Weighing Systems
Elphinstone were the first to introduce on-vehicle weighing systems to Australia in 1976. Originally importing scale systems from the USA, we started building our own Electronics in 1988 and Loadcells in 2001. Over more than 37 years we have installed weighing systems to almost every type of transport vehicle in Australia and many specialised stationary applications.
With a strong engineering background, extensive manufacturing and service facilities and an indepth knowledge of the transport industry we can provide an accurate and reliable weighing system to suit your application and back it up into the future.
Trailers
Elphinstone commenced building logging trailers in 1977 when they built their first folding pole trailer. In 1981 they built the first folding tri-axle trailer and in 1984 built the World's first self loading road train with 4 axle dog Introduced "Air transducers" for air suspensions.
Elphinstone continues to be at the forefront of innovative design with the Easysteer suspension which will increase payload and deck length and provide very accurate on-vehicle weighing.
Antarctic Equipment
Elphinstone have been building equipment for Antarctica since 1985. With the experience of participating in 3 traverses we have first hand knowledge of the design requirements for the extreme Antarctic conditions.
Our Antarctic designed trailers, traverse and slave sleds are all proven performers in the harsh conditions.
The simple bolt together design of our base frames, walkways and stairways make them easy to assemble in the field.
Over the past four decades, Elphinstone has adapted with the changing needs of the transportation industry. Elphinstone's reputation is based on fine workmanship and upfront, no-nonsense, time and cost effective solutions.
