WIM Scales for Ports & Gates Description
Screening for vehicle and cargo weights allows for identification of unloaded, loaded, and overloaded vehicles. When integrated into existing processes, dynamic weighbridges with Weigh-In-Motion technology allows for rapid processing of vehicles without stoppage and delays. Axle and Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) can be used to identify overweight conditions where cargo needs to be shifted or removed. For exporters, IMO/SOLAS Method 1 weighing can be conducted by automated weight calculations to ensure compliance.
