🧰 Introduction
Your platform weighing scale is the heart of your loading dock, warehouse, or factory. A breakdown can cost time, money, and customer trust.
At Shree Shree Weighing Solutions, we don’t just sell — we support. Here’s your maintenance checklist to make your scale last longer and perform better.
🔧 1. Keep It Clean
Regularly wipe the platform with a dry or slightly damp cloth
For SS platforms, use non-corrosive cleaners
Avoid letting chemicals, acids, or oils settle on the surface
🔍 2. Check Load Cells Periodically
Look for signs of bending, rust, or water damage
Ensure cables are intact and not chewed by rodents
If the display shows weight drift, contact us for a calibration check
🧭 3. Calibrate at Least Once a Year
Use certified weights
Book annual recalibration + legal metrology stamping with us
For high-frequency use, calibrate every 6 months
🏗️ 4. Don't Overload
Even if the scale seems tough, repeated overloading:
Damages load cells
Reduces accuracy
Voids warranties
Always match your platform capacity to your heaviest loads.
⚠️ 5. Keep Electronics Safe
Store the indicator in a dry, shaded area
Use voltage stabilizers in factories with load-shedding issues
Clean indicator screens and buttons regularly
