At Central Illinois Scale Co., we recognize the impact every pound can have on a truck’s total weight. We are proud to distribute 80,000-pound heavy capacity testing.
Nearly all trucks that weigh over 10,000 pounds are required to stop at a weigh station. Failure to do so can result in overweight trucks on highways that may not be able to handle heavy load. Such highways can be damaged beyond repair. At that point, it may be too late, as the truck driver could injure others on the road.
Another important aspect of truck weight lies within how states can collect taxes on transported goods. Accurate weight is a necessity to proficiently calculate how many goods a truck is carrying across the country. With an inaccurate scale, the government could lose money. At that point, incorrect or inaccurate scaling can cost the truck driver’s job.
The maximum weight any kind of truck can carry is 80,000 pounds. At Central Scale Illinois Co., we can meet your large weight needs, as our largest truck scale can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. We understand the impact that even a slight miscalculation can have on the public, on taxes, and on highways, which is why we practice accuracy and efficiency with each scale we design and distribute.
