WHY YOU NEED SHERING WEIGHING TO SERVICE YOUR WEIGHBRIDGE
- What is the purpose of a weighbridge?
The rationale behind the purchase of a weighbridge is financial security; it controls the movement of material and protects against human error and varying forms of fraud. Unless the weighbridge is accurate then it will not serve its purpose. A weighbridge is an investment, look after it and it will pay you back handsomely. Routine maintenance is an essential pre-requisite to getting the best from your investment. Shering Weighing are experts in the weighing industry, we will protect your investment.
- Is your weighbridge legal?
A weighbridge approved for trade is governed by the Weights & Measures Act 1985. A Trading Standards Officer can close down your weighbridge at any time if inaccuracy is found or an offence committed. Regular service visits will help remove this risk. However, it is essential that the weighbridge owner can completely depend on the correct advice and workmanship from the service company as it is the weighbridge owner/operator who is liable for prosecution and not the weighing company. Shering Weighing's whole ethos is based on complete integrity, honesty and trust. We will not let you down, we will keep you trading legally.
- Do you know how tough a weighbridge's job is?
A weighbridge is a precision instrument that is constantly subjected to impact forces by heavy moving trucks and must also cope with aggressive environmental conditions. It is imperative that the mechanical and electronic equipment is examined and tested to ensure the weighbridge is operating accurately and within legally acceptable tolerances. A skilled engineer will pre-empt problems and deal effectively with repairs thus eradicating the risk of escalating service/legal costs. Shering Weighing guarantee highly skilled engineers with an in-house back up team second to none. For details see the Field Staff Declaration of Competency.
- Does your service company really care?
Research carried out at Shering Weighing showed that many weighbridge operators/owners needed advice on keeping up good housekeeping practices. They were unaware that carrying out simple maintenance tasks could save thousands of pounds a year. Shering feel strongly that it is their duty to bring all relevant information to customers' attention. In addition to the Select Service Maintenance Programme Shering also provide free 'Weighbridge Good Housekeeping' training courses to all interested parties.
Shering's commitment to helping their customers in every way possible has resulted in benefits regards repair cost savings, minimising risk of financial losses and litigation whilst at the same time extending the lifespan of the customers' weighbridges.
