Comprehensive Scale Service for the Coastal Bend

We offer complete weighing solutions to Corpus Christi businesses that depend on accurate measurements to stay productive and compliant. Our technicians handle the full range of industrial and commercial weighing systems on-site, minimizing disruption to your operations. Gulf Coast heat, humidity, and salt air accelerate wear on load cells, cables, and structural components, and we account for those local conditions in every inspection and repair we perform.



A typical service engagement may include:


  • Thorough on-site inspection of all mechanical and electronic scale components.
  • NIST-traceable calibration using our inventory of certified test weights.
  • Load cell diagnostics, repair, and replacement as needed.
  • Junction box and cable inspection to identify corrosion or moisture intrusion.
  • Indicator and controller testing to confirm accurate data output.
  • Preventive maintenance documentation to support compliance recordkeeping.


We carry over 65,000 lbs. of certified test weights ranging from 1mg to 1,000 lbs., enabling accurate load testing for everything from bench scales to large-capacity truck scales without delay.

Calibration vs. Repair: Understanding the Difference

Calibration compares your scale's output to a known reference standard and adjusts it to perform within acceptable tolerances. It is a proactive, scheduled activity that keeps equipment compliant and prevents measurement errors from compounding. Repair addresses a specific mechanical or electronic failure, such as a damaged load cell, failing display, or broken platform component.



Many Corpus Christi clients benefit from combining both. Scheduled calibration often surfaces small issues before they become costly repairs or compliance violations. We can build a service plan around your production schedule so neither task catches you off guard.

Industries We Serve

The Port of Corpus Christi is the number one crude oil export gateway in the United States, and the surrounding industrial ecosystem supports petrochemical processing, agricultural commodity handling, bulk material transfer, and large-scale logistics. We tailor our work to the weighing requirements specific to each of these sectors.



Industries we regularly support include:


  • Petrochemical and refining facilities requiring hazardous-area-rated scale solutions and tight calibration tolerances.
  • Port and bulk commodity operations handling crude oil, chemicals, agricultural goods, and dry bulk cargo.
  • Agricultural producers and grain handlers across Nueces County and the Coastal Bend.
  • Food processing and packaging plants where USDA or FDA compliance applies to weighing equipment.
  • Manufacturing and fabrication facilities needing reliable floor scale and bench scale performance.
  • Logistics and transportation companies managing truck scale compliance along I-37 and Highway 181.

What Does a Service Visit Include?

A visit from our team includes inspection, calibration, testing, and a written service record. We review the condition of all scale components, then run a full calibration using NIST-traceable test weights matched to your scale's rated capacity. If we identify a component issue, we discuss repair options before proceeding. Every visit closes with documentation you can use for internal recordkeeping or regulatory compliance. As an Authorized Field Representative for the Mettler Toledo Accredited Laboratory, we provide calibration certificates that carry recognized credibility.

How Often Should Industrial Scales Be Calibrated?

Calibration frequency depends on usage volume, the nature of materials being weighed, and applicable regulatory requirements. Most industrial operations in Corpus Christi benefit from calibration once or twice a year, though high-throughput environments or those subject to USDA, FDA, or state weights-and-measures regulations may require more frequent intervals. Our team can review your application and recommend a schedule that keeps you compliant without over-servicing your equipment.
