Error Error

Your truck scale could be doing the same thing even if it is certified legal for trade by your local weights and measures authority.

Legal accuracy tolerances allow more weighing error than most scale owners realize. Businesses give away entire truckloads of goods each year due to scale errors that are within the legal range.

Do you know how accurate your scale is?

Are legal-for-trade accuracies good enough for your business?

Calibrations ensure the scale weighs within anaccuracy tolerance range

Calibrations keep the scale “in tolerance” but notnecessarily “on target”

Do your truck scales meet legal-for-trade accuracyrequirements with regular calibrations?

Accurate enough for legal for trade?

Legal-for-Trade Accuracy Tolerances

Example:

100 trucks per day / scale weighing 40 kg. (88 lb.) over per load.

How would you feel if your bank subtracted 10 cents from every $100 you deposited?

Chances are you would be furious because over time this would add up to a measurable loss. It would also be illegal.
