Those are Load cells from a truck scale , approx 4.5 inches of SOLID HARD CORP Stainless Alloy , I have NO IDEA how they managed to Rip them ASUNDER like this ( the trucker said the scale went POW !!!)

Busy F**KING week so far !!!!

Yeah. Holy crap. I'm pretty sure they ain't supposed to do that.

Maybe the circuit board was one of them radio shack kits.

Shawnee could solder all those bad boys in place for you, but the broken load cells are wild. They snapped so cleanly.

To military specifications, even.

Gotta admit...manufacturing, mechanics stuff, still fascinates me.

ZenGum · 07-10-2012, 08:11 AM

Those load cells ... omg.

They look rusty and badly maintained, is that right, Zippy?

Lamplighter · 07-10-2012, 09:39 AM

Zip, are the pics rotated 90 degrees ?
That is, so the cells are oriented like this:

I'm guessing the truck was moving onto the scale when the driver
slammed on his brakes, and shoved the platform horizontally.

zippyt · 07-10-2012, 03:58 PM

These are a different type load cell , they sit horizontal , and yes Zen the Whole scale is rusty , this is a Bulk Fertilizer place , they bring in barges of the Nasty stuff and ship it out in trucks and rail cars , the Whole place is so rusty they have a SHED WATCH if the winds are going to be over a certin speed !!!
