Buying a truck scale is a significant investment, and thus needs careful consideration. With more than 42 years of industry knowledge, AAA Weigh understands every step of the engineering and manufacturing process it takes to create quality truck scales. Here are some of the most important aspects to take into account when purchasing a truck scale.

Advanced Technology

When it comes to truck scales, many manufacturers seem to be hesitant to adopt the latest technology advancements as quickly as they occur. You want a scale that has the best digital technology the market has to offer, especially when considering remote management, diagnostic capabilities to reduce downtime, and ability to upgrade software in the future.

Some truck scales on the market allow you to gain total insight into the scale’s performance so you can effectively service it on time. Some are equipped with a cloud-based monitoring platform so you can access valuable data from anywhere, anytime. Decide which features will make your life easier and choose the scale to match wisely.

Superior Design

The design of the truck scale has a big impact on its longevity. Quality truck scales are made from steel that’s coated with a protective layer of special paint to ward off corrosion and rust. The scale should also have protections against environmental factors like lightning and heavy rain to prevent outages, as well as measures to prevent rodent and moisture damage.

Ideally, you should not need to change the way you operate to make a default-sized truck scale work. Find a supplier that has a team of engineers who can design and build a scale to fit your unique needs. If you want to save money, look no further than AAA Weigh, where your scale can be retrofitted to fit your space.

Timely Maintenance

If the truck scale you choose takes a lot of time to get back in shape during maintenance, it’s going to cause major bottlenecks in your operations. A good scale is easy to clean (so it increases uptime) and easy to service (so it minimizes downtime).

Just make sure you research the track record of the manufacturer to confirm that you will have parts availability for the entire lifespan of the scale. This will help prevent expensive upgrades when OEMs change the design of the parts or scale as a whole.

At AAA Weigh, all of our technicians are not only licensed to calibrate truck scales in California, but they also undergo regular factory training to improve the efficiency and quality of their workmanship.

Warranty

Choose a partner who provides a rock-solid warranty on the truck scale so you are covered when your purchase needs repairs or new parts. Any authorized distributor worth their salt will cover travel expenses, labor, and even repairs caused by electrical surges and lightning. Before you buy the truck scale, confirm with the distributor that all of its components are warranted and that replacement components are brand new, not refurbished.
