Preparing your rail scales for the cold Canadian winters is a great method to prolong their lifecycle. As we head into the fall season, the best way to ensure your equipment will work properly throughout the next season is to know how to operate it in winter. The accuracy of your scales is our priority: Accurate Scale only sells the best of the best.
Let’s talk about how you can optimize your Accurate Scale products over the next few cold months.
How to Winterize Your Scales
Winterizing your scales is not as labour-intensive as you may think. No extra products must be purchased—the most important thing you can do with your scale is to ensure snow is regularly removed from the scales. We recommend cleaning your scales regularly to remove dirt and debris, but take extra care to watch for ice or snow buildup around the rail scale. Be careful not to damage your rail scales when cleaning.
Keep up with your maintenance throughout the year as recommended to ensure it’s at its peak performance going into the season change. Before it begins to snow, book your scale calibration services so that you know you’re starting the winter with accurate readings.
When scale cells get cold, you may experience the readings drift. Weekly inspections can tell you whether or not you need to recalibrate your rail scale. Remember that when you are inspecting your scales, check the area surrounding the scale as well.
