Crane & Hanging Scales

Industrial Crane Scales and Hanging Scales provide a reliable solution for weighing large, bulky or irregularly shaped items that cannot be placed on standard weighing platforms. Ideal for factories, warehouses, construction sites and manufacturing plants, these scales are built for durability, precision and ease of use.

Digital Crane Scales feature high-visibility LED or LCD displays that can be read clearly from a distance, with many models offering remote control operation for safe and convenient use. For environments where power is limited, Mechanical Hanging Scales offer a simple, rugged alternative with an analogue dial display — perfect for outdoor or off-grid applications.

Key Considerations When Choosing a Crane or Hanging Scale

Selecting the right scale for your application ensures accurate, safe and efficient weighing. When choosing your Crane Scale or Hanging Scale, consider the following factors:

• Environment: Indoor, outdoor or hazardous locations may require specific housing or IP-rated protection.
• Type of product: The shape, size and nature of the load will influence hook and swivel design.
• Capacity: Ensure the maximum load capacity meets your heaviest expected weight.
• Accuracy (increment): Choose an appropriate graduation for your weighing precision requirements.
• Hook and swivel type: Consider whether a fixed or rotating hook is best for your application.
• Scale dimensions: Check for space or height restrictions in your lifting area.
• Display visibility: Opt for large, bright displays that are easy to read from a distance.
• Power supply: Decide between rechargeable internal batteries or replaceable options for flexibility.
• Trade approval: Required if the scale will be used for transactions based on weight.
• Health & Safety: Always carry out a suitable Risk Assessment to ensure safe lifting and operation.
