Total Ownership Cost (TOC) Considerations: TOC = Initial Buying Cost (one-time) + Maintenance Cost (recurring).

Before purchasing a weighbridge, it is crucial to assess the long-term TOC, including maintenance, calibration, and repair costs. Many businesses overlook ongoing costs, leading to unexpected expenses. A low-cost analog weighbridge may seem attractive initially but can result in higher maintenance expenses and potential financial losses due to inaccurate weight measurements.
