Weighing apparatus for weighing vehicles (2) comprises a load platform made in adjoined sections (4,6,8) each supported by brackets (30,32,34,36,40, 42,44,46) which project into gaps (38,48) between opposed ends of adjacent platform sections (4,6 or 6,8) or into gaps (57) between the end of a platform section (4,8) and the end portions of the foundation structure (28). The brackets rest on load-sensing units (10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24) which are accessible for maintenance in the gaps. Each unit can be removed without substantial movement of the platform sections (4,6,8), by inserting a lifting jack into the gap and lifting the platform sections. The platform sections (4,6,8) may be made of concrete, and have their supporting brackets (30 to 46) asymmetrically arranged so that the platform sections are interchangeable. <IMAGE> |
