Available in a range of sizes and capacities
The BMS SD has many sizes and capacities to choose from, making it a cost effective choice for many applications. The truck scale arrives on site fully assembled and features a low 14” profile, to save space and cost by using a shorter approach area.
Galvanized truck scales for added durability
This steel deck truck scale can be galvanized for total corrosion resistance and maximum surface durability. The entire module of the truck scale is hot dipped in molten zinc so that all surfaces are coated, inside and out, making the scale highly corrosion resistant and greatly extending its life expectancy in corrosive applications.
Industry leading warranty
All Avery Weigh-Tronix truck scales come backed by industry leading warranty options to ensure a low cost-of-ownership.
Multi-platform axle weighers
These truck scales are also available as a multi-platform system, providing accurate axle weighing plus a legal-for-trade gross weight in a single action.
Truck scales that are configured for one-stop axle weighing combine multiple independent scales in a common foundation and are designed to accommodate the vehicle’s axle spacing.
Rugged, reliable weighing
Our vehicle scales utilize the Weigh Bar; an extremely rugged, highly reliable, load sensing device that is designed to overcome the shortcomings of many competitor load cells. The unique, patented design provides inherent strength and overload protection, while also providing accuracy and high reliability.
ZM305 Indicator
The ZM305 Series Indicator with truck scale In/Out software application simpli es vehicle weighing. Track up to 250 different open transactions and
store up to 1,000 completed transactions. You can also store up to 500 tare weights. Other instruments are available with a wide range of features and functionality.
Gross Capacity
With a capacity of 40 to 135 tons, this scale can handle a wide range of trucks and con gurations.
Platform Lengths
Platform lengths from 10' to 120'; assuring each customer the right size for the application.
Platform Widths
Standard widths of 10' and 11' to t a range of applications and existing foundations.
Concentrated Load Capacity (CLC)
At 35 tons, the BMS-SD Truck Scale is comparable to other product costing thousands more.
"r" Factor
With an "r" Factor of 2.06, the BMS-SD can handle more than twice the legal highway load limit of 34,000 lb.
Module Size
At 10’, 12’, 20’, and 23.5’’; the BMS-SD uses fewer load sensors, only 8 on a typical 70' scale, compared to 10 or more on competitive
models.
Weighbridge Thickness
At only 10.375" thick, BMS-SD Truck Scale provides a lower pro le, compact, and structurally superior design.
Elevation
Pro le At 14”, the compact, e cient design of the BMS-HD minimizes approach and exit requirements, yet provides the user total
con dence in integrity of the weighbridge. Additional under clearance is easily achieved with convenient base plate risers.
Full Electronic Design
Avery Weigh-Tronix has consistently been a leader in utilizing state of the art technology in virtually every aspect of their truck
scale product range.
Factory Assembled
Minimizes installation time and costs. Insures consistent product quality.
Weighbridge Design
An outstanding weighbridge design that includes a sandwich steel deck with 100% welding throughout the structure. The
second bene t of the sandwich design is it seals the deck structure from the elements which can reduce the life of the scale.
Corrosion Protection
All steel surfaces are commercial blast cleaned to SSPC 6 industry standards. A high performance, high solids, two
component urethane primer is applied, followed by a nal coat of high quality, heavy-duty polyurethane.
Module Installation
The absence of grout plates and the drilled in place anchor bolts mean simple, low cost installation.
Weigh Bars®
Capacity of 75,000 lb for each sensor, with 200% overload safety factor and unmatched reliability.
Weigh Bar Performance
Impervious to end, side, and torque loading conditions that can destroy conventional load cells.
Weigh Bar Design
Produced from high quality aircraft alloy steel bar stock that has been heat treated, quenched, and tempered to resist corrosion.
Also provides better repeatability and less hysteresis than stainless steel.
Weigh Bar Reliability
Failure rate of only 0.31% compared with a national average of 3 to 5% on conventional load cells.
Weigh Bar Protection
Extremely resistant to surge voltage or lightning related problems. Strain gauges are scienti cally sealed against moisture or
corrosive elements.
Weigh Bar Cabling
Stainless steel jacketed cables in factory installed conduit runs.
Easi-Post Self-Checking
Rugged Easi-Post™ suspension with self-checking design absorbs shocks and vibration from sudden starting and stopping of
vehicles on scale. All components are made with hardened, stainless steel material for outstanding strength, durability, and
corrosion protection. No check rods or bumper plates required.
NEMA 4X Stainless Steel Junction Box
Compact, all stainless steel junction and summation boxes, with connector-less cables for elimination of moisture or
condensation related problems. Includes Gore breather vent to equalize pressure inside and outside the box.
