10% more trucks weighed
The Accurate Weighing Scales truck scale utilizes an 80-foot scale platform, and this additional 10 feet allows the scale to weigh approximately 10 percent more trucks using a single measurement, rather than axle by axle. The replacement also added a foot in width to the platform, making the scale easier to access. It is also accompanied by a unique railing design tly all 12 feet of the scale width usable.
Mark Hudzinski, account manager at Accurate Weighing Scales, worked with Will to provide a scale system that met all of Roofings’s specifications and was built to last.
“The company calls it the U.S.S. Roofings,” Hudzinski said of the new truck scale. “The scale platform is designed with a substantial amount of steel in the weighbridge to withstand heavy rain and frequent use, and the load cells are well protected from environmental elements.”
Short scale approach
As the new scale would consume a greater footprint than the prior one, along with installing the scale, Hudzinski and his team of technicians were required to redesign the scale approaches. Space is limited in Roofings’ busy scrap yard, so all of this needed to be accomplished within a confined area while maintaining safety and ease of use. Their efforts made an impression on drivers.
“They did an excellent job designing new approaches. Our truck drivers may not know about the heavy duty deck and load cell design, but they tell us that the extra scale width is helpful – and the approaches are better than before,” Will said. “The project was completed in a timely matter, and they made sure I was involved in the design process,” he added.
With this new truck scale in place, Roofings can continue running its busy operations efficiently while ensuring the highest accuracy in all scrap weighing – optimizing transactions to ensure reliable pricing, thus maintaining customer satisfaction.
