Portable. Precise. Ready when you are.

In high-tempo operations across mining, logistics, construction and agriculture, mobility and speed matter. Sasco Africa’s WB-PT portable weighbridge (22 m, 80 t) delivers full-scale, trade-approved weighing without the time and cost of civil works, so you can deploy fast, weigh accurately and keep your site moving.

Why a Portable Weighbridge?

Fixed installations aren’t always feasible: ports restrict civil works, projects move, and contracts end. The WB-PT overcomes those constraints with a fold-open, surface-mounted design that turns any flat, paved area into a fully functional weigh station, complete with European-manufactured instrumentation and Sasco ProWeigh software integration.

What sets WB-PT apart

✅ Engineered for portability: Four foldable modules and low-profile ramps make site moves simple. Place and unfold with a standard forklift; bolt together to form a rigid, high-accuracy deck.
✅ Two instrumentation paths: 
• DD700 + S16 (digitised analogue): lower upfront cost, high accuracy, analogue spares compatibility.
• DD950 + SD16 (full digital): maximum precision and stability, cell-level diagnostics, strongest EMI/environmental immunity, expanded connectivity. Both indicators are OIML-approved and European-manufactured.
✅ ProWeigh V5.0 built in: Modular workflows for SOLAS, axle reporting, audit trails, overload tolerances, user rights and ERP/cloud integration, supported locally by Sasco.
✅ Optional portable cabin: Pre-wired operator cabin (DB board, desk, indicator, printer, SIM connectivity) for rapid plug-and-weigh operation where permanent buildings aren’t allowed.

Fast, simple installation

Delivered on a flatbed or in a container, the WB-PT is designed for rapid deployment:

• • • Position and unfold modules on a compacted paved surface using a forklift.
    • Bolt the deck, fit load cells, and route cables to the junction box.
    • Fit steel ramps, connect power/communications and calibrate with certified test masses.
    • Weigh your first truck – the process mirrors any standard above-ground weighbridge.

Specs at a glance:

Instrumentation comparison (summary):

• • • DD700 + S16 (digitised analogue): high accuracy, lower cost, compatible with analogue spares.
    • DD950 + SD16 (full digital): highest precision, diagnostics, connectivity and EMI immunity.
      

Real-world application: plug-and-weigh at the quayside

A Tanzanian metals importer required quay-side weighing without permanent works. WB-PT solved it: a mobile 22.5 m bridge plus a 20-ft portable cabin housing the indicator, PC, printer and cameras. Over a SIM link, ProWeigh pushed live tickets and images back to the smelter’s control room, delivering visibility and compliance from day one.

Where WB-PT fits best

• • Mining and quarries (remote pits, relocations)
  • Construction & civils (temporary or multi-site projects)
  • Agriculture & processing (seasonal depots)
  • Ports and zones restricting civil works
  • Freight & transport hubs and overflow capacity
  • Government projects and mobile compliance stations

The outcome

The WB-PT combines portability, capacity and precision to remove bottlenecks and de-risk programmes. You get a redeployable asset with trade-approved accuracy, fast time-to-weigh, and full Sasco service and calibration support across Southern, Central and East Africa.

SASCO’s latest weighbridge innovation signifies a leap forward in portable weighing technology. With its seamless blend of portability, capacity, and precision, this product is set to become a staple in industries requiring flexible and efficient weighing solutions. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this groundbreaking advancement firsthand.
