degree of repeatability by minimizinghysteresis. The Weigh Bar has provento be the most dependable and longlasting electronic weight sensor inthe industry.
Structural integrity, thebiggest variable in costof ownershipWeigh-Tronix designers employed atechnology called Finite ElementAnalysis (FEA) to the design of theBridgeMont to substantially reduce thecost of the standard truck scale withoutsacrificing structural integrity.
The FEA technology permittedWeigh-Tronix engineers to createcomputer generated models of eachproposed design. They measuredcritical stress factors on virtually everycomponent of the scale.
BridgeMont designers askednew questions: How do youreduce the cost of truck scaleownership?As they began the development ofthe new BridgeMont truck scale, Weigh-Tronix designers recognized that theirstrength was building truck scales withlong service life. Now they needed toask, “How do we build the same qualityinto a scale for general use? How dowe provide the product that gives longyears of service without over building?What design choices do we make thatwill reduce the cost of truck scaleownership?” The BridgeMont design places the Weigh Bar weight
sensors in the scale's deck. This provides stabilityand level positioning for the weight sensors withoutthe need for difficult to install load cell stands andgrout plates.
For more than two decades Weigh-Tronix has built premium truck scales that have become theperformance benchmark for ruggedness and performance in heavy use applications. Now Weigh-Tronixhas introduced a new class of truck scale, the BridgeMont. It is a scale for the majority of users, thepeople who require a scale they can count on, day in and day out.

deck section than a competitive scaleof the same length. This results in athree-time savings. One less decksection saves the cost of load cells,cable and junction boxes. One lessdeck section speeds the installationprocess and simplifies calibration. Oneless deck eliminates one pier, loweringthe cost of the foundation.
In addition, each deck section arriveswith Weigh Bars already mounted in thedeck. The cables are hard wired to theWeigh Bars (No connectors to corrodeor fail from dampness). Protectiveconduit for the wiring and junction boxesare already in place.
The traditional truck scale installationuses grout plates as bases for thestands that hold the load cells. Groutplates require precise positioning andmust be perfectly level to ensure that allload cells are level. Anchor bolts,positioned in the foundation to tighttolerances, secure each grout plate.
In contrast, the BridgeMont positions itsWeigh Bars in the deck sectionsinstead of on stands which need to beperfectly level. It has no need for groutplates. Installers simply drill and insertanchor bolts at the time of installation.This saves hours of highly skilled,precision foundation preparation.
BridgeMont’s 20, 23, and 25 foot decksare longer than the industry standard.Therefore, the BridgeMont truck scalewill often have one less
As a result, they developed a newconfiguration for their proven sandwichsteel deck that reduced the weight ofthe deck but maintained the strength.
Their test also reaffirmed the choice ofsandwich steel construction. When theytested several designs that eliminatethe bottom plate, they found that thebottom plate serves as a critical loadstabilizer. Designs tested withoutbottom plates were subject to highfatigue stresses and premature failurewhen improperly loaded.
The second value the bottom plateadds to the BridgeMont is that it allowsfor a 100% seal weld of the deckstructure. This lengthens the life of thescale, protecting it from exposure tomoisture and early corrosion.

The heart of the BridgeMont Steel TruckScale is the Weigh Bar® weight sensor.Weigh-Tronix machines Weigh Barsfrom high quality aircraft alloy steel barstock. Each Weigh Bar goes through athree-step process of heat treating,quenching and then tempering. Theprocess has two benefits. First, itincreases the weight sensor’s resis-tance to corrosion, and secondly, itenhances the performance of theWeigh Bar, ensuring its high
