Gross Capacity

With a capacity of 45 to 135 tons this scale can handle a wide range of trucks and con gurations.

Platform Lengths

Typical platform lengths are 15’ and 17.5’ nominal. Combine several platforms to reach up to 120’; assuring each customer the right size for the application.

Platform Widths

Standard widths of 10’ and 11’ to  fit a wide range of existing foundations

Concentrated Load Capacity (CLC)

At 45 tons, the BMS-LP8 Truck Scale is comparable to other product costing thousands more

"r" Factor

With an “r” Factor of 2.65, the BMS-LP8 can handle more than 2.5 times the legal highway axle load limit of 34,000 lb.

Module Size

At only 8.375” and using thirteen heavy-duty 8”wide flange beams, the BMS-LP8 Truck Scale provides a lower profile, compact, and structurally superior design.

Weighbridge Thickness

At only 10.375" thick, BMS-SD Truck Scale provides a lower pro le, compact, and structurally superior design.

Elevation Profile

At 11.25”, the compact, e cient design of the BMS-LP8 minimizes approach and exit requirements, yet provides the user total con dence in integrity of the weighbridge.

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 design that greatly increases the strength of the scale. The 8” beams are continuously welded to ¼” checkered deck plate and 3⁄16” bottom plate

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.
