Thurman Scale Celebrates 100 Years

Thurman Scale是超重能力越野车的专家，正在庆祝100年成功的产品和行业创新。除了强调上世纪的成就外，瑟曼自豪地继续推动越野车和称重行业的创新。该公司上个月举行了百年赛事，以纪念佛罗里达州朗船（Longboat Key）的里程碑成就。

From a machining company founded in 1918 in Columbus, OH, Thurman grew quickly by taking advantage of easy access to major transportation routes, such as the Ohio and Erie Canals and nearby highways. Thurman was purchased in 1940 by engineer and entrepreneur Millard M. Cummins, who expanded the business to include scale production. Thurman added a batching scale in 1946, followed by the first Thurman motor vehicle scale in 1948. These rugged, high-quality scale designs proved a perfect fit for the weighing needs of the interstate highway building program of the 1960s, and the coal industry “boom years” from the early 1970s into the 1980s.

到1960年，瑟曼（Thurman）已多样化，在地面和坑式卡车尺度，车轴负载尺度，横梁和拨号尺度以及专门为料斗和坦克，牲畜，仓库和叉车设计的鳞片中生产出可移植的，轴负载尺度，横梁和拨号秤。

几十年来，瑟曼（Thurman）从其在哥伦布的制造工厂生产了比例性产品，不断改善其标准尺度产品和定制设计的越野车尺度。1995年，康明斯一家将瑟曼量表卖给了堪萨斯城的北欧市，这是费尔班克斯秤的所有者。

Under the ownership of Bill Norden, and the management of long time Thurman salesman Neil Copley, Thurman headquarters remained in Columbus. Since then, Thurman Scale has continued its dedication to producing quality weighing equipment, recently updating its rail scale line and launching such new user-friendly instruments as the TS3200 Series and TS600 Series.

“The entire team is thrilled by the success the Thurman Scale brand has achieved,” says Rick Norden, owner of Fairbank Scales.
