Commercial Shipping Scale Calibration and Repair
Was your shipping scale rejected or placed out of service by County Weights and Measures?
Inland Industrial Scale provides on-site testing, calibration, repair, and legal-for-trade service for commercial shipping scales throughout Southern California. We help shipping stores address rejected scales and maintain accurate equipment before the next county inspection.
We have hands-on experience servicing scales used by UPS, The UPS Store, FedEx, USPS, independent mail centers, warehouses, and commercial shipping operations.
Has the County Tagged Your Shipping Scale?
A rejection or out-of-service tag means the scale cannot continue to be used as directed by the county inspector. The notice should identify the reported problem or the reason the device was rejected.
Common causes include:
- Inaccurate weight readings
- Failed shift or corner-load testing
- Unstable or fluctuating indications
- Damaged cables, connectors, platforms, or load cells
- Mechanical interference or debris beneath the platform
- Missing or damaged security seals
- Improper installation or leveling
- A scale that is not approved or suitable for commercial use
We can inspect the scale, identify the cause, complete adjustments or repairs, test it using certified standards, apply required security seals, and complete placed-in-service reporting when applicable.
A photo of the tag or inspection notice can help us understand the reported problem before the service visit. Do not remove or alter an official county tag yourself.
Why Does a Shipping Scale Need Service?
A commercial shipping scale is used to determine the package weight entered into a shipping transaction. A scale may appear to work normally while still producing inaccurate results at certain weights or platform positions.
Accuracy can be affected by everyday use, including packages being dropped onto the platform, debris beneath the scale, damaged wiring, platform interference, changes in leveling, or gradual calibration drift.
Routine service can help:
- Identify problems before a county inspection
- Reduce unexpected interruption to shipping operations
- Prevent incorrect package weights and billing corrections
- Maintain required security seals and service identification
- Document when the scale was tested and how it performed
- Identify equipment that should be repaired or replaced
