SIC Code 4785-08 - Truck Scales

The truck scales industry involves the manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of scales specifically designed for weighing heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, trailers, and buses. These scales are used in a variety of settings, including transportation and logistics companies, waste management facilities, and agriculture operations. The primary purpose of truck scales is to accurately measure the weight of vehicles and their cargo, ensuring compliance with weight regulations and preventing overloading. Truck scales come in a range of sizes and types, including portable and permanent models. Portable scales are designed for temporary use and can be easily transported from one location to another. Permanent scales, on the other hand, are installed in a fixed location and are typically used for high-volume weighing operations. Truck scales can also be classified based on their weighing technology, with options including hydraulic, electronic, and mechanical scales. The truck scales industry is highly regulated, with strict standards and guidelines in place to ensure accuracy and safety. Companies operating in this industry must adhere to these regulations and provide regular maintenance and calibration services to ensure their scales are functioning properly.
