Portable platform scales are an affordable way to weigh truck axles, single or tandem, for farms, grain handling, construction and more. You get accurate axle weights without a permanent truck scale. Use two platforms for straight trucks or three for semis to get the full vehicle weight.
Features
- Accuracy: 99.5% in recessed or permanent setups, 99% in portable mode.
- Easy to read: the digital readout, such as the Model 660 indicator, sits where the driver can see it from the seat, readable up to ~30 ft away.
- Power: standard 12V DC or 110V AC, with a 17-ft cable (extra cable available).
- Mobile setup: set on firm, level ground. Optional removable wheels, hitch and ramps make it easy to move.
- Data logging: the Model 660 or Libra IoT Device accumulates axle weights, totals, time, date, ID and gross/tare/net in one measurement.
- Customizable: platforms built to specific sizes and capacities.
