1 - Delivery and Installation Some manufacturers deliver and install scales with their own equipment and personnel. Other manufacturers rely to some extent on third parties, which can mean coordinating delivery schedules, crane rentals, concrete companies, etc. The scale modules typically arrive on a truck trailer once the foundation is prepared. In some cases, they may also travel by rail, or even a standard cargo container (helpful for some remote locations). A crane is then used to lift the modules from their transport vehicle into the scale foundation.
Foundation preparation • Excavate • Form foundation and rebar • Pour foundation concrete • Allow concrete to cure
Scale installation • Survey the foundation and mark for baseplate installation • Place the weighbridge modules (requires a crane and rigging) • Align and level • Place load cells into the scale, run cables and add junction boxes (if required) • Adjust the checking or suspension systems for proper tolerance • Install the terminal and scale peripherals or software • For concrete decks, pour the concrete and allow concrete to cure Setup and calibration • Shift adjustment • Calibrate • Certify with the local Weights and Measures department
