Concrete Deck vs. Steel Deck Drive Surface
Scale Options
Truck scales are designed with either steel tread-plate or poured concrete drive surfaces. The customer should select their driving surface based on these differentiating factors.
Guide Rails: Scale mounted guides provide a visual aid to ensure drivers keep the truck on the scale.
Manholes: Pit foundation access may be provided through manhole access in the weighbridge.
Concrete Deck • Weighbridge mass is heavier and more stable to withstand the dynamic loading of over-the- road trucks, 1.5X the weight of a typical over- the-road tractor trailer • Reduced slip hazard in wet or icy conditions
Steel Deck • 2 to 3 week faster installation time
• Portability options available for easy transport from one location to another with simple as- sembly
Scoreboards / Driver Displays: Provides drivers with a large visual display of active weight reading.
Dump-Through Scales: Trucks are emptied through the center of the scale to lower conveyer systems.
Scale Risers: Risers raise the weighbridge to prevent material build-up and to allow easier cleaning.
Custom Finishes: Weighbridges are protected against corrosion with special paint and steel finishes.
Portability Frames: Steel outer structure that allows the weighbridge to be moved for short-term use.
Traffic Control: Automated lights, loops, and photo eyes manage traffic near the scale.
