-
Yes, many offer USB, RS-232, or Bluetooth connectivity to transfer weight data for analysis or inventory tracking.
-
Load cells are sensors that convert weight into an electrical signal, ensuring precise measurements across the platform.
-
Most modern scales feature digital displays for clear readouts, often with backlighting for visibility.
-
A washdown scale is sealed to resist water and dust, ideal for food processing or pharmaceutical industries requiring hygiene.
-
Yes, if weather-resistant or stainless steel, but exposure to extreme conditions may require protective covers.
-
Many models have wheels or handles for mobility, though heavy-duty industrial scales may be stationary.
-
They’ re typically made of stainless steel or heavy-duty aluminum for durability, with some models featuring plastic for lighter use.
-
Accuracy varies, but high-quality scales achieve precision within 0.1 g for smaller loads and 0.1– 1 kg for heavier ones.
-
Most handle 0.6 kg to over 600 kg, with some industrial models exceeding 1000 kg, depending on design.
-
They’ re used for weighing goods in logistics, raw materials in manufacturing, livestock in agriculture, bulk items in retail, and patients in healthcare.
-
Using a platform scale is a simple process. To weigh an object, you place it on the platform, and the scale handles the rest. The object exerts a compressive force on the platform, which is then transferred to an internal mechanism.
-
They use sensors to measure the weight of an object, and the digital display shows the result. The sensors convert the applied force into a digital readout in mass units such as grams or kilograms. Digital scales are very accurate and can be used to measure even tiny objects.
-
Platform scales are designed for accurate weighing of items and materials in industrial settings. Choose from analog or smart load cell technology with functional, ergonomic platform designs.
-
Accuracy varies by model, but high-quality industrial floor scales typically offer precision within 0.1% of the full scale (e.g., ±1 pound for a 1,000-pound scale). Regular calibration and choosing a scale with a suitable resolution for your application ensure reliable measurements.
-
Many industrial floor scales offer connectivity options like USB, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi to integrate with inventory management, ERP systems, or printers for seamless data tracking. Some also support software for real-time weight monitoring or automated reporting.
-
Yes, most industrial floor scales are built with rugged materials like stainless steel or heavy-duty carbon steel to withstand harsh conditions, including moisture, dust, and heavy impacts. Look for models with IP65 or higher ratings for water and dust resistance if used in wet or dusty settings.
-
Industrial floor scales come in a range of capacities, from 1,000 pounds (450 kg) for smaller models to over 20,000 pounds (9,000 kg) for heavy-duty applications like warehousing or manufacturing. The right capacity depends on your specific needs, such as weighing pallets, machinery, or bulk materials.
-
Most models offer connectivity options like USB, Wi-Fi, or RS-232, allowing integration with inventory management software, ERP systems, or printers for streamlined data tracking and reporting.
-
Yes, these scales are constructed with rugged materials like stainless steel or reinforced carbon steel, designed to withstand extreme conditions, including heavy loads, vibrations, and exposure to dust or moisture.
-
Heavy-duty floor scales typically support capacities ranging from 1,000 to 20,000 pounds or more, depending on the model, making them suitable for weighing pallets, machinery, and large containers.
