Default Scales

Longacre computer scales 1400lb each pad, total capacity 5600lbs. Control box will select individual weight, weight one side, cross weights and total weights, also depicts percentage of total weight for each.

Looking to send to a new home as I prepare to regear up with newer equipment for my return to competition.

Price is negotiable.

I have a sports racer. About 1300 lbs total for whole car.

Usually you use a scale that has a max that is near your cars total weight, so not sure if i should get your scales or is lower weight range scale going to be more accurate for my use ?

The total weigtht capability seems more like a nascar number than a formula car or sports racer.

What did you use them on ?

Is this the scale weight that is normally used for light cars like I have, or are all the scales the same. ?

You did not put a $ figure on it, but I am thinking around $ 500.00 plus ground shipping to So-Cal - 93010 would be what I can afford & I do sure need a set.

Thanks.

Mike.

Your post is very confusing. It's listed in Wanted but reads like a For Sale ad. But still with no price.

Hello Mike,

The scales were uses on my formula atlantic car and my F2000 car I got them as a replacement to my Ruggles.

You are correct about how to source scales for your application however load cell scales use a different mechanical set up than a multiple lever beam type of mechanical scale so you will not observe descernable fluctuations in weight increments.

Stated in a more plain manner the lowest digit is pounds on this unit and not fractions of a pound or tenths of a pound, so overal you are +/- one pound of accuracy.

I have not priced this unit on purpose to find a needing racer who could use the scales just as I was when I got the units so if the accuracy is not an issue for you then we can make arraingements to send them to you as my zip code is Washington state.

Cheers!

+ or - 1 pound is just fine for me.

If there ever was a needy racer I am that guy.

Much appreciated

Lets do the deal.

Send me an e-mail with your mailing address & I will send you a check.

Find out what ground shippment costs -- cheapest way - like UPS ground or FED-ex Ground, DHL, etc is & I'll include it in the monies sent & If you could please pack it up real good & ship after the check clears.

I will e mail you my address when I get your emial. ZIP is 93010

My email is alfamike8277 at yahoo dot com.

I appreciate the assistance.

Thanks again.

Mike
