We’ve all used scales that are NTEP certified when buying bananas at the store, since it’s critical for the weight to be accurate between the buyer and seller of the bananas. And yet a pediatric scale weighing our baby or a physician scale weighing us before surgery for assigning dosages isn’t held to the same criteria as a bunch of fruit or vegetables. DETECTO has received NTEP (National Type Evaluation Program) approval administered by the National Conference on Weights & Measures for most of our major medical scales. How does this help you as the consumer? This verifies from a regulated governing body that our scales are manufactured to the highest accuracy and quality possible for medical scales used to treat patients. DETECTO is at the forefront of leading a monumental, revolutionary change in patient care and offers a wide selection of NTEP-approved medical scales.

💦 Check out the water lines on these concrete barriers! Our Cardinal dealer in New York was called in to restore two pit-installed scales after they were submerged under 6 feet of floodwater. The competitor's analog scale needed costly repairs, including replacing all load cells and the junction box. In contrast, the Cardinal ARMOR Digital Scale powered up immediately after being submerged. With its IP69-sealed load cells and no junction box, the ARMOR scale withstood total submersion without needing any service. Cardinal truck scales are built to handle whatever nature throws their 'weigh'!

🌾 As the sun comes up over one of Iowa’s larger cooperatives, Cardinal Scale’s Iowa dealer is preparing two ARMOR concrete deck digital scales for a large fall harvest and the high volume of trucks that will deliver grain to this storage facility. This cooperative will bring in millions of bushels of corn and soybeans for storage once harvest begins. All of this hard work will result in America’s farmers supplying these grain products to processing plants for making the food products that we use every day at our dinner table. 🌽 ARMOR Concrete Deck Truck Scales: https://bit.ly/3LRGnYF #truckscale #truckscales #coop #grain #foodproduction #farming #agriculture
