#2: MD 400/500 Portable Wheel Weigh Scale
While there’s no shortage of portable truck scales available on the market, non-electronic options are surprisingly limited. Fortunately, GEC fills in this gap perfectly with its MD400 & MD500 models. These wheel pads are fully mechanical, providing precise measurements of ± 1% without ever needing to be charged. Even so, the MD400 and MD500 feature a low-profile, ultra-lightweight design with a 20-degree ramp for ease of use. With any portable truck scale, durability is just as crucial as accuracy. That’s why GEC’s portable truck scales offer dust-proof, NTEP-certified protection for all critical internal components. Whether on a dusty construction site or out on the highway, this option offers a compact yet hardy weighing solution for nearly any operation.

This portable wheel pad is rated for truly heavy-duty applications, with a weight limit of 40,000 lbs. The PT300 is built for even the most rugged conditions, with a lightweight aluminum construction. Ensure power day in and day out with a solar-powered charging system that lasts up to one year.
