Abstract
A compact, self-contained, portable, electronic weigh scale for use for commercial vehicle weight enforcement. The scale has a base, a set of load cells, and a platform. The base is rigid, metallic, and generally rectangular, and has a central recessed area. The load cells are elongated, rectangular, and are coupled to the base in the central recessed area. The load cells are arranged parallel to each other. Each load celli has a long axis and a short axis, each load cell being fixedly coupled to the base at two side-by-side lateral points at a first longitudinal position relative to a bottom side of the load ceil and fixedly coupled to the base at two side-by-side lateral points at at least one other longitudinal position relative to the bottom side of the load ceil. The platform is rigid, metallic, rectangular. The platform is coupled to each load cell, the load cells being fixedly coupled at a second longitudinal position relative to a top side of the load cell and fixedly coupled to the platform at at least one other longitudinal position relative to the top side of the load cells.
