Why warranties matter?
Do you use professional weighing scales? If you do, you’ll know how important it is that they provide a weight reading you can trust.
Not only that, but it’s imperative that the scales you use don’t let you down when you least expect it, leaving you to have to order new scales, and wait for their delivery.
You, like many other companies, may depend on professional weighing scales for your business to function.
So: when you’re buying weighing scales, what factors should you consider to ensure what you do order is reliable, and trustworthy?
Weighing scale warranties
What does a warranty say about a weighing scale? Right Weigh Scale supplies Adam Equipment weighing scales and balances, which have warranties of up to five years. In fact, most of the Adam range is covered by a 5-year warranty.
A long warranty on professional weighing scales shows that the manufacturer trusts their product to last a long time. After all, there’s no point in giving a product a long warranty when it’s likely to break down within weeks or months.
Adam Equipment’s warranties reflect the brand’s belief in their products, and according to their team, extending the length of their warranties back in 2023 was a conscious effort to make this clear to the user.
So, you’ll find rugged industrial scales, sub-milligram analytical balances and everything in-between now available with a 5-year warranty when you order an Adam Equipment product from Right Weigh Scale.
Peace of mind for years to come
A warranty does not guarantee that a weighing scale or balance will not break down at some point. Instead, what it does is tell you that the manufacturer expects the product to last as long as the warranty period as an absolute minimum.
So what does that mean for you, the user? A long warranty means that, should the worst happen, you won’t need to foot the bill for a replacement (as long as the issue is covered by the warranty, of course).
Kinder to the environment
A long warranty suggesting a longer life for a scale means, of course, that the planet benefits. Investing in professional weighing scales or balances from a manufacturer that provides a long warranty means you’ll spend less time relaxing old scales with new. Therefore, there are fewer old scales going to landfill and fewer new scales being manufactured.
Less downtime for your business
How much does your business rely on weighing scales? And how long would you have to wait if one scale stopped working and you had to order another?
Less time spent waiting for one failed scale to be replaced by a new one means less downtime for your business. That, potentially, means less money lost to this downtime.
Plus… Think about brand reputation
When you need to buy professional weighing scales, warranty cover should be a big consideration. Compare warranties between brands – but also, compare company reputation.
If you’re considering buying a reliable scale or balance from Right Weigh Scale, ask about the brands we sell, who uses them, and how often customers return to the same brand.
Check out the brand’s social channels, see what they post about, and also look for reviews online for their products. This will give you a great 360-degree view of the kind of brand they are, and the quality of the products they sell.
Buy the scale that fits your application
Finally… It has to be said that how fit for the job a scale or balance is will make a huge difference to its dependability.
For example, for washdown environments, make sure the scale is IP-certified. If you need a food scale, look both for washdown credentials and NSF compliance. If you need a heavy duty scale for weighing pallets, ensure the capacity of the scale is high enough and it features tough construction – such as mild steel reinforced construction, heavy duty leveling feet, and maybe overload protection, just in case.
