Easi-Post Suspension – rugged, precise and easy to install

The Easi-Post suspension system is a proven design that offers a high degree of performance, efficiency, and durability while absorbing the energy applied to the truck scale during braking and acceleration. Easi-Post greatly simplifies the job of leveling a scale with the foundation. During installation each module may be raised or lowered by ½” with a simple turn of the adjustment bolt.

• Strength – The heavy-duty, stainless steel components provide long-lasting performance.
• Protection – The Easi-Post keeps the Weigh Bar elevated off the ground where it is more protected from the dirt and grime encountered in daily operation.
• Checking – Checking systems are internal and self-aligning. They allow for deck expansion/ contraction without the hassle of periodic adjustment like bumper-bolt systems.
• Dampening – The patented features of Easi-Post quickly stabilize rocking motion as trucks stop and go, for fast and stable weight readings.
• Installation – Base plates are anchored directly to pier tops. No grouting is necessary for proper alignment, greatly speeding up the installation process.

WEIGH BAR HISTORY

In 1965 the company Art’s-Way Manufacturing, Inc. of Armstrong, Iowa approached New Jersey engineer Dick Bradley about designing a transducer and onboard weighing system for livestock feed grinder/ mixers. By 1968 Bradley had developed the Weigh Bar, and in 1969 Art’s-Way marketed the first grinder/mixer with a working scale system. In 1971 Weigh-Tronix incorporated as a subsidiary of Art’s-Way, and began selling scale systems to farm equipment manufacturers. In 1973 a Weigh-Tronix deck scale was the first all electronic scale to be approved for trade by the National Bureau of Standards. Today the Avery Weigh-Tronix Weigh Bar is still ahead of its time, with an unmatched reputation for robust reliability and accuracy.
