Fraud risks in weighbridge operations escalate dramatically with increased truck volumes and high-value cargo.

In Africa, where large trucks frequently transport valuable commodities, the potential financial losses from fraud are particularly significant. Given this, fully automated weighbridge systems are not just a necessity but a critical safeguard for operations handling large volumes of high value, open top cargo. Automation minimises human error and manipulation, ensuring accurate measurements and protecting against the substantial losses associated with fraudulent practices.
