For logistics terminals, manufacturing hubs, and scrap recycling centers across the tri-state area, a vehicle scale is far more than a simple piece of machinery. It functions as the primary cash register for your entire operation. Whether your business tracks gross, tare, or net weights for commerce, even a slight measurement drift can lead to massive revenue loss. At Arlington Scale Company (ASC), we provide heavy industrial truck scale systems engineered to secure your margins and eliminate the high cost of equipment downtime.
By partnering with top-tier manufacturers like Rice Lake Weighing Systems, ASC delivers “The Toughest Truck Scales on Earth®” directly to your facility gate. Our team manages everything from initial site consultation to turnkey installation and precision maintenance across New Jersey and New York.
Engineered for Longevity: The SURVIVOR® Advantage
Industrial vehicle scales must withstand brutal environments, continuous traffic, and unpredictable Northeast weather. Consequently, structural integrity matters. Rice Lake SURVIVOR truck scales are built using up to 25% more structural steel than competitive models. This design ensures that truck tires are continuously supported by heavy-duty longitudinal I-beams, preventing weighbridge fatigue.
- SURVIVOR OTR Steel Deck: This model works perfectly for high-volume facilities where fast installation is required or operational downtime is critical.
- SURVIVOR OTR Concrete Deck: This option resists rust and corrosion while yielding significantly better tire traction in wet, icy, or snowy winter conditions.
- Advanced G-Force™ Technology: The weighbridge utilizes self-centering mounting mechanics. This design uses gravitational force to absorb vehicle impact, protecting load cells from side-load shocks without expensive check rods or bumper bolts.
- Open-Bottom Protection: To shield the steel from premature decay, the structural frame features an open-bottom design. This allows optimal air circulation to prevent moisture buildup and rust.
Tailored Foundations to Match Your Site Footprint
A heavy-capacity scale is only as reliable as the concrete underneath it. Therefore, choosing the correct foundation design is a critical step in the procurement process. ASC analyzes your soil bearing pressure, drainage constraints, and traffic patterns to install the ideal configuration.
- Aboveground Foundations: Typically installed on a floating slab or deep piers, these setups offer easy access for routine maintenance and clear surface drainage.
- Pit Foundations: Ranging from shallow to deep pit styles, these configurations are perfect for tight locations where space is limited because they eliminate the need for long approach ramps.
- Multi-Platform Systems: Designed specifically for legal-for-trade axle weighing, these multi-module configurations capture gross and individual axle weights in a single stop.
Complete Terminal Automation and Peripheral Upgrades
To fully maximize your facility throughput, a truck scale requires sophisticated command hardware. ASC integrates customized peripheral accessories to automate your data tracking and protect your drivers.
- Advanced Indicators & Controllers: We install high-performance terminals capable of running automated truck in/out software.
- Unattended Ticketing Kiosks: This addition removes the need to handwrite tickets, accelerating traffic flow while eliminating manual human error.
- Safety Accessories: We integrate remote digital displays, traffic lights, barrier gates, and protective guiderails to keep your yard running safely.
