The platform is made up of two of what we call “pontoons”, (the parts that hold the scales) plus bridges between pontoons and ramps to get up onto them. The pontoons are constructed entirely of rivetted and bonded top grade 6061 t6 aluminum that because of its high alloy constent is very stiff and tough. There are endcaps on the pontoons made of polished 316 stainless steel that are both durable and good looking. We have platforms available in both 2″ or 4″ inch high versions to suit most scales. Each 2″ pontoon weighs 60 lbs. and have six leveling feet that are cadmium plated 3/4″ unc thread with swivel bases and socket drive tops. The bridges and ramps are standard at 2″ x 4″ which together as a package weigh 70 lbs. Optional 2″ x 6″ bridges and ramps are available. We have designed the platform to accept 2800 lbs. with no appreciable deflection or distortion and it can be configured to a wide variety of cars.
