Overview
40 ton truck scale for practical daily site weighing
This DVALI S 40 ton model is intended for businesses that need a dedicated truck scale for routine inbound and outbound vehicle control without moving into a larger weighbridge class than the operation actually requires. It combines a steel platform, DVALI-built structure, and standard weighing components into a straightforward commercial weighing solution.
The model is offered in 3 × 10 m and 3 × 12 m sizes, with a minimum capacity of 400 kg and 20 kg division. It can be prepared for either pit or pitless installation and can also be adapted with different load cell and indicator directions where site workflow, data handling, or project conditions require a different configuration.
System highlights
Platform structure and standard weighing components
Below is the standard technical direction used for the 40 ton DVALI S range, including the steel platform, SC 20 load cell, PWI-D indicator, and SC-EL mounting arrangement.
Platform structure
The 40 ton DVALI S platform is built as a steel I-beam structure intended for repeated truck traffic and long-term industrial use. This construction gives the model a clear balance between structural stability and a platform size suited to its capacity class.
For buyers choosing between different truck scale sizes, this range covers two practical platform lengths: 10 m and 12 m. That gives flexibility when matching the scale to the site approach, the vehicle type, and the available installation space.

Standard load cell: SC 20
SC 20 is the standard weighing sensor used on this 40 ton model. It is selected for truck scale operation where a stable compression-type load cell is needed for commercial vehicle weighing under real industrial conditions.
Its certified design, sealed construction, and protection against water and side effects make it appropriate for weighbridge service environments where long-term reliability matters as much as nominal accuracy.
- Capacity: 20,000 kg
- Minimum division: 2400 g
- Overload capacity: 30,000 kg
- Accuracy class: C3
- OIML R60 certified

Standard indicator: PWI-D
PWI-D is the standard indicator supplied for the 40 ton DVALI S system. It is used where the operator needs a practical desktop indicator for essential truck scale weighing functions and basic communication with wider site equipment or computer-based recording.
For projects that need data transfer, system expansion, or different display arrangements, this indicator also provides a useful starting point before moving into broader truck scale control solutions.
- Accuracy class: 7000d (III)
- Standard communication: RS232
- Supports up to 8 load cells (350 ohm)
- Housing: plastic, IP54
- Adjustable Modbus protocol

Mounting kit: SC-EL
SC-EL is the mounting kit paired with the standard SC load cell arrangement on this range. Its role is to support stable measurement conditions and help the weighing system cope with movement, vibration, thermal change, and other installation realities seen on working truck scale sites.
- Provides stable measurement in vibration-prone or shock-loaded systems
- Protects the load cell from impact loads
- Eliminates problems caused by thermal expansion
- Corrects possible axis misalignment
- Includes a grounding cable for protection against stray currents

Configuration guide
How to select the right 40 ton setup
A 40 ton truck scale should be chosen according to the real vehicle pattern, available site area, and the level of weighing control needed after installation.
Which platform length suits your trucks?
Vehicle length and axle spread
The main decision between 3 × 10 m and 3 × 12 m is not only space on paper. It depends on the real trucks entering the site, how they position on the platform, and whether the chosen length gives comfortable weighing placement during normal traffic flow.
When is pitless the better option?
Access layout and civil works
Pitless installation is often preferred where the site can accommodate ramps and easy approach lanes. A pit arrangement becomes more attractive when the site has limited approach length or when traffic planning favors a lower-profile installation.
Should the standard weighing system be expanded?
Reporting and data requirements
The standard SC 20 and PWI-D direction is suitable for many operations, but projects with software reporting, traffic control, remote display, or different communication needs may require additional system options at quotation stage.
What support matters after delivery?
Installation, calibration, and follow-up
For many buyers, the long-term value of a truck scale depends not only on the platform itself but also on installation quality, calibration service, repair response, and ongoing technical support once the system is in regular use.
Optional add-ons
Additional systems that can be discussed for this model
The 40 ton DVALI S platform can also be planned with supplementary systems where the project requires more than basic weighing and operator readout.
