Quality Scales Unlimited has done it again Replacing a Truck Scale in just 2 Days!

Republic Services, Contra Costa Transfer, a waste and recycling facility in Martinez, was ready to replace their worn out truck scale and who better to get the job done than the highly skilled professionals of QSU.
The project started off with the removal of the old, worn out truck scale. Once the old truck scale was removed, our team members took the time to clean out the debris that had collected under the scale. The old truck scale was then replaced with a customized 70’ Rice Lake OTR steel deck truck scale.


 
We were able to work with the manufacturer (Rice Lake Weighing Systems) to have the height and the panel dimensions of the truck scale modified in order to fit it in their existing pit. The customized scale allowed us to execute the project in just two days because we did not have to make modifications to the foundation of the pit. Making modifications to a pit would typically take a few weeks to complete, and because Republic Services relies heavily on this scale on a daily basis, they could not afford for the scale to be down for a long period of time.

With little down time, QSU was able to install a new truck scale for Republic Services that will allow them to function more efficiently. The new scale will also prevent any future issues and possible downtime that often accompany older scales.
