Four steps, one day of setup
Tell us the site and the dates
Request a rental quote or call your distributor: where, when, for how long, and what you weigh.
Site survey
A technician surveys the site and schedules delivery of the scale and a crane.
One day of setup
The scale is placed and anchored, the indicator wired, the approaches formed or set, and the scale calibrated.
Weigh by the month
Rent by the month. At the end, your distributor checks the scale, cleans it and ships it back.
Your distributor quotes the whole rental: the scale, freight, the crane and setup. There is no pricing online. Demand peaks with the spring and summer construction season, so ask early.
Renting a truck scale
How long can I rent it?
By the month, for as long as the job runs. Your distributor sets the term in the rental agreement.
Is a rental scale legal for trade?
The rental is set up and calibrated on site for legal-for-trade weighing of on-highway trucks. Its approval details are on the Falcon 8565 PV product page.
Do I need a foundation?
Not a permanent one. The scale stands on its own pedestal sub-frame, with steel ramps from the rental program or approaches formed on site. A technician surveys the site before delivery is scheduled.
What can it weigh?
On-highway trucks up to 70 ft long on a 10 ft wide deck, with a 90,000 lb (41,000 kg) concentrated load capacity.
How soon can I get one?
That depends on where the rental scales are and the time of year: demand peaks with the spring and summer construction season. Ask as early as you can, and your distributor confirms the dates.
