Porbandar weighbridges for stone, fish and soda ash.
Porbandar lives on the sea and on stone: its fishing harbour lands catch for seafood processors, a large soda ash plant and the Ranavav cement works draw limestone from the district, and quarries cut the cream-coloured Porbandar stone used in buildings across Gujarat. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा) across Porbandar, Ranavav, Kutiyana and Madhavpur.
For a Porbandar stone or limestone quarry, a 60–80 MT weighbridge with a 12–16 m concrete (RCC) deck takes loaded tippers and block trucks; a seafood processor at the harbour needs a 30–40 MT, 9–12 m RCC deck with drains, because melt water and salt air corrode bare steel. Symphony builds it in Ahmedabad.
Limestone, fish and groundnut are all sold by weight.
- Made for salt airConcrete (RCC) and steel-cum-RCC decks with sealed IP67/IP68 load cells for harbour and coastal yards, with a 25-year structural warranty on the RCC concrete (terms apply).
- Heavy tippers, shift after shiftA 60–80 MT concrete (RCC) deck on a firm foundation takes the impact of loaded quarry tippers every day.
- Proven on bulk gatesSambhar Salts in Rajasthan runs 3 × 100 MT steel-cum-RCC weighbridges from Symphony; the same build suits cement and soda ash gates.
Who needs one in Porbandar: The fishing harbour, ice plants and seafood processing units, soda ash and chemical production, cement and clinker at Ranavav, limestone and Porbandar stone quarries, groundnut farming and the market yard, GIDC industrial units, and cargo at Porbandar port.
Also called a dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा), truck scale or weigh bridge. We also serve Ranavav, Kutiyana, Madhavpur, Bokhira, Navibandar.
Quarries, the harbour and the market yard.
Porbandar stone and limestone quarries
Stone and limestone are sold by the tipper load, and loaded tippers hit the deck hard on rough quarry roads.
Our setup: A 60–80 MT, 12–16 m concrete (RCC) deck on a firm foundation, with a dust-sealed indicator cabin.
Harbour and seafood processors
Catch is traded by weight between boats, agents and processors, and melt water and brine drip on the deck all day.
Our setup: A 30–40 MT, 9–12 m concrete (RCC) deck with a fall and drains, washed down every shift.
Groundnut traders and the market yard
After the kharif harvest, farmers bring groundnut on tractors and trucks, and the trader pays on the stamped net weight.
Our setup: A 40–60 MT, 12–16 m pit-less deck, stamped for trade, with SMFW numbered slips.

Brine on the deck, dust in the cabin: plan for the coast.
Porbandar sits on the Arabian Sea, so salt air reaches every yard; for harbour, seafood and soda ash sites, a concrete (RCC) or steel-cum-RCC deck with sealed IP67/IP68 load cells and well-painted steel parts lasts longer. At the harbour, fish trucks drip melt water and brine, so the deck needs a fall and a drain, and the surround should be washed down so salt does not build up in the deck gap. Quarries cut Porbandar stone and limestone and load heavy tippers and block trucks on rough approaches; a 60–80 MT concrete (RCC) deck on a firm foundation takes the impact of loaded tippers, and a dust-sealed indicator cabin keeps the electronics clean. Cement and soda ash plants receive limestone and dispatch bulk and bagged product round the clock, so 80–100 MT on an 18 m deck with the unmanned option (RFID, cameras, boom barrier) suits their gates. Boats stay in harbour during the monsoon fishing ban, so plan the order and civil work to finish before fishing reopens.

Starting points only. Send your heaviest truck and daily traffic and we confirm the size.
From the quarry face to the stamped slip.
Six steps for your project in Porbandar. Most of the waiting is the foundation curing, so the drawing comes first.
- 1 · Your traffic in PorbandarTell us the heaviest vehicle you weigh (here, typically tippers, block trucks), the space at the gate and the daily count. An engineer replies within one working day.
- 2 · Size and quotationOur usual starting point (stone / limestone quarry): 60–80 MT, 12–16 m deck, Concrete (RCC). The quotation comes with the foundation drawing.
- 3 · Foundation on siteYour civil contractor builds the concrete pedestals to our drawing; we can check the levels before the deck 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 calibrationDeck placed, load cells and indicator connected and calibrated, SMFW stored tares set up (RFID, cameras and boom barrier where ordered), 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.
