| RW-P Road Weigher Platform & Indicator |
Convenient vehicle weighing platform...
This rugged cast aluminum weighing plate is light enough to accommodate portability yet large enough for any type of vehicle. The bright orange industrial paint is baked on to the aluminum alloy chassis. CAS platforms not only look tough, they're built tough! With a variety of capacities & higher resolutions (1/2000 - 1/2500) the RW can be used in almost any application. Solid rubber ramps provide maximum grip and balance in even the most severe unleveled conditions. These rubber ramps also reduce the total weight of the product. The RW can even accommodate for virtually any vehicle's axel arrangement with the simple use of "Dummy Plates." Theses are simply solid rubber spacers of different sizes that can be placed between multiple platforms.
*These wheel weighing platforms are non-NTEP approved. If you'd like wheel weighers that are NTEP approved (legal for trade, try out RW Series of wheel weighers).
Police departments have to have NTEP approved scales. |

Police Departments & Municipalities
If you are a police department or agency of the state you will need the NTEP (legal for trade) version of the wheel weighers. One of many applications is for police officers pulling over potentially overloaded trucks. Four of these scales can be carried in a police cruiser and handled by one officer.
Overweight trucks are a hazard on the road because they alter the safety characteristics of trucks. Brakes rated for a safe stopping distance can not stop an overweight truck in a safe distance or time. Officers can identify a potentially overweight truck by its slow, belabored rate of acceleration after a traffic light stop, by extreme compression of the suspension system, bulges in the tires or by an officer's judgement call.
These wheel weigher systems pay for themselves by the tickets officers write which goes back to the municipality's revenue.
In Illinois 2005 during a police checkpoint, one of 15 trucks was taken off the road for safety violations and one driver was found to be driving on a suspended license. - Source:Lake Forester
