Fairbanks 6020 Series Titan Motor Truck Scale - Manual (Page 5)

The Titan Modular Steel Deck truck scales are available in various lengths from 27 to 105
feet, and widths from 10 to 14 feet. The scale is made up of modules of 27, 30, and 35 feet
in length. All modules are assembled and welded at the factory.
• The scale should be located so that vehicles can approach and exit the scale as
easily as possible.
• The platform should be visible from the instrument location.
• Drainage of surface water must be such that water does not collect under the scale.
• Smooth and level approaches are required at each end of the platform to reduce
loading shock and facilitate testing of the scale.
• Approaches must conform to the requirements of the law in the state in which the
scale is being installed. In the absence of such laws, the approaches must conform
to paragraph UR.2.6 National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 44,
which states that the first 10 feet must be level and on the same plane as the scale
platform.
