MONORAIL

Monorail scale calibration and service

Brechbuhler Scales calibrates and services monorail and hoist-mounted scales, so the weights you track on overhead conveyor and rail systems stay accurate for production and shipping.

What we check on a monorail scale

A monorail scale calibration compares its readings against known test loads, checks repeatability as the load moves along the rail, and confirms the trolley, hooks, and mounting hardware are in good condition. We also verify the indicator or data output is transmitting consistent readings.

Common monorail scale applications

Monorail scales are common in meat and food processing, overhead conveyor systems, and any operation that tracks weight as product moves along a rail. Because the scale moves with the load, mechanical wear on the trolley and rail connections can affect accuracy over time.

Legal-for-trade monorail scales

If your monorail scale is used to bill or track product by weight for compliance purposes, it may need to meet NIST Handbook 44 requirements. We can tell you what your setup requires.

Monorail scale calibration FAQs

How often should a monorail scale be calibrated?

Most monorail scales should be calibrated at least once a year, though scales used continuously in production often benefit from more frequent checks.

Does the moving trolley affect accuracy?

Wear on the trolley wheels and rail can introduce inconsistency over time. Our technicians inspect this mechanical wear as part of every calibration visit, not just the load cell itself.

Can a monorail scale integrate with production software?

Many monorail scales can connect to production tracking or inventory software. Ask us about integration options during your next service visit.

Do you service monorail scales outside of Ohio?
