Rice Lake DeckHand/DeckHand Rough-n-Ready System - Manual (Page 5)

Introduction 1
1.0 Introduction
The DeckHand™ Portable Floor Scales are fully electronic, NTEP-certified floor scales allowing one-person
portability on large rubber wheels. Available in painted steel or stainless steel construction, these rugged scales
come in 500 lb, 1000 lb, and 2000 lb capacity.
The heavy diamond-tread platform is 30-1/2 in x 24-1/4 in (0.77 m x 0.62 m) with an overall base height of only
4 1/2 in (0.11 m). The addition of an optional low-angle ramp allows one person to easily roll on a barrel or wheel
on a hand truck. The free-floating ramp pivots back over the deck and rests on the mast for compact storage or
balanced portability.

An efficient off-center arrangement of two high-capacity, single-point load cells yields Legal for Trade accuracy.
Electronic components are double-protected from rough use. A RoughDeck™ stainless steel NEMA 4X junction
box is further protected by mounting within the mast. The optional indicator mounts on a swivel bracket high
enough on the 59 in (1.50 m) mast to clear the tallest loads.
In addition to ramps, available options include stainless steel load cell guards (clamshell) and indicator brackets for
any Rice Lake IQ series indicator. Other indicators can be readily mast-mounted with slight modifications.
