'''Weigh Bridges''' are machines for weighing vehicles, etc., by means of a metal plate set into a road.Weigh bridges weigh vehicles dependably and accurately, even in tough industrial environments. Each weigh bridge is built to last with a rugged design, robust weight sensors and high quality manufacturing .Weigh bridges come in either steel or concrete to suit any application. These rugged vehicle scales can be either surface or pit mounted, depending on the location and use of the scale. Weight is measured by load cells made of stainless steel with cables protected by sheaths.Weight is displayed and printed out on an electronic terminal with a printer.

==Design==

Weigh bridges can be surface mounted with a ramp leading up a short distance and the weighing equipment underneath or they can be pit mounted with the weighing equipment and platform in a pit so that the weighing surface is level with the road. They are typically built from steel or concrete and by nature are extremely robust.

==Uses==

Weigh bridges can be used for two main purposes:
