Hanging and platform scales

Hanging and platform scales weigh your suitcase before a flight, your catch, parcels and stock in the warehouse. Choose from pocket digital scales with a hook or strap, crane scales up to 300 kg and platform scales with a display on a cable.

Hanging and platform scales

Compact luggage scales with a hook or a strap and buckle handle 25 to 75 kg depending on the model and usually have a resolution of 5 to 10 g. They offer a backlit display, a tare function and switching between kg, lb and oz. Some add a built-in tape measure, USB charging or a reading lock.

Heavier items call for crane scales with a range of 200 to 300 kg, a steel hook and a hold function. Never exceed the capacity stated by the manufacturer and don’t stand under a suspended load.

Large parcels are easier with platform scales featuring a stainless steel surface and a display on a cable or a wireless control panel. Shipping models handle 120 to 200 kg, while smaller ones up to 50 kg are accurate to 2 g. The 30 kg price-computing scale also works out the total from the price per kilo. Selling goods by weight to customers requires a verified scale with metrological marking.
