Concrete Deck, Surface or Pit Mounted, Weighbridge

Scrap yards, trash dumps, chemical distribution centers and quarries are all ideal environments for concrete decks due to their likelihood of causing rust.

It is also suited for climates where road salt is frequently used because of the corrosive effects of the salt. Concrete deck truck scales can be more attractive in small plots when mounted in a pit, as it allows the weighing surface to be completely level with the ground. This in turn also enables the vehicles to vertically pass over the platform as to its longitudinal axis.

Concrete decks yield a more reliable surface texture when used in slippery or snowy conditions. Concrete decks also distribute weight better, which gives them an advantage in high-traffic applications. On average they require less maintenance during their lifetime and last longer than a Steel Deck Truck Scale.

They do have their drawbacks, however, as Concrete Deck Truck Scales require an initial curing period as well as some additional finishing work, all of which are omitted for a Steel Deck Scale. Their mass is greater than that of a steel deck, which will make the relocation of the deck arduous if performed at a later date.
