Tradeoffs and relevant alternatives
- If ramps are not required, compare the broader USA Measurements US-MR Reliable floor-scale family.
- Two ramps improve roll-through workflow but require more floor space and a clear approach on both sides.
- NTEP certification does not replace local inspection, sealing, calibration, or placing-in-service requirements for commercial use.

One 48 × 48 in platform, two 48 × 40 in ramps, US-6011MS indicator, 20 ft braided cable, four leveling feet, rechargeable battery, AC adapter, stainless mounting bracket, and manual.
Certification and trade-use status
NTEP status for this package: USA Measurements identifies the US-MR4848-5K two-ramp, 5,000 lb × 1 lb package as NTEP approved/legal for trade. Local weights-and-measures approval, inspection, calibration, and sealing may still be required before commercial use.
Warranty
USA Measurements lists a 5-year warranty for the US-MR4848-5K package and a 2-year warranty for the US-6011MS indicator, subject to written terms.
Shipping & Support
Most orders ship free to the Lower 48 United States. Because the platform and ramps are freight items, Northline will confirm delivery access, liftgate/forklift needs, current lead time, and accessorial charges before fulfillment.
