Truck Scale Installation in Bedford, Ohio | 120’ Truck Scale Installed by Brechbuhler Cleveland
The Brechbuhler Cleveland team recently completed the installation of a new 120’ x 10’ truck scale for an asphalt plant in Bedford, Ohio, helping the facility improve weighing accuracy and operational efficiency.
Truck scales are critical for asphalt plants, where accurate weight measurements are essential for tracking material loads, managing truck traffic, and ensuring proper billing for incoming and outgoing materials.
This project required careful coordination, specialized equipment, and strong teamwork to overcome some unique installation challenges.
Overcoming Installation Challenges
One of the main challenges during the project was maneuvering the scale into position due to the length of the scale and the limited clearance beneath the plant’s silos.
With a 120-foot scale deck, precision and planning were critical to ensure the scale could be safely moved into place.
To solve this issue, the team utilized heavy-capacity wheel dollies along with a skid steer to carefully maneuver the scale into position.
This approach allowed the crew to safely position the weighbridge while working within the tight clearance constraints of the facility.
Projects like this demonstrate the importance of experienced technicians and the right equipment when installing large industrial truck scales.
Strong Teamwork Made the Installation Possible
Successful projects like this rely on collaboration between sales, technicians, and equipment partners.
A big thank you goes to Thomas Tritt, who secured the project and helped ensure everything was coordinated properly from the start.
Our installation crew also did an outstanding job working through the logistical challenges and ensuring the scale was installed efficiently and safely.
This project is a great example of the teamwork that goes into delivering reliable weighing solutions for customers across Northeast Ohio.
Partnership with B-TEK
Another key part of the project’s success was the support from B-TEK, who helped ensure the scale was delivered on schedule.
Meeting project timelines is critical for customers like asphalt plants, where equipment installation must often align with tight production schedules.
We appreciate B-TEK’s continued partnership and their help in meeting the deadline and transporting the scale to the site.
Strong manufacturer partnerships help ensure Brechbuhler customers receive dependable equipment and timely installations.
Another Installation Coming Soon
This project isn’t the end of the work at the Bedford location.
The Cleveland team is already preparing to return next week to install another 120’ x 10’ truck scale at the same facility.
With warmer weather expected, the team is looking forward to completing the next installation and continuing to support the customer’s operations.
Large-scale projects like this often occur in phases, and it’s always rewarding to see facilities expand their weighing capabilities as their operations grow.
