Avery Weigh-Tronix Industrial
Family of Motor Truck Scales



Worldwide Leader and Technology Innovator  
Avery Weigh-Tronix is a technology developer and manufacturer of weighing products and systems for customers with rapidly changing needs. From the invention of the first truck scale in 1876 in England to the introduction of the Weigh Bar® weight sensor and the early use of the microprocessor as a key component of weighing instrumentation, the company has been a leader in the development of technological solutions for customer requirements. The patented Weigh Bar is 3X mechanically stronger and lasts 10X to 15X longer than competitive load cells. See the Weigh Bar Brochure and Weigh Bar White Paper for more details. They undergo a 5-part sealing process that allows them to survive water submersion and even a documented case of submersion by hot roofing flux (tar). The Avery Weigh-Tronix Industrial line of Motor Truck Scales is the strongest available and has the best warranty. No expensive or exclusive service contracts are required. You can have your favorite scale company service these scales. Avery Weigh-Tronix does not promote exclusive technology that forces you to use only their products and service. Industry standard Instrumentation and Accessories work with the Avery Weigh-Tronix Industrial line of Motor Truck Scales.

Beware of claims for concrete decks!

Competitive concrete deck failure
Competitive concrete deck failure

Notice all the cracking around the load cell pockets. These Brand Y concrete platforms failed within 2 years of installation and were replaced by an Avery Weigh-Tronix Motor Truck Scale in a two-week fast track installation. Avery Weigh-Tronix uses superior FEA (Finite Element Analysis) design standards that provide superior results - No deck cracking! See why below.


Concrete Deck Design
                      Comparison

The strength of concrete is in compression. It is weak in tension.



Competitive concrete deck designs place their concrete in both tension and compression. Therefore, they fail prematurely. This can have a serious impact on your pocketbook and your operations. How long can you afford to be down while your scale platform, that failed prematurely, is replaced? Why should you have to pay for two or three scale platforms over the expected life of the one scale?
Avery Weigh-Tronix places their concrete above the neutal axis of the scale platform where it is used in compression. Tension occurs in the steel structure beneath the neutral axis. Avery Weigh-Tronix simply designs a better concrete deck Motor Truck Scale -
one that is designed to last!
