"The Swivel Caster Scale delivers unprecedented accuracy and ease of handling for the cargo industry," said Tim Peterson, Product Manager. "This scale marks the first implementation of Weigh Bar technology in a scale of this type, which will offer significant increases in weighing accuracy along with improved
service life." Peterson noted data from a 3-year study that put failure rates for the Weigh Bar at a mere 0.5% versus the 3% -5% failure rates of competitive load cells. Studies also indicate superior rates for errors, reflecting greater accuracy for the Weigh Bar technology.
