Types of Truck Scales
Portable Legal for Trade Truck Scales
Temporary or seasonal worksites may not need a permanent truck scale installation, but if Legal for Trade weights are required, axle scales or wheel weighers are not an option. The solution is a portable, Legal for Trade truck scale.
Manufacturers often use their established weighbridge design and make minimal adaptations to create a portable weighing system. This helps ensure durability in the portable truck scale. Many truck scale distributors also rent out portable truck scales for temporary or seasonal applications, so you should talk to your distributor about this option.
Low-profile Truck Scales
Some truck scale manufacturers can produce lighter-duty weighbridges with low profiles to fit existing foundations. Legacy truck scale models were manufactured with lower profiles, meaning most contemporary standard truck scale models won’t fit existing foundations. Other manufacturers are able to produce low-profile truck scales that maintain the integrity and strength of their standard models. They may even be able to manufacture truck scales with higher profiles to fit existing pit foundations.
Having a truck scale with a custom profile height saves time and money because it eliminates the costly construction process of reworking a foundation.
