Superior Craftsmanship

Since 1988, POWERCELL load cell technology has lead the industry in heavy capacity weighing applications. POWERCELL PDX load cells are the third generation of this technology. See how METTLER TOLEDO uses precision processes and testing to make these unique weighing sensors at a specialized facility.

Truck Scale Upgrades

Conversion kits are available for retrofitting existing truck and rail scales with the latest electronic weighing technology. These easy-to-install kits can be used to install POWERCELL load cells in place of high-maintenance lever systems, analog load cells, and hydraulic load cells. Kits are also available to update previous generations of POWERCELL to the latest technology.

Kits may also be utilized to make vehicle scales compliant for use in hazardous areas. METTLER TOLEDO offers system solutions that are approved for use in Zone 1/21, Div 1, and Zone 2/22, Div 2.

Why should one go for Conversion?

  1. High Accuracy and reliability on weight readings
  2. No cost on civil foundation as existing one shall be used
  3. Upgrade/Conversion can be done in 3 – 5 Days
  4. Much stronger Fully Digital encrypted signal produced by Powercell Loadcell
  5. Eliminate Junction Box that brings lot of problems used commonly for manipulations
  6. 80,000 Amps protection from Lightning Strikes
  7. Self-Diagnostic and Auto Correction Capabilities to generate right value of weight
  8. Powercell Loadcells are Submersible under water and still performs
  9. Predictive Maintenance Alert that saves unexpected costly downtime

Eliminating Junction Boxes

Junction-box problems range from downtime due to Water damage, Moisture, Lightning strike etc., leads to inaccuracies and uncertainties. Upgrading to POWERCELL PDX load cells eliminates all the problems, junction boxes can cause.

Benefits of Improved Accuracy

When you upgrade your current truck scale to a POWERCELL load-cell system, you will immediately see the effects of improved weighing accuracy. With a truck scale that works better than new, you will be saving money on every load - and the upgrade will pay for itself quickly.

Financial Risk Calculator

Why buying cheap is too expensive

When it comes to the ongoing cost of owning a truck scale, the load cell system has the greatest impact on total expenditure. A system that is inexpensive up front, often leads to an influx of costs later on. Replacement parts, service fees, downtime and inaccuracy all contribute to the financial risk of a cheap load cell system. For this reason, it is critical to choose a reliable load cell system.

POWERCELL® load cells are the most advanced vehicle scale load cells available. This calculator shows you how this technology can save your business money every day.
