Industrial manufacturing facilities and scrap yards operate in three dimensions. Floor space is often tight. Consequently, moving materials via overhead cranes keeps workflows efficient. However, lowering loads onto stationary floor scales repeatedly wastes valuable time. At Arlington Scale Company (ASC), we fix this bottleneck directly. We integrate custom overhead weighing solutions into your existing crane setup.
To achieve this, we utilize rugged components from Rice Lake Weighing Systems. ASC configures crane scales into legal-for-trade weighing stations. As a result, these heavy-duty systems protect product margins. Additionally, they improve safety and minimize equipment downtime.
Severe-Duty Engineering for Crane Applications
Overhead material handling environments are notoriously harsh. Extreme heat and shock loads easily ruin standard electronics. Therefore, our crane scales are built specifically for industrial stress.
- High-Capacity MSI-3460 Challenger: First, this versatile scale balances safety and accuracy. It features a rugged, IP65-rated aluminum enclosure. Furthermore, it includes a clear digital display.
- Heavy-Duty MSI-4260 Port-A-Weigh: Moreover, this scale handles heavy loads up to 100,000 pounds. It uses marine-alloy housing to seal out dust and moisture.
- Extreme Safety Ratings: In addition, these systems feature a 500% ultimate safety factor. They also offer a 200% safe overload rating. Ultimately, this design reduces structural failure risks.
- Cast Foundry Heat Shields: Finally, ASC installs custom thermal insulation for high-heat applications. This shielding protects load cells up to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
Advanced Wireless Telemetry and Cabin Displays
Reading a scale display 30 feet high is dangerous. For this reason, ASC integrates wireless networks to send weight data down safely.
- MSI-8000 RF Remote Display: First, this controller communicates wirelessly with the scale master unit. Thus, operators manage tare and zero functions from a safe distance.
- Rugged MSI-8004HD Indicator: Next, this display is encased in a heavy-duty enclosure. Its bright LED digits remain visible even in direct sunlight.
- Virtual Data Integration: Alternatively, we configure wireless transceivers to stream weight metrics directly. Data flows smoothly to warehouse software, tablets, or forklift computers. Consequently, this cuts paperwork errors.
The ASC Advantage: Turnkey Testing and 24/7 Field Support
An overhead scale is critical safety equipment. Because a broken scale stalls logistics, you need a local partner who responds fast.
- Turnkey Rigging and Installation: First, our technicians handle the physical setup. We align all shackles, hooks, and load sensors safely.
- Scale Calibration NJ: Second, we use certified test weights for accurate calibration. Therefore, our service meets strict NIST legal-for-trade standards.
- 24/7 Emergency Dispatch: Finally, unexpected component issues happen. However, our stocked service vehicles deploy immediately to keep your cranes moving safely.
