Mammoth Weighing provides specialist support for payload weighing systems across mobile plant, fixed plant and heavy vehicles. Whether you need a new system installed, an existing system checked for accuracy, or help diagnosing a fault, we provide practical field support to keep your equipment weighing reliably.
INSTALLATIONS & REPAIRS
From new machine installations and system upgrades to damaged sensors, wiring faults and configuration issues, Mammoth Weighing provides hands-on support for OEM and aftermarket payload weighing systems.
Our field service can include installation and commissioning of new systems, replacement of damaged components, wiring and sensor fault diagnosis, system configuration, software setup and troubleshooting of inaccurate or inconsistent payload readings.
Where required, we can also assist with system layout, component positioning, display setup, printers, modem connectivity, remote reporting and integration with compatible machine or site systems.
For existing systems, our approach is to diagnose the cause of the fault first and, where practical, restore or repair the system before recommending unnecessary replacement.

WHEN IS SCALE CALIBRATION NECESSARY?
Payload weighing systems should be calibrated whenever changes to the machine, attachment or operating conditions may affect weighing accuracy. Regular calibration also helps maintain consistent and reliable payload information.
ROUTINE SERVICING
As part of a regular machine maintenance or payload system service schedule.
BEFORE CRITICAL PROJECTS
Before major projects, production reporting or other work where accurate and repeatable payload information is important.
ATTACHMENT CHANGES
After a bucket or attachment has been repaired, modified, replaced or changed to a different configuration.
REPAIRS & MODIFICATIONS
Following repairs, modifications or replacement of components that may affect the weighing system or machine geometry.
ACCURACY CONCERNS
If displayed payloads become inconsistent, begin to drift, or no longer agree with a known reference weight.
Mammoth Weighing can provide scheduled calibration and accuracy checks annually, half-yearly, quarterly or around your machine's operating requirements or site movements. Talk to us about a Mammoth Maintenance Program tailored to your equipment and workload.
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?
CALIBRATION
- Compares scale readings against known reference loads
- Identifies the amount of weighing error
- Allows adjustment of the system to restore accuracy
- Can be performed on standard and Legal for Trade systems
VERIFICATION
- Applies to approved weighing instruments used for trade
- Confirms the instrument complies with applicable NMI requirements
- Includes prescribed tests and maximum permissible error limits
- Must be performed under the appropriate servicing licence by an authorised verifier
Calibration is about measuring and correcting accuracy. Legal for Trade verification confirms that an approved weighing instrument meets the requirements for use in trade.
BENEFITS OF PAYLOAD WEIGHING SYSTEMS
COMPLIANCE & LOAD MANAGEMENT
Accurate payload information helps operators manage machine loads, monitor production and support site requirements where weight records or load control are important.
IMPROVED SAFETY
Knowing the payload being carried helps operators avoid unnecessary overloading and supports safer, more controlled loading and material handling practices.
PRODUCTIVITY & COST CONTROL
Accurate weighing helps maximise payloads, reduce underloading and unnecessary rehandling, and provides better visibility of material moved throughout the job.
DATA & CONNECTIVITY
Compatible payload systems can record and report load data, production totals and machine information, with selected systems offering remote or cloud-based reporting.
