Reason #4 - Eliminates Ground Potential Problems

Most ligtning and drifting problems associated with truck scales come from the fact that the scale has a greater potentiak for ground than most electrical supplies for bulidings. Ground potential problems increase a scale's vulnerability to lightning strikes and eratic weights. With proerly installed hydraulic scale the scale is isolated by non-conductive hydraulic hose at the junction box. Hydraulic oil is also nonconductive completely isolating the scale from the building's power supply.
