SURVIVOR® OTR Concrete Deck Truck Scale

The SURVIVOR OTR six-inch concrete deck sits above the truck scale’s neutral axis and is supported by a six-inch steel deck substructure, delivering maximum strength to the entire length and width of the deck modules.

Many competitive weighbridges try to compensate for lighter steel and the lack of steel components by pouring a nine, 10 or 12 inch concrete deck, often extending below the neutral axis. This can result in dangerous concrete bending, which can cause surface cracks after only a short period of use.

Long-lasting Value

SURVIVOR OTR truck scales are designed to accommodate a minimum of 250 trucks per day for 25 years without weighbridge fatigue—equivalent to more than two million weighments. Rice Lake’s warranty covers load cells, junction boxes and suspension systems to ensure worry-free operation. SURVIVOR OTR truck scales also include a lightning protection package, and weighbridges are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is available for a choice between five and an industry-leading 12 years from delivery.

Tough from Start to Finish

Concrete deck OTR truck scales go through an extensive finishing process: blast-cleaning to remove mill scale and surface imperfections, maximum coating adhesion preparation, galvanized support pan placement on the concrete deck, high-solids urethane primer and paint application, and an asphalt emulsion undercoating on all non-visible steel surfaces.

Integrated Load Cell Pockets

Top access to load cells and junction boxes through an integrated load cell pocket ensures easy installation and maintenance. Load cell pockets are made with heavy-duty steel plates incorporated into the design of the scale, adding extraordinary strength and integrity to a critical area of the weighbridge.

Self-checking Mounting System

Rice Lake’s G-Force™ self-checking mounting system eliminates excess movement and scale wear by using 100 percent of the gravitational force from the loading action against itself, returning the scale to center without check rods or bumper bolts.
