Every new weighbridge design undergoes rigorous lifecycle testing. Over a couple of months, each weighbridge design is tested to a minimum of one million cycles - or 20 years of heavy use. This testing helps guarantee the best quality and longest scale life.

Orthotropic Design
Model 7563 easily handles the forces generated by normal truck traffic, distributing concentrated loads more effectively than standard I-beam deck structures. The robust orthotropic design is similar to the one used on the Golden Gate Bridge and many other highway bridges around the world.
Lightning Protection
The specially designed StrikeShield™ lightning protection system helps prevent costly downtime by using multiple levels of protection to safeguard your entire scale system: load cells, cables, and terminal. It is the only system that has been tested by third-party laboratories and withstood multiple lightning strikes without failure.
