Weighbridges

[Jack Russell]

Not sure if this is the right place for this. We are looking at putting in a system to weigh mainly what is coming into store at harvest but would like to weigh the odd lorry going out as well. We are a tenanted farm and don't like putting to much into things we can't remove at the end. Contemplating getting a set of the 4.4m twin beams from either Griffith Elder or Parker farm. Does anyone have any experience of these? Or can give any advice?

Cheers

I’ve no idea but, an above ground weighbridge isn’t mind blowing expensive and can be sold easily at a later date.

Get a full sized above ground one. Can take it with you.

Do you just use it for tractors and trailers or wagons as well?

Tractor and trailer small lorry so far but I think it will go up to 50 tons so you could do a artic unit

Sorry for dragging this back up. I never got sorted with this last year so finally trying to get it sorted now. Just wondering if you are still getting on ok with the Griffith elder axle weigher? How old is it now?
