Today we present a project carried out for a container terminal in the port of Castellón, expanding its capacity to control the weight of containers and adding to the process of responding to the needs of its customers.
It has direct rail connections with the interior of the country and serves the Mediterranean area, the Middle East and North Africa, has a terminal area of 120,000m2 and an annual container capacity of 250,000Teus that make this terminal one of the most important logistics points of the Mediterranean coasts.
Its facilities and infrastructures are equipped with a complete technological equipment, including high-capacity cranes, telescopic stackers, empty container handlers, forklifts and weighbridges installed by Giropes.
On this occasion, they have opted for a BPGSM model of 18 meters in length and capable of measuring up to 80Tn in weight, fully verified in legal metrology and ENAC certified, ensuring good management and control of heavy loads.
BPGSM scale
Ideal for demanding environments
BPGS scales are characterized by their unidirectional use. Installed on the ground, they have a range of different sizes available: from 6x3m to 18x3m, with a variability in height depending on the load measurement volume.
Their reduced dimensions and the light weight of the modules that make them up, facilitate their handling in assembly, maintenance and cleaning operations. In addition, its low height saves on civil works operations since relatively short ramps are required for its installation.
With side beams that act as a guide to avoid possible accidents, the BPGSM scale's measuring capacity ranges from 60T to 80T, capturing the weight by means of analog compression cells or with the possibility of using other types of load cells in case of special requirements.
The weightbridges support various accessories such as license plate reader cameras, access control barriers, indicator lights or self-service terminals such as the GST4 that transform them into a very convenient and agile tool when it comes to perform its function.
As always, it is a pleasure to collaborate with our customers to improve and promote their technology and the correct flow of information and coordination as far as weighing solutions are concerned. From Giropes, we thank you for your trust and we hope to continue adding to the formalization of the future of port and terminal logistics. Thank you!
