Hanging scales are extremely versatile, and are ideal for many different applications, from weighing fish or luggage to food or mail bags.
Instead of a weighing pan or platform, hanging scales suspend and weigh the load with a hook. The scale itself can be held by hand or hung on another apparatus to support the weight. Crane scales are another type of hanging scales that are used to weigh heavier items, and these are usually suspended from cranes or other machinery.
Hanging scales come in a wide range of capacity, from 30kg all the way up to 10 tonnes. Depending on your requirements and budget, it is safe to say that there is a hanging scale suitable for all kinds of weighing needs.
For those considering investing in a digital hanging scale, here are the top three advantages of using hanging scales:
Compact and easy to use
Unlike platform scales or other high capacity floor scales, hanging scales do not take much space at all. Its compact size allows it to be used in smaller spaces, and makes it easy to store too. Hanging scales are also convenient to move around, so you can take it to the warehouse where the goods are, instead of having to move the goods to be weighed. This reduces risk of damage and accidents.
Weigh awkwardly shaped goods
Not all items come in standard sizes and shapes that can fit on platform scales perfectly. For other non-standard items, use a hanging scale. All you need to do is ensure that the item has a handle or something secure for the hanging scale’s hook to hold on to.
Better safety
Hanging scales and crane scales are especially useful in larger industrial weighing applications. Usually placed on a mechanised crane, these scales can lift and weigh heavy or bulky items at the same time. This reduces risk of accidents, as operators and workers do not need to carry the items to place them on a weighing platform.
