Components

70' x 10' Truck/Rail Combo Scale (400,000 lb capacity)

Moving sugar by the truckload takes precision, and one scale system built to handle it all.

At United Sugars Corporation’s Mason City, Iowa facility, a new 400,000 lb., 70' x 10' Truck/Rail Combo Scale is helping streamline operations with a single weighbridge for both trucks and rail cars.

Designed and fabricated by B-TEK Scales, the system was hot-dip galvanized to provide long-term corrosion protection, durability, and low life-cycle costs in Iowa’s demanding environment.

The project was a true collaboration between the fabricator and galvanizer, with early planning and coordination ensuring the scale was delivered on schedule for installation in November 2025.

The result is a rugged, space-saving system designed to provide accurate performance for decades to come.
