Vehicle Weighing Systems MC Series / Mobile Steel Platform Scale: Comprehensive Guide

Vehicle Weighing Systems MC Series / Mobile Steel Platform Scale is a portable weighing solution manufactured by Tamçeki, made entirely of steel material. With its quick installation, high corrosion resistance, and precise measurement capability, it offers reliable weighing at variable locations such as construction sites, factories, and agricultural enterprises.

Accuracy and efficiency lie at the heart of industrial operations. The correct weighing of every gram and kilogram, from incoming materials to shipped products, directly affects your profitability. But what happens when your project is not at a fixed location? Or if you have a seasonal business and only need a scale at certain times of the year? This is where the Vehicle Weighing Systems MC Series / Mobile Steel Platform Scale comes into play. Designed with over 40 years of engineering experience from Tamçeki, these systems eliminate the limitations of fixed scales and add unique flexibility and power to your business.

What Are MC Series Mobile Scales and Why Should They Be Preferred?

The dynamic nature of modern business requires solutions to be flexible as well. Although traditional ground-mounted scales are sturdy, their non-portable structure can become a constraint for many businesses. The MC Series is an engineering marvel designed to break these constraints.

Basic Definition of Mobile Steel Platform Scales

A mobile steel platform scale, as the name suggests, is a vehicle weighing system that can be easily moved from one place to another, consisting entirely of steel construction. It can be installed on a compacted flat surface with ramps or in a shallow pit without requiring a reinforced concrete foundation. Imagine you have a road construction site and the project will move to another location 100 kilometers away in 3 months. Building a fixed scale would be a waste of time and money. However, you can easily transport a mobile steel scale with your project.

Advantages and Benefits of MC Series Scales

Flexibility and Portability

The greatest promise of the MC Series is freedom. You can take your scale wherever your business is. This feature is invaluable especially for construction and contracting, seasonal agriculture, mining, and rental companies.

Quick Installation and Dismantling

In a world where time is money, you don't want to deal with construction processes that take weeks. MC Series mobile scales can be set up and calibrated within 1-2 business days after the appropriate ground is prepared.

Low Maintenance Costs

Tamçeki's engineering approach is built on longevity and durability. The all-steel platform of the MC Series is coated with two layers of primer and industrial paint to provide maximum protection against corrosion.

Differences from Other Mobile Scales

100% Steel Structure: The MC Series offers a lighter and faster transportable solution with its entirely steel structure. Engineering and Experience: Tamçeki has been in this industry since 1969. Over 40 years of experience is reflected in every weld point. High-Quality Components: Proven and precise components with international certifications such as CE and OIML are used.

Technical Specifications of MC Series Mobile Steel Scales

What makes a scale valuable is not its external appearance, but the technical superiority under the hood. The MC Series is equipped to not compromise on its precision and durability even in the most demanding industrial conditions.

Capacity and Size Options

Standard and Custom Dimensions

The most commonly used platform sizes are generally designed to match the axle distances of trucks and trailers. Standard sizes include options such as 3m x 8m, 3m x 16m, 3m x 18m. For special requirements, Tamçeki's expert engineering team is ready to design a custom solution for your needs.

Tonnage Ranges: 40 Ton, 60 Ton, 80 Ton and Above

40 Ton: Suitable for agricultural enterprises or small warehouses where pickups and small trucks are weighed. 60 Ton: The most standard capacity for weighing trucks within the legal limit on Turkish roads. 80 Ton and Above: Preferred for special projects such as mining sites, ports, iron and steel facilities.

Materials Used and Structural Features

High Strength Steel Platform

The platform of the MC Series is manufactured from high-strength structural steel. The underside of the platform is reinforced with specially designed steel profiles to distribute tons of load homogeneously and prevent flexing.

Durable Load Cells and Indicators

Load Cells: Stainless steel load cells with IP68 protection class, fully protected against water and dust, are used. Weighing Indicator: Modern indicators have many additional features such as receipt printing, data transfer to computer, and integration with automation systems.

Operating Principle and Precision

When the vehicle gets on the platform, the weight is sensed by the load cells. The analog signal produced by each load cell is collected in a junction box and transmitted to the weighing indicator. The weighing precision is fully compliant with legal metrology standards.

Installation, Assembly and Maintenance of MC Series Mobile Weighing Systems

Site Selection and Ground Preparation

The first step to accurate weighing is the right ground. The ground must be completely flat, compacted, and stable. There should be no water accumulation around the scale. Sufficient space should be left for trucks and lorries to enter and exit the scale comfortably.

Installation Steps and Points to Consider

When done by a professional team, MC Series installation is a very quick process: Module placement, mechanical assembly, load cell installation, cabling and electronic connections, initial startup and tests, calibration.

Periodic Maintenance and Support Services

Troubleshooting and Spare Parts Supply

Clean the top and bottom of the platform regularly. Check cables for crushing, breaking, or wear. Get professional maintenance service at least once a year. Tamçeki prevents your operations from being disrupted with its nationwide service network and extensive spare parts stock.

Mobile Scale Calibration and Certification Processes

Importance and Frequency of Calibration

Calibration is the process of comparing the value shown by your scale with reference weights and adjusting deviations. It is of critical importance for commercial reliability, legal compliance, and process control. Calibration is generally required every two years.

Legal Calibration Obligations and Standards

Type Approval Certificates

Type Approval Certificate is an official document showing that the design, production, and performance of the scale model are approved by the Ministry of Industry and Technology in accordance with relevant standards.

International Certifications

CE Certificate: Shows that the product complies with EU directives. OIML Certificate: Indicates compliance with International Organization of Legal Metrology standards.

Application Areas and Industries of MC Series Mobile Scales

Construction and Mining Industry

These industries are dynamic by nature. The MC Series is used for weighing incoming aggregate, cement, and iron, controlling excavation trucks, and tracking mining stocks.

Agriculture and Food Industry

Products collected from fields during harvest need to be weighed accurately. MC Series mobile scales can be quickly installed near the field or storage area.

Logistics and Transportation Businesses

For logistics companies, weight means everything. MC Series scales are used to check whether vehicle loads are within legal limits before departure.

Recycling and Waste Management

Waste facilities and recycling centers charge by weighing incoming waste. The MC Series creates a reliable checkpoint at the entrances and exits of these facilities.
