Crane & Hanging Scales

Industrial Crane Scales and Hanging Scales are used to weigh large and irregular shaped items not suitable for conventional weighing platforms. Digital scales typically have a large bright display which can be read from a distance and also can be controlled remotely from a hand held device. Mechanical Hanging Scales have an analogue dial and an indicator to display the weight. Ideal in environments where power is an issue. 

Choosing a Crane Scale

• Environment in which the scale is to be used 
• Type of product to be weighed
• Capacity (max. weight to be used)
• Increment (smallest division of the scale)
  
• Type of hook and swivel
• Size of the scale (any space restrictions)
• Environment (hazardous, outside)
• Display visibility from a distance
• Power (internal rechargeable battery, removable batteries)
• Trade Approval (if money changes hands as a result of the displayed weight)
• Risk Assessment for H&S.
