Concrete deck truck scales
Concrete deck configurations for operations that want long-term durability, mass, and application-specific performance under continuous heavy traffic.

A concrete deck truck scale uses a poured or precast concrete driving surface over a steel structure. The added mass gives a solid, planted feel that many operators prefer for very high traffic, and concrete stands up well to abrasion when properly specified and sealed.
Concrete deck systems are well suited to permanent installations where relocation isn’t a priority and the operation values a long surface life under heavy, continuous use. Specific deck constructions, capacities, and certifications to be confirmed for the ScaleTex concrete deck line.
Common applications
Ready-mix & asphalt
Continuous heavy axle loads and corrosive washdown runoff.
Aggregates & mining
Permanent, high-traffic sites that value surface mass and durability.
Landfill & transfer
24/7 operation where a long-life permanent deck pays off.
Ports & bulk terminals
High throughput with the heaviest sustained loading.
Cement & building materials
Permanent scales sized for constant inbound/outbound traffic.
Municipal facilities
Documented, compliant weighing built for the long term.

Steel deck vs. concrete deck
| Factor | Concrete deck | Steel deck |
|---|---|---|
| Surface life (high traffic) | Very long | Long with corrosion prep |
| Install speed | Slower (pour & cure) | Faster (no deck cure) |
| Relocation | Difficult | Easier (lighter) |
| Up-front cost | Typically higher | Typically lower |
| Best fit | Permanent, very high volume | Fast install, relocation, lower cost |
