LP788™ Low-Profile Wheel Load Scales for Enforcement

LP788™ Portable, Low Profile Wheel Weigher – Roadside Inspection Solution

The LP788™ Low Profile Wheel Weigher System A leading member of the Intercomp ITS/Inspection Scales portfolio, specifically designed for fast, accurate, and reliable measurement of vehicle axle loads and gross weights for roadside traffic enforcement. This portable, static weighing system is an ideal choice for enforcement checkpoints where flexibility, rapid deployment, and exceptional accuracy are essential for identifying overweight vehicles.

The LP788™ combines state-of-the-art technology with a robust, field-ready design, ensuring efficient and legal weight enforcement under the most diverse environmental conditions.

Key Features and Advantages

The LP788™ system is designed to minimize inspection time while providing maximum accuracy for compliance with regulations.

• Low Profile Design: The extremely low-profile weighing surfaces (platforms) require minimal ramping, making it easier for vehicles to drive onto the scales, reducing accident risk and increasing operator convenience.
• Portability and Quick Setup: Thanks to its lightweight, compact design, the system can be deployed and dismantled quickly, making it ideal for temporary or mobile inspection points.
• High Accuracy: Precision load cells guarantee certified measurements that comply with strict regulatory requirements.
• Robust Construction: Specifically designed for harsh industrial environments, it withstands extreme weather conditions and mechanical stress from heavy traffic.
• Integrated System: The weighing pads are compatible with Intercomp's wide selection of indicators and software, enabling comprehensive data acquisition and reporting.

Technical Specifications

The technical specifications of the LP788™ system ensure reliable performance even in the most demanding applications.

System Components and Operating Principles

The LP788™ system generally consists of several synchronized weighing pads and a central data processing unit (indicator).

1. Weighing Pads (Platforms)

The individual weigh pads contain high-capacity, low-profile sensors. These sensors are placed under the vehicle wheel to measure the vertical load generated on them. The low profile is crucial for quick and safe drive-on, especially at busy checkpoints.

2. Display and Data Processing

The processing of measurements takes place via a dedicated display, which is capable of:

• Wheel Weighing: Displaying the weight of individual wheels.
• Axle Counting: Automatically calculates axle load by summing the weights of the wheels.
• Gross Weight Calculation: Determines the total weight by measuring all axles of the vehicle.
• Overload Indication: Provides immediate visual and audible alarms in case of overweight compared to the set legal limit values.
• Data Handling: Possibility to record measurements, assign vehicle identification data (e.g.: license plate) and for later analysis.

3. Wireless Connection (Optional)

LP788™ systems often support wireless communication between the weigh pads and the display. This feature significantly increases installation flexibility as there is no need to run cables along the vehicle path, reducing tripping hazards and speeding up commissioning. Radio Frequency (RFX®) technology ensures stable and secure data transmission.

Application Areas

Due to the versatility of the LP788™, it can be used in many strict inspection environments:

• Road Traffic Enforcement: Fast on-site checks where maintaining traffic flow is a priority.
• Border Crossings and Ports: Weight inspection of incoming and outgoing freight traffic to ensure compliance with international regulations.
• Construction Sites and Quarries: Establishing temporary weighing stations to control material handling and the load of transport vehicles.
• Waste Management: Accurate determination of transport capacity.

Advantages Over Competitors

The Intercomp LP788™ model offers the perfect balance of reliability and user-friendly design:

1. Könnyű Kezelhetőség: The system design minimizes operator errors; the setup process is intuitive.
2. Long Lifespan: The use of quality materials guarantees long-term, low-maintenance operation, thereby reducing operating costs.
3. Complete Ecosystem: The LP788™ can be seamlessly integrated with other Intercomp measuring devices and software, enabling centralized data management and calibration tracking.

The LP788™ Low Profile Wheel Scale is the foundation for efficient and accurate weight control, supporting strict adherence to traffic safety and environmental regulations.
