1.0 Introduction and System Setup
The RoughDeck ™ FXB is a flexure base floor scale. Unlike conventional mechanical scales, the base of a
RoughDeck FXB has no moving parts and uses thin high-strength flexure plates that always stay aligned. The FXB
is available in sizes from 18" x 24" with a 500 lb capacity to 96" x 120" with a 30,000 lb capacity. NTEP
certification exists for models 18" x 24" (500 lb) through 72" x 96" (10,000 lb).
All models use an environmentally protected single “S” type load cell recessed into the frame for protection. Stan-
dard models include a mild steel deck, a deck plate, base, flexure plate pivoted levers, and 20 feet of signal cable.
Stainless steel covers are optional, and complete stainless steel units can be ordered. See Section 5.0 on page 12 for
a complete list of optional equipment.
