    What are platform scales?

    Platform scales are weighing scales designed with a flat, rigid platform on top of which objects are placed to measure their weight. Platform scales are commonly used in industrial, commercial and shipping environments because they can handle large, heavy or bulky loads that wouldn’t fit on smaller scales.


    What are the benefits of platform scales?

    Platform scales offer several practical benefits, especially in industrial, commercial and logistics settings:

    - Platform scales can handle heavy and bulky loads, from 200g up to 3 or 5 tonnes; far more than typical bench scales or floor scales.

    - Their flat, open platform - available in different sizes - allows them to weigh palletised goods, boxes, crates and other large and bulky items.

    - Industrial platform scales are made with strong materials like mild steel or stainless steel, and designed to withstand tough environments, frequent use, and sometimes moisture, dust or chemicals.

    - Digital platform scales use load cells that provide precise and repeatable measurements, even for large loads.

    - Platform scales are a convenient way to weigh heavy items, without the need for manually lifting: load the scale with a fork truck or crane for an instant weight of your goods.

    - Need to weigh heavy, bulky items but lack the space? Platform scales can be mounted into the floor of your premises so that they're not in the way of daily operations.


    What is the best platform scale for your needs?

    At Quality Scales we can help you find the best platform scale for your application. The type of platform scale you should use will depend on a number of things:

    - The typical weight of the goods you will be weighing

    - The type of goods you will be weighing - for example, will it be palletised?

    - How frequently you will be weighing, and how much space you have available, and

    - The environment: for example, will it be damp, wet or dusty? If so, a stainless steel platform scale would be best.
