Intercomp's LS788-WIM portable Weigh in Motion scale has received NTEP certification for commercial vehicle weight enforcement.

The product is the firm's latest low-profile, high-performance strain gauge portable scale, which Intercomp says can be deployed by one person in under 15 minutes and fits easily in the back of a vehicle, making it ideal for rapid use at mobile enforcement sites. 

Used with roll-up portable ramps, the system is 0.87" (22 mm) high and can also be used for static weight measurement.

Powered by solar power and batteries, the LS788-WIM scales are completely wireless.

The product has standard RFX wireless-ready communication, which means the system can send weight data to RFX-enabled indicators, displays, CPUs or PCs from distances up to 90m away. 

Thus multiple scales can be operated simultaneously, while workers are kept apart from traffic.

Total system capacity is up to 22,000 lb (9,979 kg): the LS788-WIM delivers accuracy of 2-3% dynamically at speeds of up to 10 mph (16 km/h) and ± 0.5% static weighing precision. 

Intercomp adds that the 35" (89 cm) wide low-profile scale platforms allow the LS788-WIM to handle dual-tyred axles "with ease".
