Quick-Pit In-Floor Frame
The Quick-Pit frame option provides a unitized scale assembly, eliminating the need for
additional pit coping with in-floor installations. The upper flange of the rugged C-channel
frame acts as the pit coping around the perimeter of the scale platform. The Quick-Pit
frame provides the following benefits:
•
Pits are correct depth
•
Pits are always square
•
No field assembly or welding of coping
•
Easy to install, no pit forming required
•
Ability to move the scale in the future
