Rice Lake Weighing Systems, a Rice Lake, Wisconsin-based manufacturer of weighing and measurement solutions, has announced the Survivor OTR-IMS in-motion truck scale system. This weigh-in-motion system improves throughput at high-volume facilities by maintaining a steady flow of traffic, the company says.

The system features a patent-pending system, single-draft weighing, Legal for Trade certification and industry-leading support, according to Rice Lake.

The Survivor OTR-IMS has been designed to help cut emissions by shortening truck idle and eliminating lines of trucks waiting to be weighed. The in-motion truck scale system can also reduce maintenance by limiting truck braking and improve site safety by allowing drivers to complete transactions from their cabs, the company says.

The system consists of a 1280 Enterprise Series weight indicator with Legal for Trade, in-motion software, a LaserLight3 remote display and a speed sensor paired with a Survivor OTR truck scale.

Compatible with steel or concrete deck Survivor OTR truck scales, the Survivor OTR-IMS system can be installed with new scales or retrofitted to existing scales, Rice Lake says.
