Innovation Description and Benefit:

The Sander Calibration Scale is designed to ensure precise calibration of sanders for winter operations, reducing material waste and saving costs. This tool accurately measures the weight of salt during the calibration process and quickly attaches to the forks of any equipment. Its quick-release dump door allows the machine to lift and carry the weight effortlessly. Operators remain safely inside the cab during calibration, away from moving hydraulic parts, and communicate via handheld radio with a coworker in the truck cab to report and record weights. This innovation improves safety, simplifies the calibration process, and ensures accurate material application for efficient winter maintenance.
