Standard Weighbridges

Formed in 1930, Standard Weighbridges Pty Ltd was commenced by Wentworth Armstrong, a Salesman from Sydney, who left the Scale manufacturing company he had worked for, and started business with a weighbridge purchased from his previous employer, because in the 1920’s the Government operated most Public Weighbridges, and did not give the hours or type of service that many transport companies were looking for. We almost didn’t get started, as the bank decided to reverse their decision to lend "Wenty" the money, and this when he had left his job, and ordered the scale! He issued shares and sold them to family and friends, and started business just as the great depression was in full swing! The company survived, and went on to have 7 sites before "Wenty’s" death, in the time when manufacturing industry was large in Australia.

The company has gone on to develop larger and more high-tech systems, and trucks have continued to grow larger, from having weighbridges 10 metres long, we now have 27 metres length at one site.

Standard Autoweigh

Formed by Wentworth’s Son and Grandson, this organization has gone on to develop Automation and other Computer programs for Manned and Unmanned weighing of Trucks, as well as Silo and Grain handling programs for bulk handling, in conjunction with a computer software company.

The latest software is Microsoft Windows compatible, and is user friendly and sophisticated.
