What is a Container Weighing System used for?

The Container Weighing System is used to verify the gross weight (VGM – Verified Gross Mass) of containers in maritime transport. It provides weighing in compliance with SOLAS regulations.

What capacity options are available?

Our system has a 40-tonne capacity. The KT/8 model offers 3×8 m platform dimensions, while the KT/15 model provides 3×15 m platform dimensions.

Can an external display be connected?

Yes, an external display can optionally be connected at distances up to 100 metres. The display can be wall-mounted or placed on a floor-standing bracket.

What certifications does the system have?

Our system is 2014/31-EU Type System approved and has CE standard certification. It has legal accuracy accepted by the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology.

What is the operating temperature range?

The Container Weighing System operates without issues at temperatures between -20°C and +60°C.

How can the platform surface be manufactured?

The platform can be manufactured with either paint or chrome finish, depending on preference.

Container Weighing System: Professional SOLAS VGM Compliant Solutions

Container weighing systems are high-capacity industrial weighing solutions specifically designed for ports, logistics centres, and export facilities. Manufactured by Tamçeki with over 40 years of experience, these systems ensure accurate and reliable container weight verification in compliance with SOLAS VGM regulations.

International maritime regulations require the Verified Gross Mass (VGM) of every packed container to be determined before it is loaded onto a ship. Container weighing systems provide the most direct and accurate method of obtaining this critical measurement, ensuring safety at sea and regulatory compliance.

Why Are Container Weighing Systems Important?

Accurate container weight data is essential for vessel stability calculations, cargo planning, and preventing overloaded containers from endangering ships and crews. The SOLAS amendment, effective from July 2016, makes VGM verification mandatory for all shippers worldwide.

High-Capacity Platform Structure

With a 40-tonne capacity and platform options of 3×8 m and 3×15 m, the container weighing system accommodates standard 20-foot and 40-foot containers with ease. The robust steel construction withstands the heavy loads and impacts common in port environments.

Designed for Port Environments

Built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions including salt spray, dust, and temperature extremes from -20°C to +60°C, these systems feature dust and moisture-resistant construction. The platform surface can be manufactured with paint or chrome finish to suit specific environmental requirements.

European Standards Certification

All container weighing systems are approved under the 2014/31-EU type approval system and comply with CE standards. Meeting legal metrology requirements, these systems can be used for official trade weighing operations.
