Weighbridge & Scale Calibration Service
It’s vital to have your weighbridge regularly calibrated and ideally, checks should be carried out every 12 months. Remember – as an owner of a trade weighbridge, you have a legal responsibility to ensure it is maintained within legal tolerances.
Calibrating your weighbridge or scale is crucial to ensuring your equipment is providing the correct weighing data – uncalibrated weighing equipment can vastly change your weighing data, and cause issues further down the line.
If you need your weighing equipment calibrating, contact our team to arrange a site visit.
Weighbridge Calibration
We supply and install surface mounted and pit mounted weighbridges for farms and agricultural businesses across the UK – if your weighbridge has not been services for more than 12 months, it will most likely need to be recalibrated.
Inaccurate weighbridges can:
- Make you liable to prosecution and fines
- Result in Trading Standards closing down your weighbridge
- Cost you money through lost revenue
- Affect your customer relations
- Cause overloading of trailers and lorries
Scale Calibration
We also supply and install various weigh scales for livestock and grain weighing, and can provide calibration for new scales, and recalibration for existing scales. If your scale has not had a service for over 12 months, it will also likely need a calibration.

Pre-harvest Weighbridge Calibration
To maintain your weighbridge’s performance, we offer farmers a special discounted pre-harvest calibration check. This ensures your weighbridge will provide accurate and legal weight measurements throughout your busiest period and through to the following year. The test is carried out using our specialist calibration vehicle and will check the important parameters of your scale. After the test we will issue you with a certificate of compliance.
Please contact us for details on our pre-harvest weighbridge calibration offer and our service-support capabilities. We carry out weighbridge calibrations in accordance with the UK Weighing Federation’s Calibration Code of Practice, which lays down the clear legislative guidelines for the calibration process of legal for trade weighbridges and scales.
