Hydraulic Tank/Hopper Scales

The Cardinal Guardian Tank and Hopper Mounted Scale Systems are designed to keep weighing accurately even in the harshest conditions and are the most reliable tank and hopper scales on the market. Constructed in 300 series stainless steel, Cardinal's hydraulic load cells are built to last a lifetime and require no electricity within the scale itself. All of this extreme-duty protection means one thing, big savings over the life of your weighing vessels.


Each system is supplied with a totalizer cabinet and 20 ft of copper or optional stainless steel tubing per load cell. Self-checking 3 and 4 stand assemblies are available (Cardinal HBC25-4 pictured here).
