered and placed on your foundation.
- 5 · Installation and calibrationWeighbridge placed, load cells and indicator connected and calibrated, slip printing set up, and Legal Metrology verification supported.
- 6 · AMC and serviceAMC, breakdown visits, calibration and annual re-verification support from our technical desk, so the weighbridge stays accurate for years.
