What does Weighbridge mean in logistics?
Short answer
A large scale on which an entire vehicle is weighed, used to establish the weight of cargo loaded (gross minus tare) and to check for overloading.
Weighbridges used for trade must be verified under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009. Plants and checkposts use them for billing and enforcement; weighbridge slips often support weight disputes and shortage claims. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
