Rice Lake 18776 10 Foot T Strip Molding for Truck Scales SBR Rubber

Description

Product Overview

The Rice Lake 18776 10 Foot T Strip Molding is a purpose‑built accessory designed to protect the pit area of truck scales from material spillover, debris, and accidental impacts. Constructed from high‑grade impact‑resistant SBR rubber, the molding offers superior durability against weather extremes, chemical exposure, and the constant wear generated by heavy‑duty truck traffic. Measuring 10 feet in length, 4.5 inches in width, and 2 inches in height, the unit weighs approximately 8 pounds, providing a substantial yet manageable component for installation. The rubber formulation is engineered to resist tearing, cracking, and UV degradation, ensuring a long service life with minimal maintenance. Its flexible yet sturdy profile allows it to conform to the scale pit geometry while delivering a secure barrier that prevents product loss and protects the underlying scale mechanism.

Usage

This T‑Strip molding is ideal for a wide range of industrial environments where truck scales are employed, including bulk material handling facilities, agricultural processing plants, mining operations, and waste management sites. The molding can be installed in both indoor and outdoor settings, offering reliable performance in temperatures ranging from sub‑freezing winter conditions to scorching summer heat. Its weather‑proof characteristics make it suitable for exposure to rain, snow, and direct sunlight without loss of elasticity. The product is especially valuable in applications where spillage of granular or powdered materials could compromise scale accuracy or create safety hazards. By directing material back into the scale pit, the molding helps maintain consistent weighing results and reduces the need for frequent cleaning. Installation is straightforward: the molding can be anchored using standard industrial fasteners or adhesive systems, allowing technicians to secure it quickly without specialized tools.

FAQ

What material is the T‑Strip molding made from?

The molding is fabricated from high‑quality SBR (Styrene‑Butadiene Rubber) that is specifically formulated for impact resistance, durability, and weather protection.

Can the molding be used outdoors?

Yes, the SBR rubber is UV‑stabilized and designed to withstand rain, snow, and temperature extremes, making it suitable for outdoor installations.

How is the molding installed?

Installation is simple: the molding can be anchored to the scale pit using standard industrial fasteners or a compatible adhesive. No specialized tools are required, and the process typically takes less than an hour per unit.

Does the molding affect scale accuracy?

No. The molding is designed to sit flush with the pit surface, preventing material from escaping without interfering with the scale’s weighing platform or sensors.

What warranty does Rice Lake provide?

Rice Lake offers a limited warranty covering material defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase, along with access to technical support for installation and maintenance questions.
