Whether the form of transportation be automotive, recycling and waste or traffic enforcement, Nicol Scales & Measurement has the weighing solution that you need.  NSM offers truck scales and rail scales, fixed and portable axle scales for in-motion vehicle weighing and load cells for on-board vehicle weighing.  Floor scales and fork lift scales allow for NTEP approved, legal for trade weighing solutions on a smaller scale while software and control kiosks allow for unmanned weighing and data collection on concrete or steel deck truck scales in any environment.  If you have only a short term weighing need, NSM offers truck scales or axle scales for rent.

Our Service Department is factory trained to install and repair most models of truck and vehicle scales, and our fleet of heavy duty test trucks carry the certified weights needed to calibrate large weighbridges.  For wheel load and axle scales that law enforcement typically uses, we offer high capacity calibration capabilities up to 100,000 lbs with our in-house calibration presses.  Don’t delay – contact us today.
