Truck Scale Cost
How Much Does a Truck Scale Cost?
Truck scale cost depends on a variety of factors. When pricing any type of vehicle scale, consider:
- What are you weighing? Is it corrosive?
- How heavy are the trucks? Do you need special sizing?
- How many trucks are you weighing per day?
- How much space do you have available?
- Do you need accessories, like outdoor digital scoreboards, ticket printing kiosks, or guard rails?
- What kind of data collection do you need?
- Are you most concerned about up-front price or total cost of ownership?
Average Cost
On average, a truck scale project will cost between $65,000 – $85,000.
Simple Applications
For applications where foundation work (an expensive component to the installation) is minimal, a vehicle scale could cost between $50,000 – $60,000.
Heavy Use or Tough Soil Conditions
Because these conditions often require remediation, scale costs may exceed $100,000.
Is Conversion an Option?
Some existing truck or rail scale models may be eligible for a conversion kit.
If the existing foundation and deck of your scale are in good condition, a conversion kit can save you money. System Scale will replace all of the electrical components of your scale and provide a warranty, leaving you with a nearly new scale at a fraction of the cost.
Conversion kits eliminate foundation work, most freight costs, and specialized equipment, so they cost less than half of a new truck scale. Best of all, conversion kits include the same benefits and warranty as a new scale.
