Introduction

The RoughDeck

AX heavy capacity floor scale system includes two fully electronic, RoughDeck low profile floor

scales, four on/off ramps and two signal trim junction boxes. The RoughDeck scale is available in a size of 32 W x

84 L x 6 H ( 81.3 cm x 213.4 cm x 15.2 cm) and each has a capacity of 30,000 lbs (13,608 kg). Once combined

with the ramps, the total length is 204" (518.2 cm).
The RoughDeck AX uses four corner-mounted, FM-approved load cells, with the cells recessed into the frame

channels for protection. Also included is a signal-trim summing board enclosed in a stainless steel, NEMA 4X

junction box for any necessary corner corrections. The RoughDeck AX comes pre-trimmed; so corner corrections

should not be necessary.
Load cell cables are enclosed in conduit through the main channels, and held down with replaceable cable ties near

each corner, eliminating the possibility of cable damage in portable applications. Because of the possibility of foot

and load cell damage from forklift tines, the scale should always be lifted from above with chains through the

eyebolts when setting up the scale.
The adjustable carbon steel captured ball feet are used to assist with self centering the scale as vehicles drive on.
The four access ramps for the RoughDeck AX come equipped with a heavy duty treaded top plate.
