Many older weighbridges can be made to accept new load cells with the use of new conversion
mounting hardware.
This can offer a great return on investment by eliminating frequent service calls or questionable
accuracy on an old scale.
However, there are some general criteria that an existing scale should meet to be considered an acceptable candidate for a load cell system upgrade:
Foundation - the scale foundation must be in good condition and structurally sound
Weighbridge deck - must be evaluated for signs of fatigue and corrosion
Accessibility - the existing scale must allow adequate physical access for technicians to remove old
components and install new ones where needed
If the above criteria are met, an upgrade is usually a simple solution.
We will use a conversion kit to retrofit your existing weighbridge. This means the old load cells or levers
will be removed from underneath and replaced with the latest technology load cells. These load cells
transmit signals for accurate, reliable weighing without the need of a junction box.
