Have you ever been curious when you have been out driving and seen the police pulling trucks off the road? If they are diverting them into a sectioned off area they might be checking the weight of the trucks and their loads. It`s illegal to drive an overloaded lorry and that`s why the police regularly stop them to check their weight. How can they check the weight of the lorry of they are by the side of the road? The police might be using platform scales with Load Cell technology to establish the weight of the truck. A Load Cell works by using an electronic weigh cell over which the vehicle is driven. A computer can then record the output of the cell and this will inform the police if the truck is overweight or not. In time the Load Cell might need replacing and plenty of replacements can be found from manufacturers of weighbridges who keep spares in stock at all times. Regardless of what type of weighbridge is using the Load Cell, a suitable replacement item can be sourced. The next time you see the police pulling trucks over you might have a better idea of what they are doing as they are probably checking the weight of the vehicle and its contents.
