Preamble
Content
The purpose of this guide is to provide educational information to both new and sea- soned truck scale buyers. It is intended to provide more and different information than you find in sales brochures. While brochures typically discuss “who” and “what,” this guide answers “how” and “why.” Most content in this guide is intended to be unbiased and universal in nature. However, there are occasional notes that reflect information about METTLER TOLEDO products. Most often, this is to explain how our systems and components work. You should have no trouble distinguishing the universal information from the information that is specific to METTLER TOLEDO. METTLER TOLEDO is not the only company that makes good truck scales. However, we believe that our products provide exceptional quality and meaningful innovations. Our hope is that this guide will help you judge for yourself.
Truck scale systems, including the weighbridge, load cells, software, and accessories, should be hand-picked to suit your business and its needs. With some fairly basic con- siderations, you can establish your requirements for a weighbridge that should last many years.
