If your business in central North Carolina depends on pallet scales, lab balances, or weighing something, then hopefully you have some kind of calibration or\u00a0scale service agreement<\/a> in place to calibrate and maintain your scale equipment. If you don’t have a plan, you really need to contact\u00a0Central Carolina Scale\u00a0immediately for a quote. Many times when money is scarce and the economy is unsteady,\u00a0the “plan” a lot of folks try to use is\u00a0merely\u00a0to use your scales until they need to be re-calibrated or repaired. Would you adopt this plan for your car or boat? This plan could work, but you know how it goes… if you don’t get\u00a0your scale checked regularly, the one day you need it most is probably going to be the day the scale\u00a0has some kind of a freak issue. Companies that can’t afford for their scales to be out of comission, usually have them calibrated and \/ or maintained on a regular basis.\u00a0 Scales that are maintained regularly last longer, work better, and break down less often. As part of your maintenance plan, it is popular for scale companies to offer a Service Contract, also known as a\u00a0Service Agreement.\u00a0 It’s a win-win for both parties. Service Agreements can be\u00a0a great\u00a0value for\u00a0three key reasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Consistent Inspections<\/strong> — The first advantage is that your equipment is being checked regularly by someone who understands scales. The Central Carolina Scale Service Tech has a vast amount of experience when it comes to working on various types of scales. Even a\u00a0simple visual check can sometimes reveal current or\u00a0possible future\u00a0problems with your equipment, saving you down time and return service trips.<\/li>\n
  2. Accuracy\u00a0& Calibration<\/strong> — The most important element of a scale check is the\u00a0actual weight test when the scale technician places certified test weights<\/a>\u00a0on to the scale to determine whether or not the item is weighing accurately. If the scale is out of tolerance, a re-calibration is done, helping you maintain accurate weights.<\/li>\n
  3. Fixed Price<\/strong> — Service Agreement prices are lower than standard scale service calls for several reasons. The work being performed is relatively straight forward, travel time is\u00a0being shared by more than one client in some cases, and there are less “surprises” than you would normally see on a brand new job or on a trouble call.\u00a0 So you know\u00a0 how much each visit will cost up front because the work to be done is pre-determined by the service agreement standard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
