B-TEK Scales Fabricates Side-by-Side Truck Scale Solution

Alectronic Scales Inc., a distributor for B-TEK Scales LLC., has coordinated the sale and installation of a dual truck scale solution at a large steel service center in North America. According to a press release, because of Alectronic’s knowledge and experience working with Measurement Canada and their established relationship and proximity to the service center, the entire project was completed on time and without complication.

The end-user provides outsourced services to steel mills in North America. The company was seeking a scale that could weigh scrap metal via an 80-ton Terex off-road dump truck. The end user contracts their services to U.S. Steel Canada, a subsidiary of United States Steel Corp.

Alectronic worked to ensure that the specifications were met by working closely with B-TEK. A B-TEK “Big Bertha” scale was used: 60’ long by 16’ wide with a 400,000-lb capacity and a 150,000-lb CLC.

The scale consists of two side-by-side platforms each 60-foot long x 8-foot wide. The scale uses (16) 75K CPD-M Digital load cells and will be controlled by the D-800 Dialogik indicator.B-TEK Scales has over 95 combined years of scale experience to offer in support of your weighing equipment needs.
