YOUR STORE FOR LOAD CELLS, SCALE, WEIGHT INDICATORS.

Weight control for every truck through the gate.

Truck scale weighing for logistics and transportation: load cells under the deck, smart junction boxes, indicators and ticketing in the scale house, automation for unattended lanes, and upgrade kits for the weighbridge you already run. Sized for terminals, transfer yards, ports, quarries and ready-mix fleets, and shipped from stock in Davie, FL.

A loaded semi-trailer truck rolls onto a pit truck scale and stops on the deck. The pit is shown cut away: four rocker-column load cells stand on concrete piers under the deck, cabled to a junction box on the pit wall. A cable runs from the junction box to the indicator in the scale house, and a remote display on a post repeats the weight for the driver. 78420 Load cells under the deck Junction box joins the cells Remote display for the driver Indicator Pit shown cut away deck flush with the lane

Truck scale solutions from gate to dispatch

From the inbound gate to the dispatch screen, we supply the weighing, integration and automation around a truck scale. Pick a solution to see where it fits in the lane and what it includes.

One supplier for every weigh point

Every orange part on the drawing is something we supply: the load cells under the deck, the junction box and radio, the indicator in the scale house and the remote display for the driver. Barriers, traffic lights, readers and cameras are drawn in navy: our automation connects to them. Pick a solution above, or tap a ring on the drawing.

Truck scale weighing

Rocker-column load cells under a pit or surface deck weigh every truck that crosses the gate. Cells rated 30 to 75 t each, in 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12-cell layouts, give you one gross weight per truck for loading checks, yard inventory and dispatch.

What it takes

Cell diagnostics and wireless

A smart junction box reads every load cell on its own channel, so a drifting corner shows up in the scale house before it skews the weight. Add a LoRa radio and the deck talks to the indicator without a home-run cable to trench.

What it takes

Ticketing and dispatch data

The indicator in the scale house stores each weighment and issues the ticket: gross, tare and net, by customer account. Serial and optional Ethernet outputs send the same numbers to your dispatch or yard system, so nobody retypes a weight.

Unattended weighing

Truck scale automation ties the weighing cycle to RFID vehicle ID, the entrance barrier, traffic lights, presence sensors and IP cameras. Each truck is identified at the gate and weighed only once it is fully on the deck, and the record is stored with its snapshot, so routine traffic runs without an operator.

What it takes

Retrofit and upgrades

Upgrade kits replace a tired indicator, junction box or load cells on the weighbridge you already have, without re-pouring the foundation. Choose wired analog, wired digital or fully wireless, and keep the deck and pit you paid for.

What it takes

Every weighment becomes a ticket

The indicator in the scale house is where a weight becomes a record. With ticketing software it keeps customer accounts, issues gross, tare and net tickets, raises overload alerts and builds daily reports, then hands the same numbers to your dispatch system.

Gross, tare and net tickets
Weigh in loaded, weigh out empty, and the ticket carries the net.
Customer accounts
Each weighment is stored against its customer and vehicle.
Vehicle ID at the gate
RFID tags link the truck to its weighing cycle, with no manual ticket or plate entry.
Overload alerts
A truck over its limit is flagged before it leaves the yard.
Snapshots with the record
IP camera images from weigh-in and weigh-out are stored with the weight.
Outputs to your systems
RS-232 and RS-485 serial, optional Ethernet, and a configurable output string.

Already have a weighbridge? Send a photo of the nameplate.

Send foundation plans, deck dimensions, or a photo of the existing scale and its nameplate. We come back with a complete kit: parts list, cell capacity, junction wiring, indicator setup, lead time and the calibration path, usually within one business day.

From yard sketch to a calibrated scale

  1. Survey

    Under 1 business day

    You share the yard layout, vehicle mix, daily truck count, and whether the scale is pit or surface. We confirm the constraints: soil, drainage and how the weights reach your host system.

  2. Engineering

    1 to 3 business days

    You get a complete parts list with model numbers and cell capacities, a junction wiring diagram, the indicator setup and lead time per line.

  3. Supply

    Same day to 4 weeks

    Truck scale kits ship same day from Davie, FL. Matched cell sets, pre-terminated junction boxes, surge protection and mounting hardware come in one crate per scale, labeled to your project.

  4. Commission

    On request

    Phone, video or on-site support during commissioning: corner-load adjustment through the smart junction box, a test-truck calibration walk-through and final documentation.

Questions buyers ask

What foundation does a pit or surface truck scale need?

Surface scales sit on a flat concrete pad with ramps at each end, usually 8 to 12 in of reinforced concrete with good drainage. Pit scales drop into a poured concrete pit with weep drains, anchor pockets to the scale maker's drawing, and room to reach the cells. We supply the foundation drawing with the quote; the slab or pit itself is built by your local civil contractor.

Can I upgrade an existing weighbridge without new civil work?

Yes. Our upgrade kits replace the indicator, junction box and load cells on the deck you already have, without re-pouring the foundation. They come wired analog, wired digital or fully wireless with a LoRa radio. Send a photo of the scale and its nameplate and we match the kit.

How often should we recalibrate a truck scale?

Recalibrating every 6 months is good practice for high-volume scales running 200 or more tickets a day. A smart junction box flags drift cell by cell between calibrations, so you catch a bad corner early. Ask us about the diagnostics workflow.

Can the indicator send weights to my dispatch software?

Yes. Our truck scale indicator has RS-232 and RS-485 serial ports, optional Ethernet, and a configurable output string. Our ticketing software is the turnkey path, with customer accounts, gross, tare and net tickets, overload alerts and daily reports. If you already run a TMS or dispatch system, send us the integration spec and we match the output.

Can the scale run without an operator?

Yes. Our truck scale automation reads RFID tags at the gate, opens the barrier only when the deck is free, holds traffic on the lights until the truck is fully on the deck, and stores IP camera snapshots with each weight record. Routine traffic then runs without anyone in the scale house.

What are typical lead times on a complete kit?

Complete truck scale kits ship same day from Davie, FL stock in the popular 8, 10 and 12-cell configurations: wired analog, wired digital or fully wireless. Specialty builds, such as oversized capacities, custom cabinetry or in-motion configurations, typically take 2 to 4 weeks. Exact dates come with the quote.
