Common Scale Problems We Fix
- A scale accidentally put into calibration mode, or set up with the wrong settings
- Readings that drift, jump, or change when the load moves on the pan
- A scale that drifts off zero or returns to the wrong zero
- Error codes and overload messages
- Blank, dim or flickering displays and dead keypads
- Batteries that lose their charge quickly, and failed AC adapters
- Load cells worn out by heavy use, or crushed, water-damaged and overloaded
- Cut or crushed cables between the platform and the indicator
- Communication faults with printers, PCs and POS systems
Three faults account for most of our repair calls: a scale accidentally switched into calibration mode or changed to the wrong settings, a load cell that gives out after heavy use, and a cable that gets cut. We reset the settings and recalibrate, or replace the failed load cell or cable from parts we stock.

Industrial Scale Repair in Houston, TX
Floor, pallet, platform and crane scales take the hardest knocks: forklift impacts, overloads, washdowns and shock loads. On-site, our technicians trace the fault through the indicator, cable, junction box and each load cell, run corner and span checks, and replace damaged parts from stock, such as the GX-1-20K-LE load cell or an LP7515 indicator. They carry certified test weights with them, so the repaired scale is recalibrated before we leave. For scheduled testing of plant and warehouse scales, see industrial scale calibration in Houston.
Our industrial scale repair in Houston reaches distribution centers, plants and yards across the metro; a recent job was a floor scale and livestock scale kit at a major logistics center near IAH. Forklift and loader scales are installed, repaired and calibrated on-site too.
Crane Scale Repair in Houston
Crane and hanging scales take shock loads, overloads and drops, and most run on rechargeable batteries. We repair all brands and types of crane and hanging scales, in our Cypress shop or on-site: load cells, displays and keypads, batteries and chargers, and the settings. On-site, our technicians bring their own test weights, so the crane scale is recalibrated after the repair. For routine testing, see industrial scale calibration. Need a crane scale while yours is in the shop? See crane scale rental.
Balance and Precision Scale Repair Service
Analytical, precision and jewelry balances are usually repaired on the bench in our Cypress shop, where a stable room lets us check repeatability, linearity and corner load after the fix. Each balance can go home with an in-house or NIST-traceable certificate; see balance calibration.
