Rail Scale For Legal-for-Trade, Weigh In Motion Application
A multinational chemical producer’s North Carolina plant contacted Cross Company for rail scales to verify the weight of fertilizer shipments. But there was a catch: it needed to be both legal-for-trade and able to weigh in motion. Essentially, they needed to be able to weigh without having to stop the train itself, expediting delivery times and preventing bottlenecks in the logistics process.

Minimize forklift hose failure with Parflex Over-the-Sheave Hoses
When a load shifts in transit, it’s easy to cause damage to the hoses on your forklift. Installing a hose with high abrasion resistance helps those hoses stand up to this type of abuse and extends their lives.
Parflex over-the-sheave hoses are design to withstand the strains of continual flexing over sheaves, like fork lifts, booms, aerial lifts and cranes. With specially formulated polyurethane jackets, they exceed rubber hose industry requirements for abrasion and durability by 650 times!
Cross Provides Tangible Value for You
Reduce Risk
Make sure you’re moving and weighing as safely as possible with the Rice Lake RL101 compact digital below-the-hook scale. Manufactured to the highest safety standards, the RL101 has a 5:1 ultimate safety factor.
It also features an infrared remote control which can be used up to 25ft away from the scale itself. It’s also got a vibrant, backlit LCD display for easy viewing of the weight in any condition.
Raise Quality
Vibration testing simulates real world transportation scenarios to make sure your product holds up and reaches the customer intact. Cross Precision Measurement’s Greenville testing lab has significant capacity and capability to perform mechanical shock testing, vibration testing and climactic vibration testing (from -40C to +170C).
Watch this webinar with TC Beinke from Cross’s Testing Division to learn more about what vibration testing is, why you need it and some of the most common types of vibration testing.
Improve Efficiency
Weighing doesn’t have to stop just because the temperature goes up. The Rice Lake MSI Trans-Weigh 6360 has been specifically developed to endure high temperatures.
It also features remote control and monitoring from virtually any location, meaning you don’t have to walk over to the scale to see what the measurement is. It’s also legal for trade and available in capacities up to 70,000lbs.
