Truck weight scales are essential to daily business operations in many industries. Accurately weighing vehicles and their contents is essential for many tasks, including weighing inventory, ensuring vehicle safety, evaluating business efficiency, and making commercial transactions.
“Certified” industrial truck scales are scales that comply with the regulations set out by the National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP). These rules are designed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the scales used in commercial applications. Most NTEP-approved scales are also Legal For Trade, which means they can be used by a business that sells items based on weight.
In this article, I’ll explain the importance of using certified truck scales in your business and share some of the NTEP-certified truck scales sold by SellEton Scales.

The Importance of Using Certified Truck Scales
Being able to weigh vehicles accurately is important for several reasons, including:
- Authenticated commercial transactions
Certified scales are essential for businesses that sell based on weight. Truck scales are handy as they can measure pallets, cargo, and fully loaded vehicles. By measuring your product’s weight accurately, you can ensure the transaction is honest, that your contractual obligations have been met, and that consumer confidence is maintained. - Avoiding accidental oversupply
Accurate measurement means you avoid accidentally giving the customer more than they paid—which may cost your business thousands of dollars each year. - Faster weighing of goods
You can accurately weigh an entire truckload of cargo in less than a minute using a certified truck scale. This speeds up the weighing process, leading to productivity improvements for your business. - Safety
Businesses must ensure that vehicles are adequately supplied and have their weight correctly distributed throughout the vehicle. Having access to certified truck scales makes this task simple.
