What the specs mean for you
| Spec | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| 12″ I-beams (22 lb/ft) | Rigid structure that resists deflection and fatigue, for stable accuracy under the heaviest haul trucks and loader point-loads. |
| 3/8″ diamond-plate deck | Durable, high-traction driving surface that resists wear, weather, and abrasion. |
| 75,000 lb shear-beam cells | Proven, accurate, repairable sensing, with 60 ft of cable to reach your scale house. |
| Anchored load cell stands | Stable mounting that holds alignment under load and shock. |
| Weldless-link suspension | Deck self-centers: less binding, fewer service calls, consistent readings. |
| Low-profile pitless | Faster, cheaper install; easy under-deck access for cleanout and service; simple to relocate. |
| White-metal corrosion prep | Underside protection where steel decks fail first, for longer life in wet, corrosive service. |
Protected where steel decks fail first
Every surface is sandblasted to white metal, including the bottom of the deck, then sealed with rust-inhibitive primer and an enamel finish coat. It’s the difference between a deck that lasts and one that quietly rusts from below.

Frequently asked
What capacity do I need?
Full-scale capacity and CLC to be confirmed. As a rule, your scale should comfortably exceed the heaviest legal gross vehicle weight you’ll cross it with. Tell us your trucks and we’ll size it.
How long does install take?
The low-profile pitless design installs faster than a pit scale, with no deep excavation or long concrete cure. Typical timelines to confirm.
Is it legal-for-trade?
NTEP / legal-for-trade status to be confirmed (Certificate of Conformance). Legal-for-trade is required anywhere product changes hands by weight.
Who services it?
Installation, calibration, and service are available through qualified dealers and service partners; coverage and response times vary by region. See the support network.
