FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

When you are buying a scale from HSCo, we will check the scale in front of you and only if you are satisfied with the scale will we give it to you. However, there is no way to know if your scale is showing the right weight once you leave our store.

As per the law you are supposed to keep 10% of the maximum capacity of the weight of your scale. So if you are purchasing a weight scale of 300 kgs, you have to keep 30 kgs alongside with it. A lot of business owners donot keep these weights

At Hindustan Scale Company we feel it is always better to keep these weights and count it as a cost of the scale. There are two reasons for that. Firstly you are compliant by law. Secondly, you can always check the weighing scale by keeping these weights on the scale. And weights are not that expensive either.

Well, Quality is a highly subjective matter, and that you are buying a good quality scale is something like asking is Honda City a good car. Now compared to TATA Nano, it is. Compared to Mercedes C Class it is not.

So the real question you should be asking is, will the scale being purchased do the task for which it is being bought. So if you want to weigh gold, a Kirana scale will do no good. You need a gold weighing scale.

Now at Hindustan Scale Company – HSCo, scales come with a two years warranty against an industry standard of one year. SO we are quite sure that the scales will last you more than the other scales available in the market. Also at HSCo we give you a lifetime free upgrade of all the software pertaining to a model FREE of cost. And there is backward compatibility. So even after seven years when you come back to us for repairs we will be able to do it. We are an ISO 9001:2015 company and all products that we manufacture go through a rigorous quality check. We also have a policy that we buy only the best components from the industry leaders in their fields and they too need to be an ISO certified company. That gives us an extra edge in quality compared to the smaller brands. Also at HSCo we have a dedicated R&D and software team that can give you the latest technology at the most affordable price.

Our scales easily last you for more than seven years giving you one of the lowest cost of ownership and one of the highest weighing averages. Our scales can handle more than 1,50,000 repetations throughout their lifetime. Our grocery scales over their lifetime weigh about 63 tons of goods, and our crane scale more than 39,00,00,000 (39 crore) kgs of material.

So should you buy from us. Definitely you should.

We have a number of DIY videos in the help section that helps you to debug the scale yourself. So you can fix your scale yourself (believe me, its fairly simple). So you still find it difficult to fix the scale you can call our Repairs and Queries number +91-7045922251 and talk to our engineers about the same. They will guide you for the step by step repairing process.

Say you still cannot fix the problem. We have over 1440 repairers, service dealers and technicians all over India who can fix your scale. What you need to do is download our app and raise a repairing request, and someone will come and fix your scale. Its that simple

Absolutely Yes. There is no second thought about it. All the scales that leave HSCo’s factory are 100% Legal Metrology Approved and a certificate for the same will be issued to the customer. If you take an electronic scale then an original certificate will accompany the scale. If you take a Mechanical Scale then a photocopy of the certificate will accompany the scale.

Why do you purchase any weighing scale. So that you are assured that the scale shows you the right weight, always. Now will the scale be any good, if its cheap but does not show you the right weight. So now what is the worth of a scale that would always show the right weight, extremely rugged, has telephonic support if it breaks down and can be serviced from anywhere in India? It would be worth a lot more than an ordinary scale that is imported or that is made by an unknown company, using imported parts.

What we promise all our customers is that when you purchase from HSCo, you will always be paying the right price for any product. We do not guarantee that we are the cheapest, but we guarantee that our products are the best value for money.

The best scale for your needs will depend upon three factors

What industry you are in?

What is the maximum that you want to weight

What is the least that you want to weigh

Lets break this down. The industry is very important because all types of industries have a different requirement. So if you are weighing ice-cream or Grocery, you would require the same maximum capacity but the Ice-Cream scale would have a layer of Hydrophobic material coated on it, so it would last 15 times longer in a moisture as compared to a simple Grocery scale that may fluctuate due to the high moisture content on the PCB.

The maximum capacity that you want to weight is an important factor because it not only decides the size of the scale but also decides the strength of the scale and the material of construction. So lets say you have a transport company such as DTDC or VRL (both are our existing customers). SO you would usually need a heavy duty scale that even the labourers can use and can take impacts of upto 300 kgs. So the MOC has to be Iron or mild steel, and the platform size has to be such that 3-4 bundles can be accommodated on the scale. But if you are in the Precious Metals industry then you would require a scale having a maximum capacity of no more than 2000 gms. In this case a MOC of Plastic is acceptable.

The accuracy is one of the most important factors that you should consider while you are buying a weighing scale. All businesses need different levels of accuracies. If you are a Pharma Company, then even a difference of 0.0001 gm can change a formulation of your tablet. On the other hand if you are in the grocery business, a difference of 10 gms in potatoes would be acceptable, and still if you are in the steel industry, a difference of 2 kgs in a lot of 10,000 kgs would be acceptable.

If you need a special scale made as per your requirements or if you need to incorporate any specific software in your scale, please mail us at [email protected]. We will be able to make a scale that is customized as per your requirements.

This is entirely dependant upon you. Please download our app on google play store or visit our website and you will be able to find a scale that will suite your requirement and your pocket. In a rare case if you cannot find something that you are looking for please send us a mail on [email protected] or click HERE. Our engineers will call you to understand your requirements.

If the amount has been debited from your bank account but you have not got a confirmation from our website that the payment was successful then the paid amount will be refunded to you by the vendor as per their terms and conditions.

The Government stamping for Mechanical Scales is usually two years and for Mechanical Scales is one year. After one year you would be contacted by us either through a SMS, Whatsapp or phone call to remind you that your stamping is overdue and has to be renewed. You would be guided for the process of renewal and the charges for the same.

Yes, all scales purchased from HSCo are legal to trade. You would be getting a certificate from the Legal Metrology Department to this regard from us.

At HSCo we have a fixed price policy. So the prices across all our platform are the same. Also we donot guarantee that our prices are the cheapest but we promise that our scales are the best value for your money.

However, we do understand that all the businesses would not have the same intensive use of a weighing scale. Hence we have different series of weighing scales, eg people who need the bluetooth connectivity we have the Galileo Series, for the printer scales we have the Pythagoras series and for the simple scales we have the Darwin series. The price range of these scales differ and so does the functionality.

We would not recommend you buying a cheaper scale from other vendors. You have to understand why does a scale become cheap. Either substandard components (usually imported from China) are used because of which the scale would not have a life that you would expect out of it. Or the Quality Control is not great with the result the scale tends to break down quite often. Or even in some cases dealers to make a quick buck donot get the scale verified by the Legal Metrological department because of which you might end up paying a fine of upto 25000/-. Its always better to invest a little more in a more rugged scale than to save some money initially but end up paying a lot more later on.

At HSCo we take quality very seriously. We have an entire department dedicated to Quality Control of all the weighing scales that we manufacture, to make sure that no substandard scale ever leaves our factory. We are also ISO 9001:2015 certified having very clear guidelines mentioned about quality control. Additionally, to make sure that the components that we are sourcing are the best in the industry, we only purchase from ISO 9001:2015 or equivalent companies who are market leaders in their respective fields.

All this means that whenever a scale leaves our factory, you can be assured that it is the best quality that you can buy.

At HSCo we make every effort to make sure that the goods reach in pristine condition to the customer. To protect the goods we pack all our table top scales and Platform scale indicators in a wooden case. We also select only trustworthy transport companies and courier service companies so that the damage to the goods is minimum. However, transportation damage is not in our scope as its not because of a manufacturing defect.

All our scales have an optional connectivity feature of Bluetooth, RS-232 and USB on the motherboard. However we donot put the modules as everybody doesn’t need these in their scales. However, if you need any of these modules attached to the motherboard please tell this to our sales executive while buying this or while ordering please select the bluetooth scales.

All the scale that are sold by HSCo are approved by the weights and measures department. You will get a certificate from us for the same. In case of an electronic scale the certificate will be original and in case of Mechanical scales the certificate will be a photocopy with your goods mentioned in the certificate.

As long as you have purchased a Weighing Scale of the HSCo brand (either directly through us or through a dealer) you enjoy a standard warranty on your weighing scales. It doesn’t matter where you are from. In fact more than 80% of our scales are used out of Mumbai.

Yes, you can rent any type of scale you want. Call our sales numbers and we will be able to help you with the scales that you need to rent.

It is very easy to use a weighing scale. You just switch on a weighing scale, keep the load on it and check its weight. That’s it. This is true for the HSCo Darwin Series.

Depending upon what type of weighing scale you are using that the complexity of usage increases. So lets say, you have the HSCo Newton series weighing scale. Now this is a bluetooth weighing scale that is capable of storing records into your Android phone, connect to the ERP system and give a printout. Lets say you have a HSCo Pythagoras scale. That would connect to the internet, order for Raw Materials and even tell you the amount of finished goods that you are manufacturing and the wastage that is produced.

Everybody uses a weighing scale. Every industry uses a weighing scale. So you can rest assure that your competition and your customers, your suppliers as well as your consumers all use a weighing scale.

At HSCo we are constantly innovating technology and inventing hardware so that your scales remain ahead of the market curve. However, with time, technology gets obsolete because HSCo itself reinvents future technology. Our experience shows that you need to upgrade your weighing scales once every 8 years. So you may plan to either retire your scales at the end of eight years, or in case of heavy machines like weighbridges and Batching plants, you may want to upgrade the weighing scales at every seven to eight years.

You may pay on our website or app through a credit card or a debit card. If you are a business, you can also pay directly into our bank account through IMPS/NEFT or RTGS. Its that simple.

With the purchase of any HSCo scale, you can rest assured that the weighing that is shown is the right weight. Sometimes due to temperature fluctuations, physical impacts or voltage fluctuations, the memory where the algorithm is stored gets corrupted. Hence the weight may be off a few error divisions.

The way to identify this having atleast 10% of the weight of the full Load capacity of the scale with you. For example if you have a 100 kg scale have atleast 10 kg weight so that you can check the scale for its correctness. If you find that the scale is not showing the right weight or is off by more than two error divisions, then call on 7045922251, see our DIY videos HERE or get the scale to our nearest service centre and we will fix the scale.
