FT2 Installation Instructions.
1) Scale location will need to be laid out. Keeping in mind the scale length plus 10
foot level concrete approaches on each end. After the level approaches a sloped
approach will need to be installed. The sloped approach can be made of stone or
other compacted material. Check with local weights and measures for allowable
slope. Some states do not allow more than ¾” in per foot. Standard Steel deck
scales are 15” tall would require a minimum 20’ sloped approach. The standard for
concrete decks is 21” tall and would require 28’ sloped approach.
2) Form and pour the foundation according to the supplied prints.
3) Set the load cell stands into place do not anchor at this time. Concrete deck scales
use leveling bolts to adjust approximately 1” to be grouted later. Do not anchor
stands at this time. They will be drilled and set after weighbridges are set in place.
