1.1. INTRODUCTION

The Aegis Xtreme-duty Scale is an extremely rugged floor scale, designed for
high capacities and a wide variation of dimensional sizes. This is because of the
additional I-beam supports under the platform that run both along the scale’s “X” and
“Y” axis.

It has an extremely low-profile design. The scale’s floor height is 8 or 9 inches,
depending on the capacity.

The Aegis Xtreme-duty Scale is designed for applications with high load
concentrations.
