The RoughDeck CC Caster Cargo Scale has a 20,000 lb capacity with a powder coat surface
for durability. Load and unload the caster deck scale in all directions with 360 degree swivel
casters (108 Kalpar Casters model DL55014893).
The EZ Mount kits provide an extremely accurate method for weighing medium and large
capacity structures that are subject to large thermal expansion/contraction or vibration forces.
The design uses a double ended shear beam load cell (700 Ω bridge) and transmits the load
with a sliding pin on the load-bearing groove of the cell. This design is very effective in
providing for thermal expansion/contraction with little friction.

In the majority of applications, the assemblies are self-checking and held captive with no need
for check or stay rods, making this mount a good choice for areas with frequent seismic activity.
The sliding pin design eases load cell installation and replacement without the need to raise the
structure a large amount.
The RoughDeck CC uses four stainless steel EZ Mount 1 weigh modules (Section 2.2 on page 4)
containing 10,000 lb stainless steel IP67 load cells (RL70000SS).
The RoughDeck CC also utilizes a JB4SS TuffSeal NEMA Type 4X stainless steel signal trim
junction box. The TuffSeal junction box can be placed in any of the corners of the caster deck
(Section 4.2 on page 8) and accessed through any of the 4 removable deck panels along with
the load cells and mounts.
