What should you look for in a load cell or weighing module assembly?

Choosing the right Rice Lake load cell or weigh module means considering your specific work environment and loading conditions. With these factors in mind, Rice Lake Weighing Systems has engineered a comprehensive line of weigh modules, offering over 20 different mounting styles—far more than many companies, which tend to focus on just a few. Our load cells, crafted to the highest standards, pair seamlessly with these mounts, providing a complete, ready-to-use solution along with dependable support to ensure everything works smoothly.

The variety of Rice Lake weigh modules can leave you wondering about the differences between models and which one best fits your needs. To make it easier, we group our weigh modules into three main applications: Suspended Weighing, Vessel Weighing, and Truck Scale Weighing.
