Monorail Scales

Monorail scales are designed to be used with monorail systems, which are overhead railways that use a single rail or track. Monorail scales are typically made from steel or aluminum, and they have a large platform on which the monorail car rests. The scale measures the weight of the monorail car by using sensors that are located underneath the platform. 

Monorail Scale FAQs

These scales are often used in manufacturing and industrial settings to weigh large objects that cannot be easily moved or placed on a standard scale. Monorail scales are also well-suited for use in areas where space is limited.

This type of scale is an essential tool in many industries, and can provide accurate and reliable measurements.

The monorail scale works by suspending the weighing platform from the monorail. The monorail is supported at each end by a set of bearings. These bearings allow the monorail to move freely back and forth. When an object is placed on the weighing platform, the platform starts to descend. This causes the monorail to move forward. As the monorail moves, it turns a set of gears which are connected to a digital display. This display shows the weight of the object on the weighing platform.

Monorail scales are an important part of any monorail system, and it is critical to make sure that they are properly calibrated. There are a few different factors that can affect how often monorail scales should be calibrated, including the type of monorail scale and the frequency of use.

Generally speaking, monorail scales should be calibrated at least once per year. However, if the monorail scale is used frequently or if there are significant changes in usage, it may be necessary to calibrate more frequently.

"I received a call from a gentleman at Conway Freight regarding your service at Conway in Louisville.  Apparently he was extremely impressed with the service, repairs and installations American Scale completed at the terminal.  During the years we have been doing national service, this is the first time one of the national accounts has called specifically to compliment a dealer.  He has never walked into a terminal and not called me with some issue that needs to be fixed.  He said a couple times over there was not one little thing wrong with the scales that he could find. I want to thank your for everything you have done to present because American Scale represents Rice Lake and you have made both companies look great!  The gentleman who called is also the person who controls the reweighs and scale purchases for Conway corporate.  With that said, he was impressed!"
