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.
