The new, 5,000 lb VLX shipping dock floor scale uses a unibody tread plate scale deck with laser-cut and precision bent and welded corners. This creates a 3-dimensional box-top design that protects the load cells, suspension system and cabling. Its steel channel beams minimize the potential for deck “dishing,” a common problem with shipping dock floor scales. The channel beams maintain deck stability and prevent warping. Mettler Toledo Inc.
