In busy warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics terminals, floor scales endure relentless daily abuse. Material handling teams drop heavy steel pallets, run over platform edges with pallet jacks, and load dense machinery continuously. Standard commercial scales often bow, lose calibration, or suffer internal load cell failure under these harsh conditions. At Arlington Scale Company (ASC), we solve these equipment issues by installing heavy-duty floor scale platforms engineered to handle severe industrial environments.
We deliver complete weighing setups utilizing Rice Lake Floor Scales, including the industry-standard RoughDeck series. These legal-for-trade floor scale systems handle heavy daily impacts while maintaining strict measurement accuracy. ASC manages the complete procurement, custom pit or surface installation, legal-for-trade calibration, and ongoing field service across the region.
Severe-Duty Engineering: Built to Endure Real-World Impacts
A reliable floor scale must survive severe side impacts, sudden shock drops, and heavy off-center loading. Rice Lake RoughDeck floor scales are engineered with structural features that prevent frame flexing and internal component damage.
- Heavy Structural Steel Framework: First, the scale deck features a rigid structural channel frame welded beneath a thick diamond-tread top plate. This design prevents deck warping under heavy forklift tires or concentrated pallet loads.
- Tough-Shock Mount Protection: Second, the platform utilizes patented ToughShock load cell mounts. These free-floating mounts absorb severe side-load impacts and thermal expansion, shielding delicate internal sensors from structural shock.
- Low-Profile and Barrel-Scale Options: Additionally, we offer low-profile models like the RoughDeck BDP, designed for easy hand-pallet jack loading. Pit-frame configurations sit completely flush with the surrounding concrete floor to maximize usable warehouse room.
- Stainless Steel Washdown Models: Finally, for food processing, chemical, and pharmaceutical facilities, we provide stainless steel, IP69K-rated washdown platforms built to withstand harsh chemical sanitizers and high-pressure spray-downs.
Digital Indicator Integration and Data Networking
Accurate weight measurements are only useful if your management team can process and store the data quickly. Because of this, ASC pairs RoughDeck floor scale bases with advanced Rice Lake digital weight indicators to automate your shop-floor inventory workflows.
- Clear Digital Displays: Column-mounted or wall-mounted digital indicators show gross, net, and tare weights clearly, preventing operator reading mistakes during busy production shifts.
- Automated Data Integration: Digital indicators connect directly to warehouse management software, label printers, and inventory networks via Ethernet, USB, RS-232, or Wi-Fi interfaces.
- Legal-for-Trade NTEP Certification: Every industrial floor scale in this lineup carries NTEP Class III approval, giving you total confidence during commercial transactions or shipping billings.
