Industries
Built for accuracy, durability, ease of use and flexibility
Vulcan On-Board Scales offers a wide variety of solutions for the general trucking industry. Since 1984, we have manufactured scales for the timber, refuse, aggregate and delivery industries. Our scales are designed and built for accuracy, durability, ease of use and flexibility. Solutions for air, spring and mixed suspensions allow fleets to mix and match tractors and trailers as needed, without adjustment.
Increase Profits— Eliminate Overweight Fines
Maximize payload weight potential and avoid costly fines. Our on-board scales make it possible to load your truck to the maximum legal limit every time.
Reduce Loading and Eliminate Readjustment Time
Our on-board scales allow you to load to the maximum legal weight quickly. With an accurate load weight, you can eliminate the need to wait in scale lines and the potential of having to readjust your load.
Reduce Maintenance Costs and Increase Vehicle Life
Properly loaded vehicles have lower maintenance costs for brakes, tires, suspensions and other related equipment.
Increase Safety—Avoid Liability
Avoiding overweight vehicles can significantly reduce liability exposure in the event of an accident. When weights are kept within legal limits, vehicle stability and safety can be increased due to the ability to maintain expected braking distance and tracking around corners.
