TOP 10 REASONS TO BUY A CARDINAL TRUCK SCALE

Reduce Risk With Single Source Manufacturing:
When you purchase a truck scale it is important to consider availability and warranty concerning ALL the product’s components. Cardinal Scale produces and warranties every component in the scale including the load cells, electronic junction boxes and the weight instrument. All of this gives you, the buyer, the minimum risk in a long term investment

Stainless Steel Load Cells:
The most significant component of a truck scale is the load cell. Cardinal Scale boasts the most advanced load cell production facility in the United States. Our load cells are individually tested to meet and exceed design parameters and are 100% stainless steel and are hermetically sealed to insure that your scale performs well even in the harshest environment.

Superior Bridge Design:
Cardinal Scale utilizes a robot welding system to insure continuity of all welding and fabrication. With 55 years of high capacity scale experience, Cardinal truck scales are well known for having many years of reliable operation.

Exterior Scale Protection:
All of the steel utilized in our scales is shot blasted and then painted with a baked-on, two-part Sherwin Williams Epo­lon II epoxy. This is unmatched for total environmental protection.

Weight Indicators:
Cardinal Scale produces a complete range of weight indicators designed to meet any operational sequence you re­quire for your business. Many of these instruments are designed with NEMA 4X enclosures for added protection in the harsh environments truck scales operate in. Cardinal’s wireless truck scales can even eliminate costly construction work on your site, eliminating the need to run cumbersome lines and dig trenches across the facility.

Stainless Steel Electronics Boxes:
Cardinal Scale adds value where you least expect it. Our electronic junction boxes are of stainless steel design, NEMA 4X protection to prevent any outside weather affecting the way your scale performs.

Automated Systems Design:
Whether you require unattended operation, special materials tracking, multiple scales for in and out weighing, or bar code scanners, Cardinal Scale can customize our products to work exactly like you need them. We won’t change the way you do things, we will make what you do more efficient.

Premium Security Of Operation:
The Cardinal iCan fiber optic load cell system can provide you with added service support when you need it most and further protect you from unnecessary down time. The iCan system is designed to alert you of errors in the weighing components. The fiber optic cabling provides further protection against voltage surges and lightning strikes. Addition­ally, Cardinal offers iSite, a remote diagnostic software for the monitoring of your scale from anywhere in the world via a simple internet connection. Reduce your risk with Cardinal’s iCan.

5 Year Bridge-And-Below Warranty:
To insure that you make the best buying decision with Cardinal, we proudly boast a 5 year warranty from manufacturer defects of the weigh bridge and electronic components under the scale.
