The Survivor ® RT is manufactured on-site at Rice Lake Weighing Systems. All railroad track scale production is
conducted in-house under exacting quality control standards. Each railroad track scale is manufactured under the
precise guidelines outlined by ISO 9001 standards. All weighbridge components are sandblasted to SSPC-A-SP6
standards and cleaned to remove grease and oil contaminants. After assembly, all Survivor
® track scales are
painted with high solids urethane primer, as well as a finish coat of a high solids urethane paint that protects the
weighbridge’s structural integrity and ensures a long life. Non-visible steel surfaces receive an asphalt emulsion
coating to protect from internal moisture.
