Truck Scales
Southern Illinois Scale specializes in specifying and installing the Fairbanks range of truck scales. We have been a trusted partner for over two decades and are consistently the largest Fairbanks dealer.
Above Ground:
Talon Steel Deck
Talon’s structural steel construction is the foundation of its enduring strength. Its longevity is reinforced by Fairbanks’ innovative open-bottom design, which eliminates internal corrosion failures. Fairbanks’ Talon steel deck scales offer a choice in capacity and deck plate thickness. For normal duty-cycles, the HV with ¼” deck plate is a solid performing scale. In “extreme” duty-cycles, the HVX offers ⅜” deck plate for a more robust solution. Whatever your needs, the Fairbanks Talon steel deck was designed to meet them.
Talon Field Pour
For the most robust, long-term scale performance, a concrete deck is the only choice. Concrete provides extraordinary life even in the most aggressive applications. The Talon HV offers a 10” thick concrete deck while the HVX offers a 12” thick concrete deck. Depending on your application and duty-cycle, Fairbanks has a Talon field poured concrete scale design that will maximize the lifespan of your scale.
Trident Factory Pour
If you demand the robustness of a concrete deck truck scale, but don’t have the luxury of waiting for a cure time, you need the Trident. Fairbanks’ Trident is a concrete deck truck scale delivered ready for service. Trident incorporates advanced concrete engineering technology to produce a proven 8,000 psi deck. Added strength and density comes from TensileCore steel fiber reinforcement and silica fume. With Trident, you can be guaranteed of the quality of the concrete. Starting with an engineered mix, cure and finish, the Trident is built under strict factory quality controls.
Below Ground:
Tundra Pit-Type Scale
Fairbanks’ new Tundra XL and XLT Pit-type Truck Scales feature the Fairbanks dual main girder weighbridge design, which has been the industry standard for strength and durability for nearly 100 years. The Tundra is designed to significantly reduce the amount of real estate typically required for scale operations. Where installation space is tight, or real estate rates are premium, the Tundra is an exceptional cost-saving and space-saving choice.
Type “S” Pit-Type Scale
Designed for weighing perfection, even under the heaviest loads or in extremely harsh conditions, the “Type S” pit-type truck scales are time-tested to handle the weighing needs of demanding operations. Over the years, Fairbanks’ “Type S” design has become synonymous with reliability and long scale life, backed by an available 15 YEAR WARRANTY. With capacities in the range 25 to 120 tons, a CLC from 30K to 120K, and the availability of standard and custom lengths, you’ll find a “Type S” that’s right for you.
