Vulcan Super-Beam™ Load Cells with EDOC
The highest-quality load cells for on-board scales, better protected than ever!
In the competitive timber and forestry industry, maximizing load efficiency while ensuring compliance with weight regulations isn't just good practice—it's essential for profitability. Vulcan Scales provides industry-leading onboard scales specifically engineered for logging trucks and timber operations, helping you eliminate overloading fines, reduce underloading, and optimize every haul.
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.

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.
