Mettler Toledo

Mettler Toledo is one of the largest weighing companies in the world, headquartered in Greifensee, Switzerland and Columbus, Ohio, with instruments in labs, plants and shipping rooms worldwide. At MNM Scales the Mettler Toledo line we stock centers on the BC series bench scales, the 150 lb shipping scales that many carriers and e-commerce sellers standardize on. MNM Scales owns the inventory on our shelves in Cypress, TX, every Mettler Toledo scale ships free nationwide, and our TDA-Registered Technicians calibrate and service them in our shop, by mail or on-site across the Houston area.

For a side-by-side of the BC-60, BC6L and PS60 models and how to choose a shipping scale, see our Mettler Toledo category page. This page covers the brand, the current in-stock models and the service behind them.

Calibration and service for Mettler Toledo scales

A shipping scale that bills customers by weight is a commercial device, and in Texas it must be an NTEP model placed in service. For any Mettler Toledo shipping scale, calibration before shipping is available on request (paid service tiers), done in our Cypress, TX shop. Pricing is set by the scale’s maximum capacity:

A scale whose capacity is exactly at a tier limit uses the lower tier.

The 150 lb BC models fall in the 35–150 kg tier. Our TDA-Registered Technicians service all scale classes and can calibrate and place your scale in service on-site. Learn more about scale calibration in Houston and our mail-in calibration option for customers outside the area.

Mettler Toledo brand FAQ

Where is Mettler Toledo based?

Mettler Toledo has dual headquarters in Greifensee, Switzerland and Columbus, Ohio, and makes laboratory, industrial and retail weighing equipment.

Is the BC-60U legal for trade?

The NTEP BC-60U models are legal for trade once placed in service, which makes them a good fit when shipping charges are based on weight.

Which top should I choose?

A stainless flat top suits most parcels. A ball top makes it easier to slide heavy cartons across the scale on a packing line.

What replaced the Mettler Toledo PS60?

Mettler Toledo designed the BC series as the drop-in replacement for the PS60. The BC-60U keeps the 150 lb x 0.05 lb rating and NTEP approval and connects over USB or RS-232.

Does the BC-60U work with shipping software?

Yes. The BC series works with UPS WorldShip, FedEx Ship Manager and DHL EasyShip, and the BC-60U includes both USB and RS-232 cables.

Can you calibrate a Mettler Toledo scale I already own?

Yes. Send it to our Cypress, TX shop through our calibration by mail service, or book an on-site visit in the Houston area.
