TYPICAL WOOD PLATFORM CONSTRUCTION
The following two platforms can be built using readily available building materials. Alternate decking
material (plywood or steel grating) may be used if properly supported. An example of proper support
could consist of either concrete or timber piers, or a concrete slab. Treated lumber is recommended
for decking material.
If alternate deck sizes and/or materials are used, be aware that too much deck deflection will affect
weighing accuracy. A heavy strong structure is better than a light one that flexes.
Important
Do not weld to load cells with load cell cables connected to the indicator. If you must weld with load cells
connected, locate welder ground so that current will not flow through the load cell.
Model 3300 (3300 LB [1500 KG] Gross Capacity)
This is a typical platform that may be used with the Stockweigh Model 3300.
Do not allow deck to overhang more than 6 inches past the edge of the load cell.
