Speed up manual processes...
…with the colorWeight® colored weight display. Increase the efficiency of your scale operators with the colored weight display that quickly and clearly states, by changing color, whether or not the weight or piece count is within the permitted tolerance. In addition to this, colorWeight® can also help to minimize errors. Use our online efficiency calculator to discover how much time and money you could save with colorWeight®.
 
Increase the availability...
…of the scales thanks to their robust design and optimum service. Floor scales in particular are often exposed to harsh ambient conditions. It is for this reason that METTLER TOLEDO floor scales come equipped with special adjustable rocker feet, which ensure optimum force transmission to the load cell at all times and thereby prevent any damage to the load cell due to lateral shearing forces. Furthermore, up to 15 tons can be transferred over heavy-duty scales, meaning that the scales themselves can be easily transported by heavy-duty fork-lift trucks. The expert METTLER TOLEDO calibration and maintenance service also contributes to the high availability of the scales.
 
Relieve employees of strenuous processes...

With or without the colorWeight® display, METTLER TOLEDO offers the world's most extensive range of weighing terminals and platforms with the most diverse designs, sizes (including free size for floor scales) and accessories.
