This video discusses the top 5 Tips for Accurate Scale Readings. There are a few things you can do to make sure your scale is working properly year round.

NUMBER 1:  Use the Correct Type of Scale for your Application.
There are many different types of scales. Make sure you are using the correct one for your application. For example, sure you can use a 2 foot by 2 foot platform scale to weigh large pallets. But a better and safer choice would be a 4 foot by 4 foot platform scale that's actually designed to weigh regular size pallets.

NUMBER 2:  Use the Scale on a Level Surface.
It is important to make sure your scale is sitting on a level surface before you attempt to weigh anything. If the scale is not level, many devices have a spirit level and adjustable feet to assist with this task.

NUMBER 3: Check the Scale for Accuracy and Have it Calibrated on a Regular Basis.
To ensure accurate readings, you should check your scale on a regular basis. You can do this by purchasing a test weight from us. Depending on usage and other factors, most scales need to be calibrated several times a year at a minimum. You can visit Central Carolina Scale.com to setup your calibration visit.

NUMBER 4: Check and Clean Around and Under your Scale Regularly.
If your scale is not clean, it can give you inaccurate readings. Dirt, dust, and other debris can build up under and around the scale platform. Carefully clean under and around your platform scales and truck scales periodically for best results.

NUMBER 5: Periodically Do a Visual Inspection of Your Scales.
Sometimes a simple walk around your scale is all you need to do from time to time. You could find a damaged power cord. You could observe that your floor scale is shoved against the wall and not reading correctly. You could observe that your scale operators are not using the scale correctly.
