Where It Works
One System. Wherever You Weigh.
The WB5040 deploys across warehouses, manufacturing floors, chemical facilities, farms, and job sites, wherever portability and flexibility are the priority.
Drums & Chemicals
Monitor drum contents, track chemical dosing, and weigh barrels and IBCs in wet or corrosive environments. The SWP model's NEMA 4X stainless indicator is designed for chemical handling, food production, and full washdown.
Tanks & Hoppers
Slide beneath process tanks, silos, hoppers, or conveyor supports for portable process weighing with zero permanent installation. Remove and redeploy anywhere in the facility when the job is complete.
Large & Oversized Objects
Weigh oversized loads that can't be transported to a fixed scale: garage doors, HVAC units, prefabricated panels, steel fabrications, and heavy machinery components. At just 3.7 inches high with feet, the system slides under virtually any load-bearing surface.
Livestock & Agriculture
Slide beneath an existing cattle chute or squeeze chute in minutes. EID/RFID compatibility automatically associates animal ID tags with weight readings. NTEP-approved load cells ensure legally accurate records.
Construction & Job Sites
Weigh concrete blocks, steel fabrications, equipment components, and waste loads directly on-site. No fixed scale required. Position the beams at any staging area, loading zone, or material drop point in minutes.
Is It the Right Fit?
The WB5040 Works Where a Floor Scale Can't
Floor scales are the right tool for fixed, high-volume docks. But if your operation involves multiple locations, immovable loads, leased space, or the need to be weighing today, a portable weigh beam system is likely the better fit.
Weigh the load where it sits
Can't move a 3,000 lb drum or a loaded pallet to a fixed scale? The WB5040 slides under any supported load and delivers a certified reading in place, without moving anything.
Operational in under 5 minutes
Position the beams, connect wirelessly, and you're weighing. No pit, no ramp, no contractor, and no facility downtime. Fully deployed by one person from carry bag to first reading.
One system, multiple locations
Move the WB5040 between facilities, job sites, and staging areas without additional equipment. Built-in carry handles make it a one-person relocation with no tools required.
Commercial accuracy, no infrastructure
NTEP-approved load cells and indicator deliver legally traceable weight records for commercial transactions. No concrete work, no permit, and no electrician required.

Why Transcell
Built for Industrial Use. Engineered to Last.
Every specification in the WB5040 is chosen to eliminate downtime, simplify deployment, and perform reliably in demanding environments, cable-free and without permanent installation.
100% Wireless Operation
Bluetooth 2.0 Class I with a 100-meter range. No cables to trip over, snag, or replace. Both beams transmit directly to the indicator.
NTEP-Approved Load Cells
Alloy steel shear beam load cells certified under the National Type Evaluation Program. Legal for commercial trade transactions in the US.
NEMA 4X Stainless (SWP)
The SWP indicator is fully washdown rated and corrosion resistant, purpose built for chemical handling, food production, and wet environments.
Battery Powered
No power outlet required. Beams run on C batteries; AWP uses AA, SWP uses a rechargeable pack. Auto-shutoff extends battery life in the field.
Ultra-Low 3.7″ System Profile
At just 3.7 inches high with feet installed, the system slides beneath virtually any supported load: pallets, drums, tanks, and oversized objects, without ramps or risers.
Auto Weight Capture
Configurable motion detection automatically records stable readings, ideal for livestock, batch processing, and high-throughput weighing operations.
Built-In Carry Handles
Each beam includes an integrated carry handle for single-person transport. Deploy at the loading dock, move to a production line, store flat when done.
RS-232 Data Transfer
Full duplex RS-232 for direct connection to PCs, label printers, or WMS/ERP systems. Internal clock transmits time and date stamp with every reading.
