We recommend calibration frequency based on your specific usage and environment. For scales used heavily or in challenging conditions, we suggest monthly or quarterly calibration. Our flexible ISO 9001-compliant calibration service can be tailored to your needs, whether you prefer one-time visits or a regular service contract. We provide detailed certificates with pre- and post-service readings to ensure your equipment's accuracy and compliance.
We advise our customers to consider the "Three Rs":
- Range: What are your maximum and minimum weighing needs?
- Readability: How precise do your measurements need to be?
- Requirements: Are there specific environmental, connectivity, or compliance needs?

Choosing the Right Animal Scales
Selecting the best animal scale depends on the environment and the type of animal being weighed. Consider the following factors:
Comfort
- Small Tabletop Scales – Ideal for pets and small animals. Many models come with optional curved pans, similar to baby scales, to help contain movement and ensure comfort.
- Floor-Mounted Scales – Suitable for medium to large animals, these scales should have a low-level platform for easy access. Adding a non-slip mat can improve stability and safety.
- Farm Scales – For livestock weighing, choose scales with safe entry and exit gates and optional ramps to facilitate smooth and stress-free movement.
Hold Function
Animals often move while being weighed, causing fluctuating readings. The Hold function ensures a stable, accurate weight measurement even when the animal won’t stay still.
Tare Function
The Tare button allows users to deduct the weight of additional items placed on the platform, such as blankets, carriers, or restraint devices, ensuring only the animal’s weight is recorded.
