When the scale
stops, the line
stops.
Emergency repair, certified calibration, and full installation of truck scales and weighbridges for growers, hullers, feed mills, and haulers. Our technicians live here — Turlock dispatch, no call center, no waiting on a truck from out of state.
What We Service
Scale Repair
Load cells, junction boxes, indicators, wiring, and deck damage. Truck goes back on the scale the same visit whenever parts allow.
Calibration & Certification
County-sealed certification with test weights and documented tolerance reports. Stay legal for trade, stay accurate on every load.
Installation
Pit and above-ground weighbridges, foundations coordinated with your contractor, indicators and ticket printers wired and commissioned.
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduled inspection intervals before harvest crunch. Cleaning, drainage, connection checks, and drift trending on your readouts.
Mechanical & Legacy Scales
Beam and lever-arm decks that predate digital indicators — still common across the Valley. We service and certify them alongside modern electronic systems.

Why CalMill
When you call us, a person in Turlock picks up — not a national answering service that opens a ticket and calls you back tomorrow. Our technicians are dispatched from the same yard that stocks the load cells, indicators, and hardware they'll need, so most breakdowns get fixed on the first visit instead of the third.
We've been serving Central Valley agriculture since 1952, which means 74 years of working on the equipment that's actually installed here — across more than twenty manufacturers, from modern Rice Lake digital indicators to mechanical decks older than most of our trucks. One company covers repair, certification, installation, and the maintenance schedule in between.
“Get your Fischbein sewing machines and parts. Thread and tape for your machines. Machine diagnosis and repair. Prints and conveyor repair. Mill equipment like elevators and scales. Check them out for more options.”
— Donald Ebersole“Cal Mill is exactly what you want in a local equipment company — experienced, reliable, and easy to work with. Happy to recommend them to anyone in the ag or industrial space.”
— David MessoreCommon Questions
How fast can a technician get on site?
Most Central Valley calls get a tech dispatched within 2 hours. Emergency line is answered 24/7 — nights, weekends, harvest season.
How often does a truck scale need NTEP certification in California?
State law requires annual certification for scales used in commercial trade. We handle the test-weight calibration and county-sealed paperwork in one visit.
Do you service scales you didn't sell or install?
Yes. We carry parts and service experience across 20+ manufacturers — Rice Lake, GSI, and mechanical decks older than our trucks. One call covers it regardless of who installed it.
What does emergency repair cost?
Flat-rate call-out, quoted before a technician leaves the yard. No surprise trip charge.
Do you work on mechanical (non-digital) scales?
Yes — legacy beam and lever-arm decks alongside modern digital indicators.
Is my location covered if it's not on your service area list?
Call dispatch. Listed cities are our standard radius; we travel farther for scheduled installs and larger accounts.
