In the high-stakes world of international customs, freight forwarding, and intermodal logistics, bottlenecked freight costs massive amounts of money. Stopping operations to transport pallets to a stationary floor scale delays cross-docking, slows down customs clearance, and burns tight margins. To resolve these delays, Arlington Scale Company (ASC) builds, delivers, and services custom onboard weighing solutions engineered specifically for fast-paced logistics customs environments.
By utilizing rugged industry-leading technology such as the Rice Lake CLS NextGen Forklift Scale, ASC converts your existing material handling fleet into dynamic, mobile weigh stations. Furthermore, we recognize that in logistics, an offline forklift means stopped freight. Therefore, we provide specialized custom configurations and emergency scale services with an ultra-fast under 12-hour turnaround time across the NJ/NY metro area.
Heavy Industrial Engineering for Demanding Customs Hubs
Customs clearance areas and busy freight docks require equipment that stands up to continuous multi-shift operations. Standard warehouse attachments simply cannot endure the constant impact. Consequently, the Rice Lake CLS NextGen series is engineered to provide repeatable legal-for-trade accuracy under intense stress.
- Reinforced Steel Construction: The scale features 1.5-inch thick steel front and rear plates, combined with pinned, bolted, and welded top cleats.
- Advanced Impact Deflection: Built-in overload and underload stops protect internal S-beam load cells from sudden lateral shifting and uneven pallet drops.
- Versatile Carriage Configurations: ASC configures custom scales to fit Class II, Class III, or non-standard forklift carriages to ensure seamless integration with your existing fleet.
- OSHA Compliance Engineering: During our quick installation, our team provides the proper capacity de-rating metrics required by OSHA to keep your terminal fully compliant.
Advanced Cabin Integration & Real-Time Data Transfer
Modern logistics customs demand accurate digital documentation. Because of this, our customized onboard systems feature sophisticated weight indicators that send tracking information straight to your inventory system.
- CLS-680 Forklift Scale Display: This compact display mounts directly inside the operator’s cabin using a flexible RAM® mount. It is encased in a machined aluminum anodized enclosure featuring heavy-duty vibration protection and built-in surge suppression.
- Wireless Battery Options: To eliminate high-wear coiled cables entirely, choose a cableless configuration powered by an on-scale Lithium-Ion battery pack. This wireless setup delivers 24 hours of continuous operational use.
- Virtual Software Integration: Systems utilizing VIRTUi³ software replicate indicator functions. This broadcasts real-time legal-for-trade weight data directly to an operator’s existing warehouse PC or rugged tablet via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
The ASC Promise: Under 12-Hour Custom Turnaround
A damaged scale platform can stop international cargo shipments, leading to expensive missed deadlines and terminal fees. Therefore, Arlington Scale Company supports your customs operations with a rapid-response service guarantee.
- Rapid Custom Fitting: Our technicians can modify, adapt, and mount custom carriage assemblies in under 12 hours to get down machines back in service.
- On-Site Scale Calibration NJ: We deploy fully stocked utility vans immediately to perform precision calibrations using certified test weights. This ensures your scales maintain NTEP legal-for-trade certification without interrupting freight flow.
- 24/7 Emergency Dispatch: If a component fails during a late-night freight push, our local field service team responds immediately to eliminate the high cost of equipment downtime.
