Rice Lake SURVIVOR® OTR Steel Deck Truck Scale

The Rice Lake SURVIVOR OTR steel deck truck scale is designed to simplify maintenance installation and reduce downtime during weighments. Able to last a generation or more, the steel deck design allows fast installation, easy relocation or expansion, lower profiles and variable deck plates. All cables are completely enclosed in conduit to eliminate pest damage.

Reliable Steel Deck Design

The SURVIVOR truck scale design uses multiple longitudinal beams for safety and support. This ensures structural stress remains below fatigue limits during deflection and supports vehicles across the entire deck. With only a top plate on the weighbridge, the open bottom eliminates a cavity for condensation to collect. The boltless, top access to load cells and junction box simplifies maintenance and inspections. The G-Force™ self-checking mounting system prolongs scale life by allowing the scale to return to the center after a forceful movement without using check rods or bumper bolts.

Competitor Designs

Most other manufacturers use fewer I-beams or bent-channel beams to reduce the initial scale cost. However, these designs reduce structural integrity, causing greater deflection—shortening the lifespan of the weighbridge. Additionally, some designs require top and bottom deck plates, trapping corrosion-causing moisture inside the weighbridge.
