Floor scales tend to get used far more and far rougher in Fort McMurray than they might in other cities in or around Alberta. When your current floor scale is out of commission for good, it’s time to look at what you could get out of your next floor scale. Industries such as oil and gas need top-quality, durable scales that will deliver their money’s worth. Are you on the hunt for your next scale? Find out what qualities should be on your radar below.
High Capacity Load Scales
Higher capacity load scales can help prevent shock loading, a common reason why floor scales incur damage. Shock loading occurs when the load is not properly lowered onto the scale and is instead dropped from a distance significant enough to cause damage to the load cells. This often happens when workers are rushed, reckless, or too tired for proper protocol. Scales like the Accurate Scale Extreme-Duty Platform Scale take into consideration human error, increasing the load scale capacity to help alleviate the amount of shock loading that may occur.
NTEP Approved
NTEP, or National Type Evaluation Program, is a type of certification that floor scales can have. The NTEP certification ensures the capacity, accuracy, and effects of temperature fluctuations on the scale fall within government regulations. Not every scale has an NTEP certification and is, therefore, not legal for trade. In regulated industries like oil and gas, legal trade certifications are essential.

Finding a floor scale with higher-end electrical components can significantly reduce the need for routine maintenance.
