A reliable weighbridge is crucial for accurate measurements in logistics, industry and agriculture, among other sectors. Whether you weigh for internal control or for trade use, correct verification and calibration of your weighbridge is essential. At Weighing Experts we make sure your weighbridge always weighs accurately.


What is the difference between verification and calibration?

Verification of a weighbridge is a legal requirement when you use the system for trade. It takes place when the system is first put into service. We supply scales verified from the factory; the initial verification is carried out by the manufacturer. With this verification your weighbridge complies with the European directives and may be used for legal-for-trade weighing.

Calibration is a periodic check that measures whether your weighbridge is still operating within the specified tolerances. This is essential for reliable business operations and is often required by quality standards such as ISO 9001. Calibration is not mandatory, but it is strongly recommended.


Professional on-site calibration

At Weighing Experts we carry out calibrations with certified M1 test weights, fully in accordance with the applicable standards. Our technicians come to your site with a specially equipped lorry and forklift to accurately test the full capacity of your weighbridge – up to 70 tonnes or more.

For this we work with renowned partners such as Masslab, our calibration laboratory, which issues the calibration certificates.


Prevent breakdowns with regular maintenance

Regular maintenance of your weighbridge prevents breakdowns, measurement deviations and unplanned downtime. During a service visit we carry out checks including:

  • Checking load cells and indicators

  • Inspection of cabling and electrical connections

  • Checking earthing and connections

  • Cleaning and inspection of mechanical parts

Does the check show that a part needs replacing? Then – where possible – we carry out the necessary repairs straight away.
