  • Page 5: Planning A Truck Scale Installation

    Planning a Truck Scale Installation A vehicle scale is a major investment and probably represents one of the most expensive weighing systems you will ever buy. With that expense in mind, the decision must be founded in long-range plan- ning that takes into account all present and likely future uses of the scale system. Ideally, a qualified project engineer familiar with your industry should analyze your company's needs and write specifica- tions for a comprehensive solution to meet those needs.
  • Page 6 Life Cycle and Warranty Considerations 15. The heart of a vehicle scale is the weighbridge. How long is the weighbridge warranty? 16. How much does the deck bend under a maximum legal highway load on tandem-axle spacing? 17. What is the “r” factor of the weighbridge compared to Federal Bridge Standards? Load Cells and Suspension 18.

  • Page 11: Scale Information

    Scale Information Weighbridge Structure Comparing truck scale application capacities can be confusing. Different manufacturers highlight differ- ent values in their sales, engineering, and service documents, which can be perceived as the same thing - even when they are not. For example, the Concentrated Load Capacity (CLC) and “r” factor ratings (from Federal Bridge Standards) are often perceived as a method of determining the strength of a weigh- bridge.

  • Page 12: Span Deflection Ratio

    Most problems of truck scale suitability are for trucks that do not typically travel on highways. For example, the Rice Lake Weighing Systems SURVIVOR series trucks scales (and their foundations) have been designed for a 90,000 lb 4' tandem axle load, hence their “r”...

  • Page 13: Truck Scale Grounding And Lightning Protection

    Truck Scale Grounding and Lightning Protection As a general rule, always strive for a single-point grounding system. Do not drive ground rods at the scale location and establish a separate earth ground for the scale. This separate earth ground may not share the same zero reference as the existing earth ground for the AC power system.

  • Page 14: Lightning And Transient Protection Options

    Lightning and Transient Protection Options A lightning protection package is available as an option for all SR and EZ scales. The individual compo- nents of this comprehensive package are designed to protect AC and DC portions of the system, as well as any serial communication lines.

  • Page 15: Lightning Protection Extended Warranty Coverage

    In addition to the purchase of the Lightning Protection Package (LPP1 or LPP2) there also must be a biannual contract inspection of the site and inspection of the transient protection electronics for acceptance of coverage by Rice Lake Weighing Systems. The inspection must be completed by a qualified RLWS distributor.

    Concrete, Rebar, and Mesh Requirements Materials estimates for concrete foundations (slab or pier), approaches, standard 34' long ramps, and decks can be drawn from the following charts. The charts include the most popular truck scale models from 11' x 60' up to 14' x 93'. Note that either a reinforced slab foundation, or a pier foundation may be used with any of the scale models.

  • Page 22: Checklist Of Foundation Questions

    Checklist of Foundation Questions Most truck scale installation companies will subcontract the concrete foundation work to a local firm specializing in that work. The foundation drawings include specifications and requirements in sufficient detail so subcontractors can bid directly from the drawings. As in all subcontracting, however, peripheral items require a clear understanding of the party responsible for each item.
