WHAT MAKES A TRUCK SCALE, A TRUCK SCALE
A truck scale, also called a weighbridge, is a weighing platform that measures the amount of vertical flexing that occurs when a truck drives onto a platform. This analog measurement is called deflection. The truck scale’s electronic components then convert the analog signal into the digital weight readout we are used to seeing.
TYPES OF VEHICLE WEIGHING
There are many different types of vehicle weighing systems, each with its own advantages from mobile solutions to permanent and integrated scales.
Weighbridge Truck Scales
Our design uses more steel within the infrastructure of the scale than most competitive models for a stronger weighbridge. Rice Lake’s G-FORCE™ self-checking mounting system assures accurate weightments without needing bumper bolts or check rods.
Many weighbridge truck scales offer Legal for Trade Certification—a necessity if you plan to sell goods using the scale’s weight readout.
