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!
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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!
