Cardinal Industrial Truck Scales and Custom Weighing Systems

Cardinal EPR Truck Scale

The Ground Hugger - low-profile, all-steel motor truck scale

Cardinal's low profile EPR vehicle scale consists of modules fabricated to minimize height and maximize strength. Heavy-duty structural tubing is placed in strategic locations to support vehicle loading. Utilizing Cardinal's double-ended shear beam load cell, the EPR allows for unobstructed freedom in the weighbridge. Easy access to load cells and wiring from the sides make installation and maintenance a snap!

PRC TruckScale

The Cardinal PRC Series is a low-profile, full electronic truck scale. The high capacity PRC's rigid design prevents excessive movement, ensuring long lasting reliabiltiy and accuracy in high traffic installations. The PRC is available in concrete or steel decks, and optional digital load cells instead of the standard analog load cell.

Multi Axle Weighing

PRL Series

Cardinal's PRL Series heavy duty, self-contained mechanical truck scales are made for endurance and accuracy, while remaining completely self-contained. Tandem units are simply composed of two or more scales of the same or different platform lengths tandem-connected for greater capacity. When split, each unit is a self-contained scale in itself, offering 3-in-1 scale flexibility. The tandem connecting system is simple and patented. Scale sections bolt together quickly for installation or later lengthening of the scale.

The 5/16" full checkered steel deck plate is standard and keeps debris from falling into the scale mechanism. An optional wood deck is also available

Cardinal SRC

Simple pit installation permitted through the use of Cardinal load cells makes the Cardinal Electronic Pit Type Motor Truck Scale a very practical method of weighing any vehicle. The weighbridge is supported by heavy capacity load cells for quick and accurate weighing of the truck and its cargo.

760PS / PA Portable Electronic Axle Scale

Cardinal's completely portable, two-module axle load scale gives you the performance you need, where you need it and when you need it. A real lightweight (only 400 lbs per aluminum platform) that handles the heavyweights (60,000 lbs capacity). Each scale comes complete with either steel or aluminum ramps, NEMA 4 junction box, environmentally-protected stainless steel load cells, and four access ramps.

Cardinal SRL

Cardinal's SRL electro-mechanical pit type truck scale and ASRL axle load scale are designed for fixed installation in a concrete pit. The SRL heavy-duty welded steel truck scale is still considered the benchmark in truck scale concepts. Thousands of installations over the past 70 years are testimony to its superior quality and long-term accuracy. Since its introduction, Cardinal has continued to modernize and improve its design: only four main levers with one transverse lever on the four section scale and two main levers withone transverse lever on the two section scale.

Cardinal ASRL

The ASRL pit type axle load scales feature the same all-steel welded design to determine whether individual axle loads are within legal limits. These ruggedly-designed axle load scales are to be permanently installed in a concrete pit and utilize the unique features of Cardinal's truck scales, thus assuring a lifetime of dependable service beyond that which it will receive under the most severe usage.

Cardinal Guardian

Hydraulic loads cells are the most rugged and long-lasting weighing device available in the scale market. Cardinal’s extensive truck scale experience has culminated in developing The Guardian Hydraulic Truck Scale, the most dependable truck scale you can buy. Guardian Tank and Hopper systems also available.

Cardinal Weigh In Motion

Weighing-in-Motion (WIM) is, as the name implies, the process of weighing a vehicle as it is moving along the highway in an effort to estimate the equivalent static weight of the vehicle.

There are many factors that influence the weighing of moving vehicles that must be understood to accurately estimate the equivalent static weight - road smoothness, road curvature, traffic patterns, vehicle dynamics, sensor uniformity - to name a few. Site selection is critical for optimal system performance. Before selecting a WIM system, it is important for you to understand what it will be used for by asking some basic questions.

Weigh-In-Motion is a valuable tool for traffic monitoring professionals. Because of the many factors that influence the weighing process, however, weighing-in-motion is not certified for enforcement in the United States, but it is an effective and highly beneficial tool in the enforcement process or to expedite commercial vehicle operations (CVO).
