Many vehicle scales claim to offer lighting-protection features, but how do you know if they actually work? We put the StrikeShield™ system to the test in a special aircraft lightning laboratory to prove its effectiveness.

High unexpected repair costs can be a nightmare for business owners. When lightning strikes a vehicle scale, the damage is typically serious--and expensive. Even when the scale is properly grounded, a surge of electricity can cause irreparable harm to load cells, cables, junction boxes and other critical scale components.
Nobody can prevent lightning strikes, but METTLER TOLEDO is determined to protect scale owners from lightning damage. The result is the StrikeShield™ system included in POWERCELL® load-cell systems. StrikeShield circumvents damage to scale components, even from a direct lightning strike.
Other scale companies advertise features that are "designed" to minimize damage from a lightning strike. Unfortunately, until a strike occurs, the scale owner has no way to know if those features will actually be effective.
StrikeShield is different. To prove how effective it is, we took the system to a special laboratory where aircraft components are tested for the impact of lightning strikes.
Scale owners who want proven lightning protection choose POWERCELL weighing systems with StrikeShield protection.
