Why Sin Huat Hin Machinery (M) Sdn Bhd Offers So Many Types of Weighbridges

And Why This Variety Brings the Greatest Benefit to Customers

For more than 55 years, Sin Huat Hin Machinery (M) Sdn Bhd has been designing and supplying weighing solutions across Malaysia’s most demanding industries—palm oil mills, logistics hubs, recycling yards, plantations, construction sites, quarries, mining sectors, and large-scale manufacturing plants.

One of the most frequently asked questions from new customers is:

“Why does your company offer so many different types of weighbridges?”

From Steel Deck to Semi-Concrete, from Pit to Pit-Less, from Euro Type to Portable, from Standard Duty to Heavy-Duty, and even Hot-Dip Galvanized versions—you may wonder:

Why not just provide one or two simple models?

The answer is simple:

Because every customer, every industry, and every site condition is truly different.

And the correct weighbridge structure can determine:

• How long the scale can last

• How often it needs maintenance

• Whether the accuracy remains stable

• Whether the foundation will crack or fail

• The total cost of ownership over 10–20 years

This is why Sin Huat Hin Machinery provides more than 15 variations, ensuring every user gets a perfectly matched, long-lasting, and cost-efficient solution.

1. Different Installation Types Solve Different Real-World Problems

We supply three main installation styles:

(1) Pit-Less / Above Ground Weighbridge

The most popular choice in Malaysia.

Advantages

• Faster construction (as fast as 3–5 days depending on site)

• No deep excavation required

• Lower risk of water accumulation

• Easier maintenance—it is safer and cleaner to access load cells

• Ideal for flood-prone or muddy locations

• Suitable for plantations, temporary sites, and areas with soft soil

When Pit-Less Is Most Suitable

• Palm oil mills

• Logging & timber industry

• Construction projects

• Agricultural processing facilities

• Locations requiring easy cleaning & drainage

(2) Pit Type / Flush-to-Ground Weighbridge

The deck is level with the ground surface.

Advantages

• Saves space—perfect for tight areas where trucks need to maneuver

• Looks clean and professional

• Smooth driving experience for high-volume logistics

• Convenient for multi-directional truck flow

When Pit Type Is Most Suitable

• Manufacturing plants

• Warehouse logistics centers

• Locations where trucks reverse frequently

• Sites with long-term permanent installations

(3) Portable Weighbridge

Fastest to install and easiest to move.

Advantages

• Can be relocated at any time

• No traditional foundation required

• Ideal for short-term projects

• Lower installation cost

• Perfect for seasonal or temporary operations

When Portable Is Most Suitable

• Construction sites

• Government enforcement stations

• Agriculture harvest seasons

• Temporary industrial projects

• Rental applications

Each installation type helps customers reduce unexpected site and environmental complications.

2. Deck Variations: Steel, Semi-Concrete, and Hot-Dip Galvanized

In Malaysia’s tropical climate, weighbridges face:

• Rainwater exposure

• Mud and soil

• Corrosion

• Heavy industrial traffic

• Humidity

• Acidic waste from palm oil and recycling industries

This is why we offer multiple deck choices.

(1) Steel Deck Weighbridge

The most commonly used structure.

Strengths

• Strong and versatile

• Fastest to install

• Easier to relocate (works well with portable systems)

• Suitable for most general industries

(2) Semi-Concrete Deck (Steel + Concrete Hybrid)

A premium long-lasting structure.

Strengths

• Reduced vibration

• Enhanced stability

• Longer lifespan under heavy load

• Less prone to deformation

• Ideal for industries with high daily weighing frequency

Best For

• Palm oil mills

• Mining operations

• Quarries

• Metal recycling centers

• Heavy logistics hubs

(3) Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Deck

The best option for corrosion-proofing.

Strengths

• Lasts 10–20 years longer in coastal or chemical environments

• Maximum resistance against rust

• Superior durability under humidity, saltwater, and acidic waste

• Lower maintenance cost over long-term usage

Best For

• Port areas

• Marine industries

• Coastal factories

• Chemical processing plants

Using the wrong deck type can drastically shorten the weighbridge lifespan, leading to costly repairs or replacements.
