Scale Conversion from Active Scale
At Active Scale, we help companies across North America modernize their weighing systems without the cost of full replacements. Our scale conversion solutions are designed to retrofit existing equipment, creating a cost-effective solution to keep your scales operational, longer.
Why Consider a Scale Conversion?
Many truck scale systems still use obsolete or proprietary weighing technology, which can lead to:
- Increased maintenance costs
- Equipment downtime due to hard-to-source parts
- Inconsistent or inaccurate weight readings
By converting , you can:
- Extend the Life of Your Scale – Upgrade the internal components without replacing the entire structure.
- Lower Maintenance Costs – Accessible replacement parts that can be serviced by any qualified technician.
- Increase Reliability – Analog load cells are rugged, durable, and built for harsh job site environments.
- Improve Accuracy – Get precise readings you can count on to track material and prevent overloads.
- Reduce Downtime – Our conversions are fast and efficient, keeping your crews moving.
How It Works
Our team will assess your existing truck or rail scale system and engineer a conversion solution using proven, field-tested components. Whether you’re running an older digital system or need to move away from discontinued technology, we can design and install a retrofit package that meets your site’s specific needs.
Each conversion includes:
- Load cells built for industrial use
- Weatherproof junction boxes for signal management
- Surge protection and grounding to protect your investment
- Professional installation and calibration by Active Scale technicians
Most retrofits are completed quickly—with minimal disruption to your job site or plant.

A common call we receive at Active Scale is a request to certify the users scale with Measurement Canada. More often than not, the user has purchased a scale from an unaccredited provider that supplies weighing equipment without an approval number, leaving the user with a scale that can not be Measurement Canada certified.
Active Scale has years of experience with Measurement Canada regulations, giving us the expertise to supply the right weighing equipment that will meet the standards of compliance you need. The equipment we supply can also be serviced and re-certified by our Registered Technicians, avoiding downtime for your operation.
