Build Your own platform scale for Weighing Racing Go Karts. Our kit includes all the weighing components that you would need. You just need to supply the platform, ramps, and the labor. This kit is based on the typical platform that folks try to build which is usually 7' x 4' or 7' x 5' approximately. However, you can build it to match your typical kart sizes.
Although go-karts dimensions vary, the racing variety of kart chassis standard measurements are often somewhere around 78" long and 52" wide. Most common platform scales do not accommodate that size and the ones that do are usually custom built scales which can be expensive.
Once you build your scale and install the components and any ramps you might need... then it would be time to setup the weight indicator. Typical maximum capacity that customers choose when setting up the system is usually either: 1000 x 0.2 lb or 2000 x 0.5 lb.
The build your own go kart weighing platform scale kit includes the following: (1) LCD Weight Indicator powered by 110VAC and/or rechargeable battery, (1) Interface Cable, (1) 4 Cell Junction Box with Summing Board, (4) 1K Load Cells, (4) Mounting Hardware, and (4) Leveling Feet.
This weighing kit consists of everything you need to build your own scale (except the platform & ramps). Good quality weighing components with an affordable price tag. Please keep in mind the picture above is an example of what you're getting.
For comparison sake, if you were to buy a large industrial platform scale for weighing go karts that race at your race track, the cost could be well over $5000... and, that's based on a 7 x 5 size floor scale with a couple of ramps to drive the kart on the scale and then off the other side.
These numbers above are another example of how it's sometimes better to buy the components and build the scale yourself. It will take some labor and materials, but you could save thousands of dollars!
