A weight off your mind

Foreign material such as dirt, spilled product and grit can enter the gaps at the side of weighbridge platforms, potentially causing mechanical problems. This is prevented by use of weighbridge rubber. These T-Section weighbridge rubbers sit in the gap around the outside of the weighbridge, with the top section creating a cover over the gap, to keep materials from entering.

But because they are black in colour no one can see them and as such cannot be used to help truckers line up their vehicles in the dark.

J-Flex has therefore introduced a bright coloured range of TPR Extrusions that are clearly visible as lorry headlights make them stand out. 

One customer – an oat mill in Northern England – was experiencing time delays when trucks were loading late at night. To run a safe working area and help speed up loading, the complete weighbridge area has been fitted with J-Flex Bright Yellow T-Section.
