Rice Lake SURVIVOR OTR Top Access Low-Profile
Concrete and Steel Deck Truck Scales

The SURVIVOR OTR Series vehicle scales feature a low-profile 12.5-inch-thick steel and concrete weighbridge, and an up to 14-foot-wide loading area for greater safety and faster processing during peak usage times.

Top access to all load cells and junction boxes, allows easy installation and maintenance in above ground and pit applications. The SURVIVOR OTR Series vehicle scales maintain legal-for-trade accuracy even with a 90,000 lb concentrated load in mid span of the weighbridge.

All SURVIVOR scales are thoroughly cleaned before painting to remove mill scale, oils or other surface contaminants. An asphalt undercoating is applied to the interior and underside of the entire scale. Galvanized support pans are placed on concrete deck versions. A high-performance epoxy primer is applied to all steel before the specialized hard-coat alkyd enamel completes the process.

OTR Case study

Designed for use with legal highway loads, the SURVIVOR OTR is a cost- effective approach to truck weighing in facilities with moderate traffic.

The SURVIVOR OTR Series truck scale is an outstanding design that incorporates the most advanced engineering and production technology to manufacture the highest quality vehicle weighing system in the marketplace. The OTR Series scales don’t sacrifice quality for price. Both the OTR concrete and steel deck models boast wide flange I-beam construction. The wide flange beam construction helps minimize span deflection and lengthens the life of your truck scale. Both the concrete and steel deck models are built to be the “Toughest Scales on Earth.”™

SURVIVOR OTR Series truck scales are designed to accommodate up to 250 trucks per day for 25 years without weighbridge fatigue. This is equivalent to more than 2 million weighments.

When comparing truck scales, your most important consideration should be the structural integrity of the scale weighbridge. You want to invest in the strongest weighbridge available. Rice Lake’s weighbridge is designed with a higher steel content than competitive scales. RLWS heavy duty structural components provide a weighbridge that will accurately weigh the heaviest trucks, day in and day out.

Steel Deck
The weighbridge on the OTR steel deck model consists of a diamond checkered steel top plate welded on top of twelve 12”, wide flange, 14 pound structural I beams. The beams are positioned longitudinally with the traffic flow, a design based on interstate bridge designs intended to last 100 years. With our longitudinal design, each tire is fully supported by the top plate and a wide flange beam below, eliminating the longitudinal ruts associated with competitive designs utilizing structural shapes instead of heavy bridge iron.

Concrete Deck
Designed and built to federal bridge standards, the full 6" thick reinforced concrete deck of the OTR encases hundreds of 3/4" shear studs welded to the supporting 6" I-beams, creating a monolithic 12" thick rigid weighbridge. Concrete functions best when it remains above the neutral axis in a compression application. Concrete extending below the neutral axis can be damaged by the flexing of tension loading. The eventual cracks caused by the flexing will lead to deterioration of the deck and eventual scale failure.
