Basically a cash register for commercial operations in the sense that money is exchanged based on weight, truck scales are invaluable for weighing commercial vehicles and containers. When you’re in the market to purchase and install a truck scale for your operation, there are a number of different accessories that can really help your business to increase efficiency, speed and overall safety.
Check out the list below of very useful Active Scale accessories that can help to increase your return on investment when it comes to buying a truck scale.
1. Weight Indicators
When it comes to purchasing a truck scale, digital weight indicators are an essential accessory for viewing the weight value of commercial vehicles.
While display functions are important, Active Scale’s truck scale indicators can do so much more. We offer a range of scale indicators with basic to complex functions including displaying weights to process control and wireless transmission.
These powerful weight indicators help to save time and accelerate vehicle weighing, while carefully organizing critical weighing information. Pair your scale with a weight indicator from Active Scale to complete your weighing system.
2. Secondary Displays
Secondary displays, sometimes called remote displays, make viewing the weighing information much easier from a distance. Larger displays save time and effort for vehicle operators as they allow them to not have to leave their vehicle during the weighing process to view the weight being displayed.
Active Scale supplies a secondary display to complement any scale or application from commercial to industrial. Make the weighing process quicker and potentially safer for drivers by reducing time outside the truck during the weighing process with a remote display.
3. Ticket Printers
A great tool for scales that operate in all of mother nature’s weather moods, ticket printers allow users to printout directly at the truck scale itself.
Some Active Scale ticket printers easily loads paper, prevents paper jams, and features an easily-accessible cabinet allowing the truck driver to simply reach down from their truck to retrieve their ticket.
4. Guide Rails
Guide rails are a great preventative option for commercial vehicle safety when you purchase a commercial truck scale.
Active Scale’s guide rails are meant to direct vehicle traffic and prevent drive-offs on elevated platforms. Many of Active Scale’s rugged guide rails are bolted on so they will break away after being ran into or struck to prevent hardware deformation.
5. Unattended Vehicle Scale Weighing
Active Scale’s unattended weighing kiosk offers a genius solution for efficiency and data integration when it comes to unmanned truck scales.
With some instrumentations designed with a weather-proof enclosure, internal heater, thermal printer, and a rain hood, an unmanned weighing terminal performs great in all weather conditions. Additionally, an RFID card reader, credit card collector, and money bill collector can be added for convenience.
All of these aspects allow the driver to save time and remain in their vehicle while waiting for the weighing process to be completed. For scales that don’t have a dedicated operator, Active Scale can provide the instrumentation to aide in unattended vehicle scale operation.
No matter what type of weigh scale system you have in place, Active Scale has a wide range of scale accessories to fit any need and make your weigh scale operation complete. Contact us today toll-free at 1-866-284-2223.
