2.4 Lifting and Handling (Steel Deck)
Deck modules are lifted (see Figure 2-1) using four chains or cables attached to the four lift lugs mounted on the
top of the weighbridge. The lift lugs provide balanced lifting of the modules.
Figure 2-1. Lifting Deck Modules (Steel Deck)
Loads may disengage from crane scale hook and shackle or lifting eye if proper procedures are not
followed. A falling load may cause serious injury or death.
Never lift more than the crane scale’s assigned Working Load Limit (WLL) rating.
A set of lifting lugs are provided with the scale and shipped on the last module loaded on the truck at the
factory.
2.5 Temporary Setting Blocks (Steel Deck)
When the deck is level with the approaches, the finished scale has 5 3/4" clearance between the bottom of the
weighbridge and the concrete foundation. Most installers use setting blocks that are approximately
5 1/2" high for the initial placement and connecting of the deck modules. Shims are used to level the scale and raise
it flush with the approach bulkhead. Setting blocks are only used in the corners of the modules where the load cell
mounts are installed. The corners that do not have load cell mount locations do not require setting blocks.

Figure shown for 18" foundation profile.
When placing modules on setting blocks, place blocks in locations close to, but not at, the pocket (to allow
room for mount).
