FAQs – Scale Calibration, Repair & Maintenance

Our technicians service scales in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri and Nebraska.

Yes! Call us at 515-495-5759 for more information.

Yes. We service most industrial scale brands.

On-site calibration presents its own set of challenges. Here are a couple of points to consider when choosing a company.

  • How environmental interference is handled during the testing process, such as vibrations, air drafts and temperature fluctuations that can affect the calibration process.
  • Full capacity vs. substitution loading for truck scales. Substitution loading (using gravel or water) is less accurate. RMH has its own test truck and NIST-traceable certified weights to accurately test your truck scale’s full range.
  • Shift tests to ensure the scale reads the same regardless of where the load is placed.
  • Safety and compliance, including insurance and safety training protocols.
  • Ability to perform repairs if a scale fails. Even if we didn’t install it, RMH technicians can repair a wide range of industrial scales, including truck scales, floor scales, and high-speed checkweighers.
  • Easy access to calibration history paperwork. 

Some common sights your scale needs to be calibrated include:

  • Failure to zero
  • Customer weight disputes
  • Warnings from inspections
  • Visible structural damage (for truck scales)

Most industrial scales should be calibrated annually. Truck scales or scales used in high-volume operations may need more frequent service.

While calibration depends heavily on the scale type, size and condition, we can typically complete standard calibrations within a few hours or sooner to avoid excessive downtime. Ask us for more information about your specific situation.

In addition to required calibration services, we recommend regular truck scale inspections to check for structural, electrical, and load cell issues. This helps you avoid unexpected, costly downtime.

If your scale failed inspection, it may need to be repaired and recalibrated before being returned to legal-for-trade service. Our scale technicians can diagnose these types of issues and help you restore compliance quickly.

Yes, and this is particularly applicable for outdoor truck scales. These are some of the factors that impact accuracy:

  • Extreme temperature changes
  • Moisture
  • Lightning
  • Foundation settling
  • Heavy traffic

Winter weather also presents its own set of challenges for truck scales in the Midwest. Heavy snow under the snow can create false weigh readings and restrict the movement of the scale bridge.

Yes, we do. Contact us for more information.

Industries that buy or sell materials based on their weight—commonly aggregates, agriculture, recycling, waste or manufacturing—typically need legal-for trade scales.

These scales must meet regulatory standards for commercial transactions based on weight.

We provide calibration documentation and service records to support compliance and inspection readiness.

NIST-traceable calibration means the test weights and procedures used during calibration are documented and traceable to national measurement standards.

This ensures accuracy for both legal-for-trade and industrial applications, such as:

  • ISO-certified facilities
  • Quality control systems
  • Internal audits
  • Production accuracy standards
  • Customer contract requirements

We provide calibration documentation and service records to support compliance and inspection readiness.
