Fully electronic, the portable Rice Lake SURVIVOR® ATV vehicle scale is designed for heavy-duty weighing in virtually any location a permanent installation isn’t practical. The patented G-Force™ mounting system’s self-checking design controls loading forces, allowing faster processing and extending component life. Versatile and cost-effective, the ATV’s self-contained live modules and floating center modules make it easy to add or remove sections to fit your application requirements.

The Rice Lake Weighing Systems ATV Heavy-Duty Top Access Portable Truck Scale features top access to load cells, self-seating hinge connectors, and dedicated transient protection components in each J-box greatly simplifying installation and routine maintenance. The ATV also incorporates an exclusive lock-out system that removes all weight from the load cells, suspending the deck free of links to avoid damage to electronics while transporting the scale.

The ATV-SR Super Duty Siderail Portable is ideal for weighing tri- and quad-axle dump trucks in pits and quarries. The siderail design features side access to load cells and electronics. Standard bulkheads are heavily braced for high-compression backfilling with gravel or aggregate. In semi-permanent applications, choose from optional steel ramps or bulkheads for concrete approaches. A five-year weighbridge guarantee ensures long-lasting performance.

People…that’s what makes us tick.

Normally, we write about scales or balances in these blog entries, but today I thought we’d mention why Central Carolina Scale continues to be a wonderful scale sales and service company located in central North Carolina.

We read a lot today about the importance of branding, positioning, sales, profit/loss and other business jargon, but we also know that having quality people (aka…employees) is the most important thing we can have. With quality personnel, the sky is the limit. Creativity, positive attitude, enthusiasm, and of course — hard work. These are but a few of the many qualities that having good people brings to our organization. After all, if employees don’t have a clear understanding of ‘who’ they are working for and ‘why’, it’s hard to expect enthusiasm for going beyond the expected, or thinking outside the box. This entry is dedicated to the continued success for all of us.
