The Survivor truck scale is designed to provide you with years of service. It’s important to purchase a scale that is built tough and not full of short cuts.<\/p>\n

DOES THE TRUCK SCALE PROVIDE ULTRA LOAD CELL PROTECTION?<\/strong>
\nSURVIVOR truck scales are designed with the load cell pocket integrated into the steel structure of the scale. Rice Lake truck scales are some of the most reliable truck scales in the market today. The design of their Survivor truck scale is important and is a big part of why they enjoy one of the lowest load cell failure rates in the industry.<\/p>\n

DOES THE SCALE OFFER BREATHING ROOM BELOW THE PLATFORM?<\/strong>
\nSURVIVOR steel deck truck scales feature an open-bottom design, providing unrestricted airflow to eliminate rust-causing moisture buildup. Important feature since the scale is going to be providing you weights for many years of service.<\/p>\n

IS THE SCALE TOUGH, FROM START TO FINISH?<\/strong>
\nHigh-performance epoxy primer and specialized hard-coat alkyd enamel is applied to all visible steel surfaces for a car-like finish that protects the scale from the elements. Once again, this is important since your truck scale<\/a> is going to be out in the elements for many years.<\/p>\n

IS THE SCALE AVAILABLE IN CUSTOM SIZES?<\/strong>
\nSURVIVOR truck scales can be custom-built to fit almost any project specification and application requirement including installations on existing foundations or in unique locations with space limitations. One important thing to consider is the width of your truck scale. Many customers will choose a 10 foot wide scale bridge. This is ok but often for just a little more money, you can order a 11 foot wide scale and give your drivers a little extra room to maneuver across the scale.<\/p>\n
