With continued supply chain issues and long lead times, are you prepared if your equipment were to break down
What’s your back up plan if your scale breaks down….
Advance Scale has several good, used truck scales in stock for quick delivery, Some scales are only two years old. We also have a selection of used scale houses in stock. All our used scales and scale houses are available for inspection. If you are looking for reliability and a great price.
Some surplus scales available.

Advance Scale offers both Rubber & Metal Tees for installation around truck scales. Tees help reduce debris build up causing weight issues from getting bound in the ends of the scale, causing errors in weighing.

Your scale’s Ingress Protection (IP) rating is key since it will tell you exactly what it will protect against. An IP rating is used to define the levels of sealing effectiveness against moisture, dirt and other foreign bodies on electrical enclosures. These ratings will specifically indicate how much resistance there is to water and water pressure, which makes scales with a higher IP rating ideal for washdown environments. They are available as bench, floor and retail scales.
When scales require frequent cleaning there is also a lot of handling of the scale itself. Regardless of what type of scale (floor scale in a pit, above ground, or axle weighing scales), all should be frequently maintained by going
through a thorough washdown and cleanout process, especially any scales that are weighing food. Maintaining hygiene and compliance is crucial to day-to-day efficiency when producing high quality products.
HOW MUCH YOUR SCALE CAN HANDLE
As many processes and technologies have evolved through the years, maintaining scales is no different. Servicing and cleaning floor scales the traditional way no longer works for creating an efficient and safe environment for technicians. The traditional method consisted of a thick piece of tread plate welded to structural channel that needed lifted to clean underneath, which was not an easy task. Before, a technician had to lift the scale every time to get a thorough cleaning. In fact, the technician would many times need a crane to lift the entire scale out of the pit. This is also a safety concern because the technician would have to clean under the scale while it was hanging above. If the load weighments consisted of food products, the technician would have to clean and sanitize on a regular schedule meaning this process would need to be completed as regularly as once a month.
If you’ve ever pulled up to a weigh station with a poor truck scale intercom system you know how frustrating it can be to communicate with the weighmaster. We provide a noise canceling intercom system to produce better clarity of communication from the truck driver to the weighmaster.
Problem Solved
There are two problems to be solved for a truck scale intercom system:
1. The trucks are very loud and scale operators can’t understand the drivers.
2. The truck scale intercom needs lots of volume to overcome engine noise.
It’s easy enough to amplify sound so the driver can hear, but the hard part is the scale operator side. Two technologies are required to make this work well: Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). Acoustic Echo Cancellation is required for full duplex and is used to cancel feedback (squealing noise) on the truck scale intercom. Acoustic Echo Cancellation is required for full duplex and is used to cancel feedback (squealing noise) on the truck scale intercom. The higher the volume, the harder AEC has to work. It takes expensive processing power and complex, patented software algorithms to make this happen. Now add noise cancellation and it takes even more processing power. Lower cost systems don’t work well because they can’t use the quality components and engineering needed to give you both volume and understandable conversation.

World Trade Center Enhanced Security with AX900TM Axle ScalesÂ
The World Trade Center (WTC) campus in New York City has a comprehensive vehicle security perimeter for vehicle screening. To protect the infrastructure and buildings onsite and in the surrounding areas, vehicle weighing capabilities at entry points are necessary to screen vehicles for overweight irregularities that could indicate the presence of dangerous material on board.Â
Having vehicle weight data is an important part of the enhanced security systems in operation for One WTC and the entire WTC campus. -PANYNJÂ
Infrastructure firm AECOM selected Intercomp to supply vehicle scales due to their experience manufacturing scales for transportation, security, and enforcement purposes. Partnered with Advance Scale of NJ for installation and calibration, the installations took under two weeks, satisfying demanding WTC work restrictions. The in-ground AX900TM scales can stand up to harsh year-round environments experienced in New York City.Â
To detect and monitor weights for security purposes, three separate entry points incorporate four Intercomp platform scales per lane in areas between the safety barriers. Six lanes from Washington Street, West Broadway, and Trinity Place secure access to the WTC campus, screening passenger vehicles, tourist buses, and delivery trucks. Monitoring software displays the weights of axles, axle groups, and Gross Vehicle Weights (GVW) for security operators to view inside an adjacent control room.Â
NTEP certified with an accuracy of ±0.1%, the AX900TM Axle Scales utilize hermetically-sealed, shear beam load cells to precisely weigh vehicles for axle and GVW. The scales are used by some states for legal commercial vehicle weight enforcement efforts, border security, and by commercial organizations weighing inbound and outbound vehicles for inventory control and facility security at fixed sites. Capable of being transported and deployed to different locations, or mounted in frames installed in the pavement (as done at the WTC), the AX900TM scales provide proven accuracy for a variety of applications.Â
Intercomp is proud to have its scales as part of the security systems in place for protecting the World Trade Center campus in New York City.Â

The entrances to the WTC complex incorporate AX900TM scales for determining vehicle weights.Â
The AX900TM Axle Scales are installed in frames and available for 24/7 weight monitoring at multiple sites.Â
Each lane reports vehicle weights for security personnel to monitor for dangerous goods.Â
Truck Scale Kiosks are a Solution for Social Distancing due to COVID-19.
Advance Scale can help you successfully create social distancing by installing a ticketing kiosk for your truck scale. With this method, you can avoid contact between the weighmaster and driver, as there is no passing of paperwork or social interaction.
All of our kiosks can be integrated into existing truck scales and software and print legal scale tickets that meet government requirements for the Department of Weights and Measures. Advance Scale also provides optional intercom systems for the customer and weighmaster communication.
If you are in need of a scale service or Install, please know that we will require the following:
Trash Trailer loading in loadout pit
Existing pit scale was difficult to keep clean, which caused weighing errors and frequent breakdowns
Replace the existing scale with an Emery Winslow Hydrostatic Quick Clean model. The Quick Clean is designed with removable deck panels, which allows the user to easily clean the scale pit.
Hydrostatic load cells offer protection against damage due to water, lightning & surge voltage.
