Company FAQs

Yes, we can certainly help you find a solution for your weighing needs. At Anyload, we regularly work with companies to provide weighing solutions that play a critical role in a variety of applications, including safety, manufacturing, quality control, commercial, and other systems.

Our team of experienced engineers and technical representatives is skilled at designing and developing customized weighing solutions to meet the specific needs of our customers. Whether you are looking to measure something small and precise, such as the touching force on a small touchscreen display, or something larger and more complex, such as the total weight superstructures in the hundreds of tons, we have the expertise and resources to help you find a solution.

If you are in need of a weighing solution, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We would be happy to discuss your needs and work with you to find a solution that meets your specific requirements. We can also help direct end-users to a dealer or other weighing and measurement service provider. 

We have a full suite of testing equipment at our factory in our R&D laboratory and on our production line. We regularly custom manufacture special load cells, scales, and weighing components for special applications where standard products may not be suitable. Everything we manufacture is backed by hard data and prototype testing to guarantee performance according to specifications. 

Some special environments that we have made load cells for:

  • Extreme precision scales (up to 60,000 divisions) 
  • Heavy capacity weighing up to 500 tons (500,000 kgs)
  • High-temperature applications (tested up to 250°C/482°F)
  • Low-temperature applications (tested down to -40°C/-40°F)
  • Underwater weighing (down to 50 PSI)
  • Low-profile solutions for force measurement or dimensionally-restricted applications
  • Corrosive environments (salt, acid, alkaline, organic, other ionic solutions, etc.) 
  • Explosive environments (including FM/ATEX/IECEX certifications up to the highest class)

These requirements often stack on top of each other. We do not offer performance levels that we cannot confidently test at, and we always put our products through every necessary test at our facilities so that our clients can have full confidence in the products they receive.

At Anyload, we are a load cell and scale parts manufacturer and distributor, and we rely on scale dealers to service weighing systems. We understand that keeping your weighing equipment in good working order is important, and we are committed to helping you find the support you need to ensure that your equipment is functioning. While we do not directly offer repair or maintenance services, we have an extensive network of service providers across North America and internationally who are able to provide these services.

We have provided scale dealers and other companies with calibration services for load cells. Our factory is ISO/IEC 17025-certified to perform internationally-recognized weight calibrations. However, these are generally complex, high-precision calibrations for special applications and customers will need to cover the shipping costs of items that may often be quite heavy. 

For general compliance calibrations, we refer inquirers to VACS Calibration, which performs

Yes, at Anyload, we offer intrinsically safe load cells that meet the Class 1 Division 1 standard for explosion safety. These load cells can be identified by the “-EX” suffix in the part number (e.g., 563YH-2.5Klb-EX). It’s important to note that even with the use of these special load cells, proper installation and adherence to safety guidelines must still be followed to ensure compliance in intrinsically safe electro-mechanic systems.

FM (Factory Mutual) is a global engineering and consulting company that provides certification for products and systems used in hazardous locations. FM approval signifies that a product has been rigorously tested and meets strict safety guidelines for use in environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust may be present. By using load cells that have received FM approval, you can trust that your electrical systems will be safe and compliant in potentially explosive environments.

If you have any questions or are interested in learning more about our non-incendive weighing options, please don’t hesitate to contact us or your local scale dealer.

At Anyload, we hold FM Canada approval for almost all of our standard products, but we do not have CSA (Canadian Standards Association) approval. While FM Canada and CSA approval are both recognized safety standards in Canada, it’s important to check with the users or potential users of a weighing system to confirm that FM Canada approval is accepted according to their specific corporate policy or regulatory obligations. Please note that proper installation and adherence to safety guidelines must still be followed to ensure compliance in intrinsically safe electro-mechanic systems.

Yes, we typically have stock for all of our standard items at our BC and NJ warehouses as well as at our factory, although it varies by sales volume and costs. However, it is not always possible to ensure that there are no interruptions in availability or sufficient quantities. This can be due to a variety of factors, such as the need to stock both metric and imperial measurement versions of the same model of load cells, which can make inventory management more complex. Additionally, we cannot always predict when a customer may buy out a large quantity of stock, which can lead to temporary shortages.

That being said, we do our best to maintain a large inventory of all standard items and can often hold items for customers for a short period of time while they prepare quotes or make purchasing decisions.
