The rest of this guide shows how to do that without paying for features you will never use. How a Weighbridge Reads the Weight The truck drives onto the platform and stops. Load cells under the platform get pressed a tiny bit by the weight. Each one sends a small electric signal. The indicator adds these signals and shows the total on the screen.
