About RICE LAKE WEIGHING

Rice Lake Weighing Systems is a manufacturer of weighing equipment and measurement instruments, headquartered in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, USA. The company was founded in 1946 and has since developed a broad portfolio that includes bench scales, floor scales, truck scales, wheel and axle scales, shipping scales, calibration weights, and weight indicators. Its products are used across industrial, logistics, agricultural, and laboratory environments where accurate mass measurement is required.

3G Electric supplies a selection of Rice Lake weighing products, with current stock focused on wheel and axle scales and shipping scales. The wheel and axle scale line includes models with weight capacities ranging from 3,300 lb to 44,000 lb and weighing surface depths of 22 in, 30 in, or 37 in. These scales are used to measure individual axle loads or groups of axles on trucks and trailers, helping operators verify load distribution and avoid overloading. Each unit features a backlit LCD display for readability in varied lighting conditions. The shipping scale offering includes a 150 lb capacity model with a 12 in deep stainless steel weighing surface, readability of 0.05 lb (0.02 kg), and an RS-232 interface for data communication. This scale comes with a remote indicator, allowing the display to be positioned separately from the weighing platform.

Rice Lake weighing equipment is characterized by practical engineering: mild steel or stainless steel construction depending on the model, straightforward interfaces, and compatibility with common industrial communication protocols such as RS-232. The wheel and axle scales are portable and can be moved between locations, making them suitable for temporary or mobile weighing operations. The shipping scales are designed for parcel and package weighing in warehouses, distribution centers, and shipping departments.

3G Electric supports the Rice Lake line by maintaining inventory of the models listed above and providing technical specifications, part numbers, and availability information. For procurement specialists and maintenance managers, 3G Electric offers a single source for these weighing products alongside other industrial equipment categories. The company ships globally, and customers can request quotes for specific models or configurations. For detailed technical documentation, calibration procedures, or warranty information, buyers should refer to Rice Lake's official publications or contact 3G Electric directly.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about RICE LAKE WEIGHING from 3G Electric.

What is the weight capacity range of the Rice Lake wheel and axle scales available from 3G Electric?

The Rice Lake wheel and axle scales in stock at 3G Electric cover capacities from 3,300 lb to 44,000 lb. Specific models include the 3,300 lb (MPN 212096), 6,600 lb (MPN 212097), 13,200 lb (MPN 212101), 22,200 lb (MPN 212102), 33,000 lb (MPNs 212103 and 212106), and 44,000 lb (MPN 212107) versions. Weighing surface depths are 22 in, 30 in, or 37 in depending on the model. All units feature a backlit LCD display. These scales are used for measuring individual axle loads or groups of axles on trucks and trailers.

What are the key specifications of the Rice Lake shipping scale with remote indicator (MPN BP-1214-75S)?

The Rice Lake shipping scale with remote indicator has a 150 lb weight capacity and a readability of 0.05 lb (0.02 kg). It features a 12 in deep stainless steel weighing surface and an RS-232 interface for data communication. The remote indicator allows the display to be mounted separately from the scale platform, which can be useful when the weighing surface is not easily visible. This model is suitable for parcel weighing, shipping departments, and warehouse operations where moderate capacities and fine readability are required.

How do Rice Lake wheel and axle scales help prevent truck overloading?

Rice Lake wheel and axle scales measure the load on individual axles or axle groups. By weighing each axle, operators can verify that the load is distributed correctly and that no axle exceeds its rated capacity. This helps prevent overloading, which can affect vehicle safety, tire wear, and compliance with road weight regulations. The scales are portable and can be used at loading sites, weigh stations, or temporary locations. Models with higher capacities, such as the 44,000 lb unit, are intended for heavier trucks and trailers, while lower-capacity models suit lighter vehicles.

What interface options are available on Rice Lake scales from 3G Electric?

The Rice Lake shipping scale with remote indicator (MPN BP-1214-75S) includes an RS-232 interface for data communication, allowing connection to computers, printers, or other peripheral devices. The wheel and axle scales listed do not specify communication interfaces in the available specifications; they feature backlit LCD displays for direct reading. For applications requiring data output from wheel and axle scales, additional indicators or interface modules may be necessary. Buyers should confirm interface requirements with 3G Electric when requesting a quote.

Are Rice Lake wheel and axle scales suitable for outdoor use?

Rice Lake wheel and axle scales are designed for weighing trucks and heavy vehicles, which typically occurs outdoors or in open bays. The scales have a weighing surface depth of 22 in to 37 in and are constructed to withstand the loads imposed by vehicle axles. However, the available specifications do not include IP ratings or environmental sealing details. For outdoor use, buyers should consider protection from standing water and extreme conditions. The backlit LCD display aids readability in low-light conditions. For specific environmental ratings, consult Rice Lake documentation or contact 3G Electric.

What is the difference between the Rice Lake wheel and axle scale models with 33,000 lb capacity?

Two Rice Lake wheel and axle scale models share a 33,000 lb capacity: MPN 212103 and MPN 212106. The primary difference is the weighing surface depth. MPN 212103 has a 30 in weighing surface depth, while MPN 212106 has a 37 in weighing surface depth. Both feature a backlit LCD display and are used for weighing individual axles or groups of axles on trucks and trailers. The choice between them depends on the tire size and axle configuration of the vehicles being weighed; a deeper surface may accommodate larger tires or dual-axle setups more easily.
