Elphinstone Unveils New Hydraulic Transducer; Australian-made Precision for Heavy Haulage

When it comes to hauling big loads across rugged country, precise weighing isn’t just necessary – it’s essential. Elphinstone Weighing Systems has just raised the bar with the release of their new Hydraulic Transducer, engineered and manufactured in Melbourne to deliver industry-leading precision, even in the most challenging conditions Australia can throw at it.

This heavy-duty sensor forms the heart of Elphinstone’s Easyweigh® Heavy Haulage system, converting hydraulic pressure into precise, real-time weight data. The result? Reliable, repeatable measurements every time – even when the mercury soars, the dust kicks up, or the trailer load shifts.
