60-tonne or 80-tonne: which Hippo-S?
Both Hippo-S models use a 3 m × 18 m steel deck on eight IP68 ESİT SC load cells with a PWI-T terminal, so most articulated trucks are weighed in one go. The 060T-HI-S-0318 weighs up to 60 tonnes in 20 kg divisions (400 kg minimum). The 080T-HI-S-0318 weighs up to 80 tonnes in 50 kg divisions (1,000 kg minimum). Choose the 60 t model where finer resolution matters on lighter loads, and the 80 t model for heavily loaded trucks at quarries, cement plants, ports and bulk-grain sites.
How it compares
- Hippo-A 60T: same build on a shorter 14 m deck, for rigid trucks and tight yards.
- Hippo Hi-A 100T: for loads above 80 tonnes.
- CS steel-concrete and CB concrete: concrete decks for very high daily traffic where civil works cost less than a steel deck.
Installation, calibration and verification
The modular deck ships in sections and is assembled on site, either in a pit or surface-mounted with ramps. Scalestech surveys the site, provides foundation drawings, installs and calibrates the weighbridge, and arranges Weights & Measures verification so it can be used for trade. Service contracts and recalibration are available through our calibration services.
Frequently asked questions
An 18 m deck takes most articulated trucks in a single weighing. Tell us your longest vehicle and we will confirm the right deck length; Hippo decks run from 4 m to 24 m.
Yes. ANPR, cameras, a remote display and traffic lights are optional; with SPWin automation the site can run with minimal staff.
It carries legal metrology approval and a CE certificate; once installed it is verified and stamped by Weights & Measures before trade use.
Yes. We install across Kenya and East Africa, with recent projects in Eldoret, Nakuru County and Nairobi.
