THE ORCA™ ADVANTAGE
Why ANYLOAD Truck Scales?
The ORCA™ truck scale is engineered around a simple premise: long-term accuracy and reliability are the result of sound structural design executed with high-quality fabrication. By combining efficient load distribution, user feedback, and controlled manufacturing processes, the ORCA™ is built to withstand heavy, repetitive loading while maintaining accuracy. Its design emphasizes durability and serviceability, which directly influence uptime, safety, and total cost of ownership. For operators who rely on their truck scale as a critical business asset, the ORCA™ delivers a balanced, engineered solution that protects revenue, supports compliance, and keeps operations running with confidence.
Engineered to Outlast
A truck scale’s long-term performance is determined first and foremost by its structural behavior under load. It is the underlying load path (how forces are transferred through the weighbridge) that governs fatigue life, accuracy retention, and resistance to permanent deformation. The ORCA™ truck scale was developed with input from users and service providers, and applies Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate real-world loading scenarios and identify potential stress concentrations before fabrication.
Structural Advantages
The ORCA™ truck scale is built around a deep U-channel (orthotropic) deck structure engineered to manage heavy axle loads efficiently while minimizing long-term fatigue. Each design element contributes directly to structural stability, accuracy retention, and service life.
Manufacturing Excellence
The long-term performance of a truck scale depends not only on sound design, but on how consistently that design is executed in production. The ORCA™ truck scale is manufactured using tightly controlled, industrial-scale processes that prioritize dimensional accuracy, weld integrity, and corrosion protection. Automation and repeatability are used wherever possible to reduce variability and ensure every scale performs as intended in the field.
Lower Cost of Ownership
A truck scale’s true cost is determined over its service life. Structural durability, installation efficiency, service access, and corrosion protection all directly affect downtime and maintenance expense. The ORCA™ truck scale is engineered to minimize these costs by reducing service-prone components, simplifying installation and access, and maintaining long-term structural and measurement stability. The result is fewer service interventions, faster maintenance when required, and predictable performance over decades of operation.
Custom Designs for Unique Applications
The ORCA™ truck scale platform supports custom configurations without compromising structural integrity or serviceability. Scales can be engineered to fit existing pit foundations, space constraints, or non-standard capacities, with options including alternative coatings, galvanized construction, and configurations for corrosive or demanding environments. All custom ORCA™ scales are developed using the same engineering analysis and controlled manufacturing processes as standard models, ensuring consistent durability, accuracy, and long-term performance across all applications.
