Unlike most competitors' scales, the Modu-Deck™ contains NO proprietary technology or components, which trap you into one source, and highest cost for parts and labor. With the Modu-Deck™ you have the freedom to choose any competitive, qualified, service organization to provide parts and labor for calibration and maintenance during the entire life of the scale. The Modu-Deck™ is available in a portable model. It can be set up for permanent or year-round use. For temporary installations the Modu-Deck™ portable vehicle scale can be set on pre-cast concrete slabs or wood timbers, ready to be moved from site to site, bringing the foundation with the scale. This cutaway view of the Modu-Deck™ weighbridge shows how the load cell and mount are totally encapsulated within the weighbridge. Most other modular design scales mount the load cells, cabling and summing boxes in a confined space between adjoining modules, creating a severe maintenance problem. Only Marginal protection is provided by a removable plate running the width of the scale. This space becomes a collecting place for mud, snow, ice and deck run-off, which often contains corrosive chemicals resulting in premature failure of the load cells, load cell mounts and summing network. The Modu-Deck™ encapsulated design virtually eliminates all of these problems by creating a protected clean area for the load cell and pier area below it. The Modu-Deck™ by Active Scale is available in steel deck or concrete deck versions, in a range of concentrated loading capacities. All of which are N.T.E.P. approved as well as type approved for use in trade in Canada. |
