Regardless of the type of business, it is important that the scales work and weigh correctly. Vehicle scale, pallet scale or belt scale – all scales consist of electronics and mechanics that need maintenance. Having downtime on a near-production scale can mean costly hours of downtime. With a service agreement from us, we ensure that your scale and its peripheral equipment weigh correctly and that it has the conditions to do so every day of the year.
Fixed price per wave
Our service agreements are flexible and can be put together based on your needs and wishes.
Service of other equipment
We of course have service for other equipment. We sell, for example, terminals, booms, displays, printers and more.
Calibration methods
Different scales need different calibration methods. Some wave types are quick and easy while others may take longer.

“The collaboration with Flintab works perfectly. We have a close collaboration with the support at Flintab and we always get fast help”.
“We chose Flintab as service provider for our scales at all seven facilities in Sweden. They offered us a central agreement where each individual facility could adapt it to their needs, as some facilities have vehicle scales. It also feels very good with the option for extra preventive maintenance, which gives us the conditions for better operational reliability, which is an important issue for us”.
“For many years, we have used Flintab’s services both when it comes to the annual calibration and preventive maintenance of scales and booms. Flintab shows a transparent way of handling all our facilities and needs, which feels incredibly good to us. The ownership and maintenance of the scales and its equipment simplifies our everyday life”.
Service technician Leif Larsson is a legend in his trade. His knowledge, accuracy and cheerful mood have meant that he and Flintab are increasingly being hired by other scale suppliers.
– If you’ve been around as long as I have, you should know a thing or two, but it’s certainly nice to be appreciated, says Larsson for the day on site in a shaft at a heavy industry in Katrineholm.
For 26 years, he has coached around Central Sweden and prepared scales. The starting point has been the home in Eskilstuna, it has been for all of his 56 years. Why the career choice fell on scales and calibration was more of a coincidence, he says:
– I had training as a service technician with me and had worked with cable TV for a few years, which made me a bit of an all-rounder, which was a plus when I applied for the job at Flintab.
In addition to his usual duties as a service technician, Leif Larsson is also a so-called team leader out in the field; he is the one who keeps everything and everyone in order during the calibrations. Thus, he has a hand in the game on all levels. Suddenly a colleague calls him, it’s urgent. An extra handle is needed. 1,000 kilos of dumbbells must be lifted onto pallets, which in turn must be winched up to the third floor. Leif is back soon, he continues:
– People have no idea how many scales are out there, there are check scales, bench scales, vehicle scales, all types, one customer knows 40 different kinds, it can be in gravel pits, foundries, shops, heating plants, everywhere… it’s like set up for corporate espionage, the service legend laughs and adds:
– But today you can read a lot online, so there are no secrets left. However, there are always new things to learn, digital load cells or whatever it may be. Should there be any problem, there is always good support from Jönköping.
What is wrong with the scales?
Most often it is an electronic fault, caused by gnawing rats, you may have dropped things or the thunder has passed with lightning as a result. A direct hit can destroy an entire wave of vehicles. I remember a thunderstorm, it went from Västerås over Örebro all the way to Karlstad. Then we had to do. But that doesn’t happen twice.
What is the distribution of wave products?
– It’s about five or six different makes, 60 percent of the customers stick with Flintab scales, it makes everything so much easier when it comes to access to spare parts. Otherwise, shipping times will be expensive. More and more companies have realized this, which has meant that they have switched to Flintab entirely.
What is the most enjoyable part of the job?
– A scale can stand wrong, weigh wrong, there can be dirt under it, then you correct it and are met with great gratitude. Then you leave there feeling satisfied and happy. That’s the reward.
A technical genius, a pusher with a twinkle in his eye. This is how colleagues see Erik Liljeqvist, service technician Flintab based in Hässleholm. His specialties: industrial scales, calibration and motorcycles.
– It started with motocross anyway, says Erik. I spent the days working with trucks in the villa garage at home in Sösdala outside Hässleholm. Then I went to truck training in Ljungby, moved to Jönköping for two years in connection with my wife studying there.
– But then it happened that we returned to Skåne and I slipped into the wave industry with slightly bigger challenges.
Erik turned 38 today. Erik is team leader and bases over three technicians in the Scania region, including Falkenberg and Blekinge.
– Now I have worked at Flintab for ten years and there have been new challenges every day, many meetings with people, curious people who are amazed that the weighing can be about as little as 30 grams of precision… all this makes the working days both inspiring and fun.
The everyday tasks are mostly about calibrations of giant industrial scales, goods scales, small and large pallet scales, small and large customers who wish to have scales repaired.
– Since scales are extremely sensitive instruments, we deal with precision scales where every gram counts for the customers’ processes. Sometimes we load larger industrial scales with ten tons, where the customer demands that the scale should show no more than ten kilos of incorrect difference.
But the development is making significant progress in its parts, says Erik:
– Yes, today new customers find us easily online.
This has of course opened up the market so that you can service all makes and scales?
– Yes, it definitely has, we have direct contact with the customer today, which enables faster and more efficient measures.
You can smell an oily scent from Erik’s overalls through the mobile phone, the 500-cubic meter is surely not far away either. So a skin pie on it and Steppenwolf’s “Born to be Wild” in the background…
Motorcycles are my passion, so I’m lucky both in my free time and at work, Erik coos.
Erik sounds cool and euphoric when he gets to talk about the technicalities.
With your heavy pieces you work with, have you ever suffered any injuries?
– Pepper, pepper, I have always been careful with risk assessments. I could have trained a little more, it wouldn’t have hurt.
Anything but old and you are enjoying yourself, it seems that you intend to stay at your job at Flintab for the rest of your working life?
– Absolutely!

To ensure year-round operation, we recommend at least one extra preventive maintenance of scales that are exposed to dirt, wear and tear and a demanding environment. For other scales, it may be critical that the weight value is accurate, for example when the scale is used as a measuring device for quality approval or financial transactions, where at least one additional calibration per year is recommended. Talk to our service representative about what is appropriate.

Flushing the vehicle scale with cleaning around the load cells is an important part of preventive maintenance and safety for the scale to weigh correctly. One reason for an unplanned stop can be sand and gravel that has caused the scale to get stuck or, at freezing temperatures, freeze solid.

If the scale shows errors during calibration, we adjust it correctly. For our own instruments, adjustment is always included in our service agreements. For other makes, it is an additional service. Please note that some scales cannot be adjusted.
