Providing Solutions with a Variety of Load Cells

The Translink parallel link truck scale assembly is designed for use with Rice Lake Weighing Systems’ RL75223 and RL75040, VPG Revere 5223 or VPG Sensortronics’ 65040A load cells. This design allows the scale platform to move freely in all directions in a horizontal plane while causing the platform to self-center because of the pendulous action of the links. The unique parallel link design eliminates the need for costly and troublesome checkrods. Simply install platform bumpers and forget about over-travel. This mount is ideal for heavy-capacity weighbridges.
