Steel
Deck - BMS-SD, Standard Duty Brochure
Custom Design
The BridgeMont BMS-SD incorporates all the same outstanding design features of
the BridgeMont truck scales. This custom designed BridgeMont model is best
suited for above-ground applications weighing an average of 75 or less trucks
per day of legal highway loads. Under these conditions, the scale is designed to
provide 20+ years of service. The BMS-SD is perfect for processing, general
manufacturing and agricultural applications.
Structural Integrity
Weigh-Tronix engineers utilized Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to verify the
BMS-SD performance at 75 trucks per day over 20 years without degradation of the
weighbridge or compromising the structural integrity of the scale. FEA verified
the value of the sandwich steel construction design used by Weigh-Tronix. The
structural integrity of the BMS-SD is fortified with the use of bottom plates, a
key to the strength of all models in the BridgeMont family.
Weigh Bar� Dependability
Like all BridgeMont scales, the BMSSD utilizes the proven Weigh Bar weight
sensors. The Weigh Bar has proven itself to be the most dependable and long
lasting weight sensor in the industry. Annual Weigh Bar failure rate is less
than 1% of the total population against an industry average of 3-5%.
Simplified Installation
The BMS-SD utilizes the same installation technique used in all BridgeMont truck
scales. The design places the Weigh Bar weight sensors in the scale's deck. This
provides stability and level positioning for the weight sensors without the need
for difficult-to-install load cell stands and grout plates.
The use of 20� and 23� deck sections that are longer than the industry standard
usually results in one less deck section than competitive scales of the same
length. In addition to the cost savings of one less deck section and two less
load cells, one less pier is required in the foundation which results in lower
foundation cost.
