A weighbridge installed, calibrated and weighing, by the people who will support it.
AEA Limited (Avery East Africa) has been supplying and installing weighbridges and truck scales in Kenya for decades. KiloSahihi is the software side of the same team: the engineers who pour the foundation, set the load cells and calibrate the bridge also commission the software, so one call covers the whole bridge.

How an installation runs
From site survey to the first ticket.
The same sequence for a new bridge, a replacement deck or a relocation.
- 1
Site survey
Traffic, the longest and heaviest vehicles, approach lengths, drainage and power. This decides the deck length, capacity, and whether a pit or pitless bridge suits the site.
- 2
Civil works
Foundation drawings are issued for the chosen bridge. Our team supervises the pour, or does the civils, so the pads are level and the approaches are long enough for a truck to sit flat on the deck.
- 3
Deck and load cells
The deck modules are set on the load cells, the junction box is wired and sealed, and the bridge is levelled and checked for free movement before anything is weighed.
- 4
Indicator and cabling
The weighing indicator, printer and PC go in the weighbridge office, with the cable run in conduit and surge protection where the site needs it.
- 5
Calibration and verification
The bridge is calibrated with certified test weights across its range, corner-tested, and prepared for stamping by the Weights and Measures department so tickets are legally valid for trade.
- 6
Software and training
KiloSahihi is installed on the office PC, reads the indicator, and the operators are trained on weigh-in, weigh-out, tickets and reports. The first real ticket prints before we leave.
On site
Load cells wired in the pit.

Each load cell cable is terminated and sealed in the junction box before the deck goes on. This is where most later weighing faults start, so it is done once and done properly.
What we supply and do
Everything from the concrete up.
Pit and pitless weighbridges
Economy analog, digital and premium Avery Weigh-Tronix bridges, single deck, multi-deck and axle, 9 to 24 metres and 30 to 150 tonnes.
Load cells and indicators
Analog and digital load cells, junction boxes and indicators from Avery Weigh-Tronix, Keli and XK3190, supplied through KiloShop.
Civil works
Foundation design, supervision or full civils, approach ramps, drainage and the weighbridge office.
Calibration and stamping
Calibration with certified test weights, corner and linearity tests, and preparation for Weights and Measures verification.
Repair and load cell replacement
Drifting weights, dead corners and lightning damage diagnosed on site, load cells and cables replaced, the bridge recalibrated.
Relocation and upgrades
Decks moved to a new site, analog bridges upgraded to digital, old indicators replaced so the bridge can run KiloSahihi.
Software commissioning
KiloSahihi installed and connected to the indicator, tickets designed, ERP posting and cameras switched on as needed.
Automation hardware
ANPR cameras, overview cameras, boom barriers, traffic lights and driver kiosks for partially or fully unmanned bridges.
Service contracts
Scheduled calibration checks and preventive maintenance so the bridge stays accurate and legally stamped.
Your existing bridge
Most calls are about a bridge that is already there.
A weighbridge that reads differently at each corner, drifts through the day or disagrees with the buyer's bridge usually has a load cell, cable or junction box problem, not a deck problem. We test on site, replace what has failed and recalibrate, and the bridge is back in service the same day in most cases.
Older analog bridges with a working deck are upgraded rather than replaced: new load cells and a modern indicator, and the bridge runs KiloSahihi with cameras and ERP posting like a new one, at a fraction of the cost.
- Corner, drift and repeatability tests on site
- Load cells, cables and junction boxes replaced
- Analog to digital upgrades on the existing deck
- Recalibration and re-stamping arranged
Where we work
Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and beyond.
Installations are done by our own engineers from Nairobi, with sites across Kenya and in Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo: cement plants, breweries, fuel depots, quarries, grain and feed mills, tea and coffee factories, packhouses and cooperative collection centres. Support after installation is a phone call or a WhatsApp message away in English or Kiswahili.
- Installed and commissioned on site
- Support in English and Kiswahili
- Hardware through KiloShop, software from the same team
- One contact for the bridge and the software
Questions
Frequently asked
- How long does a weighbridge installation take?
- Once the foundation has cured, setting the deck, wiring the load cells, installing the indicator and calibrating usually takes two to four days for a single-deck bridge. Civil works add three to four weeks, most of it concrete curing time.
- Pit or pitless weighbridge?
- Pitless bridges sit above ground with ramps at each end and are easier to clean and drain, so they suit most sites with space. Pit bridges are flush with the road and suit tight yards or sites where trucks must cross the bridge in both directions. The survey decides.
- Do you calibrate and arrange Weights and Measures stamping?
- Yes. The bridge is calibrated with certified test weights and prepared for verification by the Weights and Measures department, which is required before tickets are used for trade in Kenya.
- Can you repair or upgrade my existing weighbridge?
- Yes. Load cells, cables, junction boxes and indicators are replaced on site, and analog bridges are upgraded to digital on the existing deck. The upgraded bridge runs KiloSahihi like a new one.
- Is the software included?
- KiloSahihi is commissioned as part of every installation. Weighing, tickets, reports and offline operation are included; ERP posting, cameras, M-Pesa and unmanned automation are licensed as you need them.
- Do you work outside Kenya?
- Yes. Bridges have been installed and are supported in Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with the same team and the same software.
