Uncompromising SURVIVOR® Strength
Concrete deck truck scales provide reliable traction in wet or icy weather conditions, and resist corrosion— extending the weighbridge’s lifespan. SURVIVOR OTR concrete deck truck scales have greater mass than steel deck scales, resulting in less friction and maintenance.
Reliable Concrete Deck Design
Concrete deck truck scales offer improved load distribution to withstand movements caused by heavy trucks entering and exiting the weighbridge.
The neutral axis on a truck scale is the point where no compression or tension occurs when a vehicle is on the weighbridge. In a concrete deck truck scale, this represents the point where concrete shifts from expected compression to damaging tension.
The six-inch-thick concrete deck of a SURVIVOR OTR sits above the weighbridge’s neutral axis. It is supported by a six-inch steel deck substructure incorporating galvanized steel sheets and I-beams, which increases strength throughout each module.
Competitor Designs
Many competitive weighbridges try to compensate for lighter steel or a lack of steel components by pouring a 9-, 10- or 12-inch concrete deck, often extending below the neutral axis. This can result in dangerous concrete bending, which can cause surface cracks after just a short period of use.
