Looking beyond the price tag when buying industrial scale equipment

Posted by Marketing on April 17 2018 in

The majority of scale buyers don’t really understand what they actually require, so they go for the best price

Whilst affordability is always going to count, it’s important to think carefully about which scale option is going to provide the best solution for your requirements.

Without proper consideration of things like: maintenance costs, ongoing calibration requirements, compliance with relevant legislation, along with any other specific performance characteristics dictated by your working environment, your money could be wasted.

Consider lifecycle, legal compliance such as Weights and measures regulations, Hygiene regulations, ATEX Regulations etc

Customers need to look beyond the price, size etc, and even things like instant availability (if waiting means there is a better option), and consider if equipment offered is technically viable and wholly suitable for their working environment, is robust, and of course, fit for purpose, complying with all relevant legislations.

It pays to talk to an experienced equipment supplier like Abacus Weighing Services if you’re uncertain about which option is the best fit for your circumstances.  Don’t be afraid to make a quick phone call to clarify your thinking, so that you reach the right purchasing decision.

At the end of the day, the best industrial scale technology keeps the wheels of industry running smoothly, quickly and accurately, so making shortcuts with regard to price, can sometimes prove to be a false economy. 

Equipment needs to be technically viable, robust and fit for purpose

Making a snap decision could be a costly mistake, leading to manufacturing issues down the line, so take your time, do your research and always work with a business like Abacus Weighing Services that can lead you through the process.
