**Photo 1 – Load Cell Area Packed in Ice**
You can see snow and ice built up tightly around the load cell base and mounting assembly.

Here’s the issue:
When snow melts during the day and refreezes overnight, it turns into solid ice around the load cell. The weighbridge is designed to float freely — but ice creates mechanical binding.

That leads to:
🔹 Restricted vertical movement
🔹 Side-loading pressure on the load cell
🔹 Stress on mounting hardware
🔹 Inconsistent or drifting weight readings

Load cells are designed for straight vertical force. When ice pushes from the side, it can permanently damage the internal strain gauges — and that’s a costly replacement.

**Photo 2 – Ice Wedged Between Deck & Approach**
Ice has been forced between the scale deck and approach, creating a hard bridge point.

This causes:
🔹 The deck to bind instead of floating independently
🔹 Weight transfer into the approach instead of the load cells
🔹 Inconsistent weights from truck to truck
🔹 Excess stress on check rods and end stops

Even a small frozen obstruction can change readings by hundreds of pounds.

---

Winter damage isn’t always obvious from the top of the deck — it’s what’s happening underneath that affects your bottom line.

Routine snow removal around load cells, end gaps, and approaches during freeze/thaw cycles prevents exactly this type of issue.

If your scale looks like this, it’s time for an inspection before minor ice turns into major repairs.
