Floor scales are one of the most critical measuring instruments for every manufacturing or distribution operation. These devices weigh and measure a facility’s ingredients, components and products, sometimes having the ability to weigh items over 50,000 pounds. Industrial floor scales are much more durable than a typical weighing instrument because they need to withstand constant movement and the significant pressure of heavy and bulky objects.
Depending on an operation’s unique needs, floor scales can perform various functions, including measuring properties like volume, density and pressure. Many instruments have features to help maximize process efficiency, including automatic data logging and wireless capabilities.
Basic floor scales are limited to measuring weight and typically hold items up to 20,000 pounds. Heavy-capacity floor scales accommodate much larger masses and include bolt down plates for load cell feet or load cell lower receiver cups to handle objects exceeding 50,000 pounds. High-precision floor scales are ideal for operations requiring minimal division sizes with tight tolerances.

Since 1975, Garber Metrology has sold, installed, serviced and calibrated floor scales for clients across the mid-Atlantic region. Our professionals have decades of combined experience helping businesses choose the most practical, accurate and efficient instruments. Whether you require a standard floor scale, low-profile scale or heavy-capacity scale, we’re a single source for all your needs.
Choosing the best floor scale for your operation depends on factors like how you will load the device, your maximum and minimum weights, the physical properties of the objects you weigh and the required accuracy. The wrong equipment can decrease your production quality, jeopardize your facility’s safety and increase the chance of a compliance issue.
Scale calibration involves verifying an instrument’s accuracy by performing various tests and comparing the results with accepted industry standards. Scale calibration services from Garber Metrology include verifying the accuracy of the scale, data analysis, and if needed the necessary repairs to bring your device to acceptable service levels.
Without regular calibration, continuous use will prevent a scale from operating efficiently and accurately. In addition, electrical overloads, extreme temperatures and physical damage can significantly impact a scale’s performance. Professional calibration ensures your floor scales work optimally and deliver results with minimal deviation from industry standards.
