The Beginnings

Griffith Elder’s first product was the Yield-Per-Field™, an invention which monitored the weight of grain dispensed from a combine harvester. This gave arable farmers previously unavailable management information - vital for profitability in a market where prices were being squeezed at a time when less efficient farmers were going out of business.

It was quickly recognised that weighing in many industrial areas was essential. Weighing has become a necessity to stop theft and to help management become more precise. Griffith Elder has developed a range of products to give information that is crucial in the efficient running of a business, suitable over a variety of industries and purposes. In recent years an emphasis has also been on developing software control systems, designed by Griffith Elder’s own in-house software development team.

Griffith Elder Today

In 1983 the company introduced the Ton-Tel™ electronic weighbridge designed for agricultural use, able to weigh all produce on and off the farm. The Royal Agricultural Society of England awarded the product a Silver Medal for its value to the farming industry.

It was at this point that Griffith Elder found a niche in weighing hauliers’ vehicles for overloaded axles. Consequently, this first weighbridge product led the way for a whole range of weighbridges to be designed, now using our state-of-the-art Weighbus software.

Products now range from very small simple units through to large truck scales capable of taking 200 tonnes. Our products are coupled with sophisticated computer programs to log and report weighing activity. The weighbridges continue to be rapidly taken up by industrial customers because of their robust design and long warranty that has become Griffith Elder’s hallmark of quality.

Over 40 percent of Griffith Elder’s business is from overseas trade. This includes the capability to undertake special projects for particular customers. Standard products can also be modified to suit particular market needs.

Griffith Elder: The Future

Over the last five years Griffith Elder has been developing new technology to design a new range of weighing products with the assistance of a SMART award from the British government. This innovative new product range is putting Griffith Elder into the forefront of weighing systems available to industries across the world.

The sophisticated new technology takes the leading edge in electronic design, creating more accurate highly efficient and internet ready weighing systems which are becoming the mainstay of Griffith Elder’s product range.

Emphasis is put on the ability to connect weight sensors directly into a computer network, without the cumbersome traditional need for secondary electronic processing between them. These new advancements provide a solution to the problems of inaccurate or illicit weights being recorded by unscrupulous operators, while offering accurate equipment to suit a range of weighing requirements.
