Scale Calibration and Assessments
Ensuring your freight’s weight isn’t over maximum load capacity is essential; no one wants to be hit with hefty fines. In Canada, under the Railways Safety Act, individuals can be fined up to $50,000, and corporations can be fined up to $250,000 per violation. This includes penalties for carrying excess loads.
Ensuring your scale is regularly calibrated helps ensure you won’t exceed these limits. Our service staff can calibrate your rail scale to commercial standards using government-tested weights and testing. Contact us to find out more!
