Custom Scales

PROBLEM – A timber processor needed to weigh poles that were loaded on rail cars.

SOLUTION – Two steel cradles, with load cell sensors, were mounted on concrete piers. On the way to the rail car the loader paused long enough to set the load on the scale. The weight is stored in memory. When the rail car is loaded, a weigh ticket is printed showing the net weight, product and time & date.

PROBLEM – A lumber mill needed weights on bundled lumber prior to it’s leaving the line.

PROBLEM – A customer had a need for a large – 25,000 lb.- TUF-N-LOW floor scale that could be easily moved to different locations.

SOLUTION – Lift truck fork guides built into the scale. To move it they simply unplugged the weigh meter and placed it on the scale deck. The lift truck could then move it to the new location.

PROBLEM – An aircraft company needed to weigh the planes after modification yet did not want to put built in scales in their hanger floor.
