Founded in 1929 as a commercial scale company, Gerhart harbors a long legacy as an expert in industrial weighing—the foundation of every one of our material handling and measurement solutions. Whether installing an internal plant scale, relocating a weighing system, or optimizing loadcell mounts, our precision solutions are built on experience, flexibility, and reliability.
HEAVY CAPACITY SYSTEMS
Heavy capacity weighing systems require exceptional planning, coordination, and know-how to ensure proper design and engineering, safe and efficient installation, and lasting performance. Gerhart offers turnkey installation of industrial scales, tanks, silos, and other large weighing equipment, and we also specialize in overhauls, rebuilds, and retrofits.
PROCESS WEIGHING SYSTEMS
Gerhart utilizes today’s most advanced industrial weighing equipment to design and implement process weighing systems engineered for your precise needs.
Batching/Continuous Controllers: Standard and custom batching, loss-in-weight, and gain-in-weight controls solutions
Transmitters: Compact, configurable DIN-mounted transmitters with analog, ethernet IP, TCP/IP, PROFIBUS, and MODBUS outputs; NTEP approved weight transmitters also available
In-Motion (Dynamic) Checkweighers: Available in roller and belt in an array of speeds and capacities; options include data collection, fill rate controls (T1, T2), rejection/ejection systems, and metal detection
Belt/Conveyor Scales: An excellent way to monitor materials and productivity in the aggregate and recycling industries
Loadcell Mounts: Can be used to convert tanks, hoppers, silos, and conveyers into weighing systems; custom mounts and adapter plates available
PLANT SCALES
Gerhart understands the critical role that plant scales play in the manufacturing process—we engineer weighing systems that are robust, reliable, and accurate.
Instrumentation: From simple readouts to batch controlling, we offer advanced data collecting instrumentation that can be seamlessly integrated into your plant process
Bench Scales: The workhorse in the manufacturing process; options range from simple ingredient weighers to stainless steel washdown checkweighers
Industrial Balances: Highly precise; ideal for applications where pre-weighing, ingredient batching, or high-cost raw materials are involved
Ex Scales: Designed for hazardous area weighing, whether FM approved, X or Y purged, or explosion-proof enclosure
Floor Scales: Mild, stainless steel floor and drum scales; options include custom finishes, pit frames, ramps, bumper guards, and portability kits
Forklift Scales: Variety of forklift scales for any industrial application; ideal for high-speed logistics settings
Crane Scales/Monorail: Performance- and safety-based overhead weighing systems; unlimited setup options
Loadcells: Standard and custom-engineered options; custom mounts and adapter plates also available
Peripherals: Printers, remote displays, wireless communication, RFID readers, networking, barcode readers, cameras, and much more
TRUCK & RAIL SCALES
Gerhart is expert in every aspect of truck and rail car weighing—we will work with you to determine the long-term solution best suited to your location and goals.
Above-Ground Scales: The most common choice in heavy-duty vehicle weighing; options range from steel to concreate deck
Pit Scales: At-grade weighing reduces scale footprint when real estate needs to be conserved
Axle Scales: A quick and relatively inexpensive solution when individual axle weights are needed or a full-size truck can’t be utilized; both static and dynamic applications
Portable Scales: Steel decked scales (any size) that can be easily broken down and moved; legal for trade for up to 6 months in most states
Rail Scales (Legal for Trade): We work with rail engineering companies, local railroads, and State W&M to ensure the right system for your application, considering rail space, soil bearing, overhead obstacles, rail car sizes, and combo rail/trucks
Rail Scales (Non-Legal for Trade): When optimizing rail car weights in a non-NTEP application, weigh-rails are a great solution; can be used in static applications and purchased in both singe and full draft configurations
Kiosks: Standalone or fully networked custom kiosk solutions including HMI/printer systems that can tie into your existing ticketing software
Accessories: IP cameras, traffic gates, loop detectors, photo eyes, traffic lights, intercoms, printers, remote displays, radiation detectors, guardrails, stairs, handrails, concrete work, and more
