Professional Distributors of Weighing Scales and Systems
Based in Greater Manchester, Abacus Weighing is the industry’s leading supplier of professional weighing scales and systems including weighing scales hire. We supply the scale trade, OEMs, including lifting gear and materials handling industries. Our industrial end users are supplied and serviced either direct or through our network of appointed dealers.
Established in 1988, Abacus is a European distributor for the Italian manufacturer Dini Argeo S.r.l, a global leader in the manufacture of weighing scales and systems. Dini Argeo is the industry-leader when it comes to both the sale of industrial weighing scales and scale hire. Pioneering the use of new technology and production innovation over a number of years, Dini Argeo is a name known for all round excellence.
Abacus is a business associated with quality weighing equipment and weighing scales hire for a large number of industries, including Aerospace, Agricultural, Automotive, Chemical, Food, Petrochemical, Recycling, Road Haulage, Logistics, Warehouse, Logistics, Pharmaceutical, and Analytical Laboratories. We also provide an extensive range of ATEX hazardous area, explosion proof, equipment for both zones 1 and 21 2GD and zones 2 and 22 3GD.
Short-term weighing scales hire is available for counting and platform scales. This may be a viable option where customers require a solution for one-off projects that don’t justify the capital outlay. Whatever your requirements, be it purchase, scale hire, service, repair or calibration, Abacus Weighing, and its appointed dealers, provide a first class service throughout the UK and Ireland.
As a UKAS accredited laboratory, accredited to BS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 for calibrations, we are approved to calibrate equipment to this internationally recognised standard. We are also members of the United Kingdom Weighing Federation, the industry’s trade body.
From simple weighing to ATEX rated equipment, Abacus is your trusted Dini Argeo and weighing equipment partner.

A service/repair plan is a surefire way of ensuring your business routines are not disrupted as a consequence of using faulty, inaccurate and poorly maintained weighing equipment. This can lead to significant operational, cost and efficiency savings.
By regularly repairing and servicing your equipment, you can increase the lifespan of your weighing apparatus. This ensures that it’s business as usual, 24 hours a day/7 days a week. Our engineers are used to working alongside in-house repair teams, to relevant standards and current legislation. At all times, keeping our customers satisfied and their equipment in full working order is our primary objective.
Planned maintenance is the key to avoiding costly downtime. We specialise in creating tailor-made service contracts that cover preventative maintenance, calibrations and even emergency call-outs, leaving you and your staff to get on with what you do best!
Ensuring your key operations continue to run smoothly is important for any business. Any lack of efficiency, or weakness in your production processes, will immediately impact on your business capabilities.
Carrying out regular maintenance to your weighing equipment and machinery can lead to multiple business benefits. It allows managers to cut or lower their overall repair costs in a given time period, it ensures correct weight readings, even on large production runs, extends the working life of equipment and ensures ISO 9001 traceability in line with quality certification requirements.
Our attention to detail, technical knowledge and insight into different production techniques and industry requirements, puts us in the best possible position to maintain all of your weighing machinery and equipment. Abacus’ experienced engineers provide a first-class, UK-wide, maintenance service, ensuring you always have accurate weighing tools at your disposal - keeping your customers happy and your production lines efficient!
As one of the UK’s first and foremost experts in the supply, servicing, repair and calibration of weighing and measuring equipment, we are well placed to provide customers with a range of tailored advice, support and technical consultancy services.
Our teams of consultants understand the ins and outs of the weighing industry, and have spent years working alongside technical experts, learning about different weighing processes and manufacturing techniques.
Our technical consultancy services aim to deliver valued-added solutions and excellent service to all our customers. Whether your project is on the drawing board, at feasibility stage, or nearing a conclusion, our consultants can provide ideas, inspiration and support at all stages of the design, development and installation stages of your scheme.
Before we make any recommendations, our engineers will sit down with you and assess what you are trying to achieve. We can then start to evaluate what type of weighing solution is a good fit for your organisation. Our aim is always to save you money, ensure your machinery is well-maintained and working efficiently, and that you enjoy maximum uptime.
