Gendio provides three standard platform sizes (design to put link to this section) to cater for most common truck types. In addition to these sizes, we also provide custom weighbridges for larger trucks such as B-triples and road trains.

Our weighbridge systems are designed to grow with our clients. As larger trucks come into play, many clients are returning to us requesting extensions to existing platforms, which in recent years has been made especially easy thanks to our steel ramp and abutment solution, and our new precast concrete abutment innovation.

The type of weighing solution Gendio recommends will depend on the preferred location of your weighbridge.

Our modular weighbridge system is suitable for all environments, however when a client cannot pour a concrete foundation - ie. leased land, forest etc. we will employ our subframe solution.

It’s worth noting however that even with our standard range, all of our steel weighbridges are fully relocatable and removable to any new location.

To buy or sell your product over a weighbridge, the weighbridge must meet the National Measurement Institute (NMI) regulations. All Gendio weighbridges use trade approved componentry, and all of our systems hold NMI pattern approval, meaning that any client can choose to ‘upgrade’ to be a trade approved weighbridge at any time, without the need to change out valuable components. The only additional cost between a trade and non-trade Gendio Weighbridge is the verification service itself.

Gendio holds the NMI licence SL-0344, which allows us to install and service weighbridges for trade measurement purposes throughout Australia. The frequency of verification of privately owned trade approved weighbridges is site dependent, and should be discussed with the weighbridge provider at time of install.

In most instances our customers have access to 240V power, however, it’s not essential as we have systems that can run off 12VDC-24VDC power supply. This system can be made completely independent through inclusion of a solar panel to charge the power supply. Inform us of your power requirements at time of quoting to ensure we include all necessary components. For standard installations, the client is responsible for the provision of power to the weighbridge/adjacent site office - Gendio will not provide any trenching or electrical works as part of the sale.

Gendio Weighbridges are fully enclosed, machine welded, and hot dip galvanised in one piece. Hot dip galvanising provides excellent corrosion protection and looks superior, with minimal-no maintenance required.

Gendio offers a range of options for your weighbridge or weighing device, these accessories include: handrails, steel ramps and abutments, precast concrete abutments, electronic indicators, remote displays, tally roll or slip printers and driver and product management software.

We offer you three installation options:

  • Gendio Installed – We install the entire weighbridge including the platform, load cells and electronics kit;

  • Gendio Supervised – We supervise installation of the platform, load cells and electronics kit;

  • Self-Installed – we provide you with all the necessary equipment and documentation to complete the whole installation independently. Of course, we are always available by telephone should you need assistance.

PLEASE NOTE: Gendio do not carry out the Civil Works for the concrete foundation. However, we do provide documentation to engage a qualified concrete contractor.

If you have components from a previous installation, we may be able to use them in the new installation. This may include items such as electronic indicators or upgrading an analogue platform to a digital solution.
