The Plug and Play indicator is equipped with AC adaptor, auto zero tracking and LED display modes with adjustable filtering and motion detection options.

For extra heavy equipments like airport trucks, trams or containers, modular designed, stainless steel scalar platforms are used. They have a carriage capacity of 30,000-40,000 pounds with 4”, 5”, 6” drop-in place modules and alignment mounting pins. Well-structured tubular shapes have diamond tread deck plates.

Hydraulic platforms are loaded with hydraulic, corrosion free batteries that can hold a huge capacity even in a water prone environment. They are manufactured to endure rugged and tough environments. With no electrical power inside the scale itself, it can be used for weighing in hazardous environments too. The checkered stainless steel platform needs no repairs or maintenance for a long time. Some platforms are fitted with gas-assisted cylinder lift-top decks. As a result, they can be cleaned and washed in case any dust or dirt gets deposited. Alternatively, the platforms can easily help in lifting the goods above and weighing them accordingly. The valve-activated pneumatic cylinder deck lifts open on both ends satisfying sanitation requirements in heavy industrial or bacteria prone environment.

Being the most economical and easy to install equipment, they can be used in any weather condition. The carbon steel framed bars have adjustable feet. With a distance of 6” apart between the bars, the weighing becomes comfortable. They are connected to indicator with more than ten feet long cable. Indicator has LCD display with battery charger and AC adaptor.

Flexure base is best for shock loading applications. With the increase in size, the capacity holding power also increases. Various options are available to use flexure base; fork lift skid, leveling feet, diamond deck plate, lag down brackets and harsh environment packages. These options are used along with indicator fitted with AC adaptor batteries.

A floor scale can be a complete weighing solution that is offered in different packages which are suitable for different applications or environments.
