Yes It does have a pivot point so the plate always sits level on the scale. It has a bolt that has two nuts jammed together keeping the bolt from clamping it.
Just noticed the plate on the scale should have a pivot joint, to prevent binding when the arm from the hydraulic motor rotates. It will not be much but it could throw off the readings quite a bit. The arm will tend to tip the plate with a solid joint causing uneven loading.
This thing is GREAT! Have you run it?
