Vulcan Super-Beam™ Load Cells with EDOC

The highest-quality load cells for on-board scales, better protected than ever!

Vulcan Super-Beam™ load cells, developed and manufactured in-house by VPG, are long-proven for high reliability in a wide variety of on-board weighing systems used in multiple industries. In refuse vehicles, they are typically installed between the truck frames and truck-mounted bodies. In log trucks they are mounted beneath the log bolsters or under the fifth wheel plate and between the suspension and the trailer frame.

EDOC corrosion-proof coating

EDOC (Electrodeposited Organic Coating), developed by VPG, is applied as part of the Super-Beam load cell manufacturing process. It outstrips common coatings, such as zinc-nickel, and is more environmentally friendly than cad-chromate coating.

From our customers

“I cut fuel.
I cut landfill costs. I cut time in between
servicing my customers.”

“Approximately 50% of our loads are directed to landfill sites that charge by the ton in lieu of by the yard. With an on-board scale system, we can utilize the most cost-effective disposal facility. … After researching the various available brands, Vulcan stood out as the system to buy and we have chosen to continue with them as our scale provider.”

“The system works great. We run 8 different tractor/trailer combinations and the ability to drop and swap trailers through a pigtail configuration works great for us. The system is dialed in and maintains calibration through the rough environment of a landfill. To date we have had no issues with maintaining DOT compliant weights. In addition, wear and tear on equipment has been reduced. The staff loves the system, and we plan to continue using it in the future.”

“I think we have about 15-18 sets of scales now. We installed our first 4 sets back in 1998. We average an extra 2.5 tons per load by using scales and not having to guess our weight. By hauling maximum loads you can run less trucks because you are hauling more wood with the same amount of fuel.”
