1. Introduction

The MagnaMount

®

weigh module provides an accurate method of weighing heavy-

capacity tank, truck, and railroad track weighing applications. The mount is
available in three heavy-duty capacities: 50,000 lb, 100,000 lb, and 200,000 lb. The
load bearing plate is constructed of high-grade carbon steel, which gives the mount
its high-strength capabilities. The unique Teflon

®

-coated load bearing plate permits

multi-directional movement to offer accurate weighing and compensate for tem-
perature variations. The mount shields the load cell on four sides to protect it from
shock and side loads.

RTICSP1, RTICP1, and RLCSP1 compression canister loads cells are compatible
for use in the MagnaMount. All are constructed of stainless steel, hermetically
sealed, and rated for 150% maximum overload.

The installation should be planned by a qualified structural engineer. Each instal-
lation is unique, and this manual is meant to serve only as a general guideline for
installation.
