I did not know that! Thanks for the tip.

I took mine into work last week to weigh it, so it will be interesting to see how the load cells compare. A light battery and Harriets alum tank I may just make minimum.
Have you got ramps both sides Kev so it can roll on, then roll off, for quickness of getting the punters through.

Certainly have Phil, picked them up at lunchtime today
20" ramp each end
44" deck in the middle
and scales that are 12" by 12 1/2"
So ideally suited to a wheel base of 56"

Still some work I would like to do like build a mains to 9v supply into the underside of the deck for powering the scales.
When its finished everything should pack inside the 44" X 13" Deck section with the 20" X 12 1/2" ramps acting as cobers to protect the scales, but that will take time, if I'm lucky I may get the carrying handle fitted before the weekend.

I use to weigh my specials with a load cell at work, I think the 10 Ton crane was a bit over kill though, although it was useful for ploting the rising rate curve after removing the spring from the shock and learning how different shock lengths put you into different parts of the curve

Brilliant stuff look forward to seeing it. I had 1kg difference front to back split so very neutral, untill I get on it.
