2 ATV Portable Truck Scale Assembly Instructions
1.2 Installation Overview
The modular sections of the ATV truck scale are shipped pre-assembled and ready to be placed on a flat surface
using a crane. The self-contained modules are positioned on a prepared and level site. The weighbridge is lowered
onto the load cells by retracting the shipping stands.
The indicator is connected to one of the two junction boxes (J-boxes). That J-box is then connected to the other
J-box via an expansion cable.
You can then back fill material to bulkheads and calibrate to finish the installation.
General Assembly Order
1. Based on location of the indicator, place the first self-contained module into position on level compacted
ground or other flat surface. Asphalt is not recommended.
Note
Be sure to arrange module with the j-box positioned toward the indicator.
2. Install spacer tubes and set the other self-contained module.
3. Place center (bridge module) between end modules.
4. Retract shipping stands.
5. Back fill material.
6. Connect to indicator and calibrate.

1.2.1 Assembly Time Estimates
When scheduling installation for a typical three-module, 70' truck scale, plan for a two-hour minimum crane rental
to place the modules into position. A two-man crew, aided by a crane operator, can unload modules from the truck
and place them into position in approximately one hour.*
Retracting shipping stands and backfilling material can be done in approximately 1–2 hours.* Load cells in
self-contained modules are pre-wired to the J-box at the factory. Connect expansion and/or home run cable to
complete wiring in approximately 1/2 hour (these estimated times may vary).
1.2.2 Recommended Equipment and Tools
• Crane – maximum module weight is approximately 12,500 lbs.*
• Four chains or cables (8' minimum length each) with hooks
• One low-profile 4-ton bottle jack
• 5/16" allen wrench
• Hammers, maul, pry bar
• Socket wrenches to 1-1/2" (drive compatible with torque wrench)
• Box end wrenches to 1-1/4"
• Open end wrench set (7/16" to 1-1/4")
• 4' bubble level
• Hand tools for pulling and connecting electrical wiring
* Typical self-contained module weight of 70' x 11', three module scale.
