How can I extend the life of my equipment?

Routine preventive maintenance and calibration are key. Regular service helps identify issues before they become costly problems and keeps your scales performing accurately over time.

How will I know when it’s time to schedule my service?

If you notice inconsistent readings, unusual performance, or it’s been a while since your last check, it’s a good time to schedule service. We can also help create a personalized maintenance schedule based on your equipment and usage.

How often do I need to service my equipment?

Service frequency depends on usage, environment, and compliance requirements. Many customers opt for annual calibration and maintenance, while high-use environments may benefit from more frequent visits.
