A few years ago, we received an inquiry from a scale company wondering if we had an interest in going above and beyond what the market was offering in a low profile, high capacity vessel, hopper, tank weigh module that does not need assembly before installation. The Challenges: The challenge consisted of a 50,000-pound capacity […]

Let’s start from a question: How much water does it take to grow a single almond? On average it takes about 1.3 gallons (5 litres), and an avocado takes about 18.4 gallons (70 litres). To reduce the environmental impact of commercial agriculture it’s important to look at the efficiency of water consumption and how that […]

The rubber-tired dollies will need to distribute the weight over their total number. The […]

Landslides can be an unfortunate side effect of modern engineering challenges in rugged terrain. Road building that cuts laterally across mountain faces can set up dangerous conditions. Engineers have been able to mitigate these effects by devising anchoring systems to hold the earth in check. But the forces of gravity are continuous and, to give […]
