The Scale Services Wingfield Brings To Your Table
At Wingfield, we know scale service is kind of like the heartbeat of critical operations.
Think about it. A scale that’s even slightly off is like a heart skipping a beat—it throws off everything downstream.
Inventory counts? Wrong. Production runs? Delayed. Costs? Skyrocketing.
Let’s break down our scale services and how they address the most critical needs of your business, so you can operate more efficiently:
Scale Calibration Services:
Firstly, we offer certified scale calibration services that guarantee your equipment runs precisely.
Scale calibration is important.
Why exactly?
According to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), calibration can actually push technology to the cutting edge and make your processes run more optimally.
It can also help your business improve product quality and maximize efficiency.
Here’s why we can guarantee high-quality calibration, so your business can run faster, easier, and better:
- Harness NIST-Traceable Load Testing: With over 150,000 lbs. of different certified test weights, we conduct dynamic and high-capacity load testing to ensure your scales meet industry standards. This process guarantees your equipment’s precision under real-world conditions. Awesome, right?
- ISO 17025 Accreditation: As a pioneer in achieving ISO 17025 accreditation before any other scale company in the United States, we adhere to rigorous calibration standards and guarantee your equipment performs at its best.
- Get Custom Calibration Plans: Regular calibration schedules tailored to your industry needs help prevent costly errors and keep your operations running smoothly.
Additional Insight about our scale certifications:
ISO 17025 accreditation is a mark of trust. For industries like food production or pharmaceuticals, this accreditation guarantees that every measurement meets stringent quality requirements. With Wingfield, you exceed expectations with precision because we’re ISO certified. We keep the highest standards (learn more about all our accreditations on our certification page here).
Scale Repair Services
Second, besides offering scale calibration services with trusted accreditations, we also will repair your scales back to tip-top functionality if one breaks down or stops working as it should.
Look, we know a problematic scale can be a big pain; the resulting downtime can suck you dry for tens of thousands of dollars.
Our scale repair solutions focus on minimizing disruptions and restoring your scales quickly, so you can maintain your work (…without flaring tempers and boiling blood).
Here’s how it works:
- Leverage Our Factory-Trained Technicians: Skilled in diagnostics and repair across diverse industries, our trained technicians provide top-notch service for all types of scales no matter your situation!

- 100% Genuine Replacement Parts: We only use manufacturer-approved components to extend the life of your scales and ensure optimal performance.
But, don’t just take our word for it.
Here’s what one of our clients had to say:
Real-World Example of Why Scale Repair Matters:
Consider a high-capacity truck scale used at a logistics hub. A faulty load cell might lead to discrepancies in weight records. It can delay shipments and frustrate clients. Our factory-trained technicians diagnose and repair these issues on-site, so your operations can quickly resume.

Scale Calibration Service vs. Scale Repair: What’s the Difference?
Scale Calibration
Calibrating your scales is the process of comparing a scale’s measurements to a known standard to ensure it provides accurate and consistent readings.
It’s a critical step in maintaining precision and compliance across industries.
In other words, calibration is all about prevention. It keeps your scales accurate, reliable, and compliant with industry standards.
But you might be asking, “How often should I calibrate my scales?”
Great question! The answer depends on how heavily your scales are used.
For high-use equipment, you might need calibration quarterly or even monthly. For less demanding environments, a semi-annual or annual calibration plan usually works just fine.
Beyond accuracy, routine calibration is crucial for staying compliant with ISO standards and NIST requirements. Think of it as a small investment to avoid big headaches later—like failed audits, product recalls, or unhappy clients.
Scale Repair
When it comes to repairs, things can get a bit trickier. Calibration prevents issues, but repairs fix problems that have already started showing up.
So, how do you know if it’s time for a repair?
Look for signs like fluctuating readings, error messages, or even visible physical damage to your scale.
These are clear indicators that something’s off.
Repairing your scale isn’t just about getting it back to working order—it’s about restoring it to 100% functionality.
Proper repairs can also extend your equipment’s lifespan, saving you from the cost and hassle of unexpected replacements.
The takeaway? If your scale starts acting up, don’t ignore it—get it fixed.
