Container Terminal Weigh-In-Motion Scales

Minneapolis, MN - Intercomp Weigh-In-Motion Scale Systems have been selected and installed for use in the lanes at the West Basin Container Terminal (WBCT) within the Port in Long Beach, CA. The WBCT partnered with Intercomp to increase efficiency and overall terminal, in-gate velocity in the flow of trucks through the security entrance.
Prior to the installation of Intercomp’s LS-WIM In-Ground Weigh-In-Motion Scales, older static truck scales had been used and required drivers to stop on the scales to manually receive a weight. Incoming drivers would need to wait in line until a lane became available prior to entry. This limited volume and maintenance costs substantially for operators. Intercomp’s LS-WIM Scales are also integrated with the Terminal Operating System (TOS) along with cameras, audio integration and RFID.
According to Robert Chou, IT Manager at WBCT, “WIM is an exciting solution to our gate capacity problem. This essentially transforms every pedestal into a scale lane.”
Intercomp’s LS-WIM Weigh-In-Motion systems feature industry-leading strain gauge load cell technology, the same type used in static truck scales for increased accuracy, repeatability and fast response times. Due to the small footprint of these scales when compared to traditional 65+ foot static truck scales, they can be installed in a matter of days, with minimal downtime, and are also far less expensive to purchase and install than traditional static truck scales.
Intercomp’s WIM solutions help automate processing entry and exit traffic at any type of container facility. Their complete line of Weigh-In-Motion equipment has been field-tested and proven for a wide variety of Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) and Law Enforcement Applications. Applications range from Low-Speed to High-Speed Applications for high volume data collection and screening for direct enforcement.
