Weigh the weighbridge. The amount of steel used in the weighbridge directly relates to the truck scale’s length of service. Rice Lake’s SURVIVOR truck scales use 25 to 30% more steel than competitor’s

Heavy bridge-design wide-flange I-beams supporting the top plate should be positioned longitudinally with traffic flow and spaced so all tires are supported by both top plate and a wide flange I-beam below. Rice Lake’s SURVIVOR truck scales use more I-beams strategically spaced to support each tire regardless of truck position

Replacing a truck scale on an existing foundation or fitting a truck scale to unique locations or space limitations need not incur extra design fees. Rice Lake custom-builds the right sized scale for your application

Bumper bolts work loose and check rods can bind the scale. Rice Lake’s patented G-Force self-checking mounting system provides a superior load cell mounting and performance without bumper bolts or check rods

Harsh environments and corrosive materials quickly deteriorate truck scale components. Rice Lake applies asphalt emulsion undercoating to all non-visible steel surfaces. High performance epoxy primer and specialized hard-cost alkyd enamel is applied to all visible steel surfaces.

Closed bottom weighbridge designs with both top and bottom plates, typically using lighter weight components, create cavities that tend to hold moisture causing rusting of internal components. Rice Lake’s SURVIVOR OTR steel deck weighbridge features open bottom design providing unrestricted airflow
