In industries where precision and efficiency are everything, having a reliable truck scale is non-negotiable. But for many businesses, the thought of installing a new scale conjures up visions of weeks-long delays, disrupted workflows, and mounting costs. What if you could get your new scale up and running in just 12 hours, with minimal downtime and at the best cost?
At Arlington Scale Company, we’ve reimagined what’s possible when it comes to truck scale installations—bringing speed, reliability, and full-service expertise to every project.

Why Reuse Existing Foundations?
One of the biggest barriers to fast scale installation is the foundation. Traditionally, new scales mean new concrete pads, excavation, and time-consuming curing processes. But in many cases, existing foundations are perfectly suitable—if you know how to work with them.
Our team specializes in assessing existing foundations for compatibility and then placing new scales directly onto them. This not only cuts installation time dramatically but also saves you significant costs in construction and materials.
The 12-Hour Turnaround
So, how do we achieve a full installation in under 12 hours? It comes down to:
- Preparation: We conduct a thorough pre-site assessment to plan every detail ahead of time.
- Precision Execution: Our installation team is highly trained to work efficiently without sacrificing quality or safety.
- Advanced Equipment: We use state-of-the-art tools and technology to streamline each step of the process.
To ensure full transparency, we document each phase with step-by-step, time-stamped photos, giving you a complete visual record of the work—from the moment we arrive to final calibration and certification.
More Than Just Installation
Arlington Scale Company isn’t just about getting your scale into place—we offer a complete solution that includes:
- Site evaluation and foundation inspection
- Scale delivery and expert placement
- Calibration and Legal for Trade certification
- Detailed documentation and after-installation support
Our full-service approach means you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors or worry about compliance issues down the line. We handle everything, giving you peace of mind and a scale that’s ready for immediate use.
