Choosing a scale

Is it wireless, battery powered or able to connect to a computer?

It depends on the model; each product page lists power and connections when they apply. See wireless scales, or call 800-711-2237.

Can it print weight tickets?

Many of our scales offer a ticket printer as an upgrade. Look for it under upgrades on the product page, or call 800-711-2237.

Can it be used outside or get wet?

It depends on the model. Many scales offer a water-resistant upgrade, and our stainless steel scales are washdown safe. See washdown safe scales.

Will it fit my space, pallet or truck?

Every product page lists the platform size. Pick a platform bigger than what you put on it. Not sure it fits? Call 800-711-2237 and we will check it with you.

How accurate is it?

It depends on the model. Readability is the smallest step the scale shows, and every product page lists it; many scales offer finer readability as an option. Compare scales in the full catalog.

Will it weigh animals that move?

It depends on the scale. Our livestock scales are built for animals; the product page lists each model’s features. Tell us what you weigh and we will match the scale: 800-711-2237.

Can you build a custom scale?

Yes. USA Measurements builds custom scales to your design, in mild steel, carbon steel, aluminum or stainless steel, with a range of capacity and accuracy options. Custom features include software, apps, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, 4-20mA output, Bluetooth and relay output. Call 800-711-2237 to talk it through.

Are your scales made in the USA?

We offer USA made scales, but not all of our scales are made in the USA. See our American Made scales.

Is the capacity per pad or for the whole system?

The capacity shown is the total for the whole system. For example, a 50,000 lb system with 2 pads is 25,000 lb per pad.

Legal for trade (NTEP)

What does NTEP or legal for trade mean? Do I need it?

If you buy or sell by weight, you need an NTEP-approved, legal-for-trade scale. A non-NTEP scale is for internal weighing. Every product page says which it is. See legal for trade scales.

What do NTEP approved, legal for trade, COC and NIST mean?
  • NTEP approved: the National Type Evaluation Program certifies that a scale meets the standards set by the National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM). NTEP approved scales can be used where products are bought or sold by weight.
  • Legal for trade: the scale meets the rules for commercial use, where the weight sets the price. These scales are typically NTEP approved.
  • COC (Certificate of Conformance): the NTEP document certifying that the scale model passed its evaluation.
  • NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology): sets the US standards for weights and measures. Scales calibrated to NIST standards are checked against national benchmarks.

Questions? Call 800-711-2237 or email sales@usameasurements.com.

Setup and calibration

How is it installed?

It depends on the scale. On-site installation, calibration and repair are available through 75+ service partners across the USA. See scale service. For a truck scale, request a quote and we will go over your site with you.

Does it come calibrated? How often should it be calibrated?

You can add a calibration certificate to your order: a signed report showing the scale tested accurate. How often to calibrate depends on how hard the scale works and on what your state or auditor requires. Generally, calibrate at least once a year; high precision or heavy use may need it more often. Book calibration.

Are there setup instructions or videos?

Yes. Many product pages include setup videos and manuals. Need one that is not there? Email sales@usameasurements.com or use the live chat and we will send it.

Service and parts

Can I get a replacement part for my scale?

Yes. Find your part by scale model, or call 800-711-2237 and we will find it for you.

How can I contact customer support?

Call 800-711-2237, email sales@usameasurements.com, or use the live chat on our website, Monday to Friday.

Returns and warranty

How long is the warranty?

Each product page lists the warranty for that scale. Every order also gets 30-day returns and free lifetime tech support from our US-based team.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 30-day return policy from the date of purchase. If your product is defective or arrives dead on arrival, we will either issue a full refund, including shipping costs, or provide a replacement, whichever you prefer. For non-defective returns, a restocking fee of 10 to 20% may apply, along with return shipping costs, depending on the returned product condition. We cannot take returns on heavily used products or products damaged by customer use. After 30 days, any concerns are handled under the manufacturer’s warranty. Read the full return policy.

How do I start a return or exchange?

Email sales@usameasurements.com with your order number and a copy of your receipt. We will send you an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number and the next steps.

How long does a refund take?

Once we receive your returned item and it passes inspection, we typically process refunds within 1 to 3 business days. The time it takes to appear in your account depends on your payment method or bank. To check on a return, email sales@usameasurements.com.

What if my order arrives damaged or defective?

Contact us right away at sales@usameasurements.com or call 800-711-2237. We will arrange a prompt replacement or a full refund, including shipping costs. Please keep all packaging and documents, as they may be needed for the return.

How do I make a warranty claim?
  1. Email sales@usameasurements.com with your order number and a description of the issue. Pictures and videos speed it up.
  2. Have your receipt or proof of purchase ready.
  3. If we ask, return the product to 4445 Harmon Cove Ct, Suite 7, Las Vegas, NV 89103. You cover shipping unless we say otherwise, and a refund needs an RMA number.
  4. Once we receive it, we inspect it and let you know, typically within 2 business days.

The warranty does not cover misuse, accidents, unauthorized changes or normal wear and tear.
