Hanging And Crane Scales

Six hanging scales, from mini crane scales with stainless steel shackles and hooks to pocket sized luggage and market scales.

What This Category Is For

Hanging scales cover two very different jobs: lifting a load on a hoist and checking a bag or a market basket in the hand. Both are here, with the industrial models built around die cast aluminium enclosures, stainless steel hooks and overload alarms, and the portable models built for volume retail.

Problems It Solves

  • Loads lifted with no idea of their weight until the hoist strains
  • Crane scales with painted hooks that corrode in outdoor use
  • Market traders and travellers with no reliable portable weight check
  • Overload conditions noticed too late

Questions Buyers Ask

Hanging And Crane Scales Questions

Are the crane scales safe to lift with?

The crane scale models use stainless steel shackles and hooks and include an overload alarm. Always select a scale with capacity above the heaviest planned lift, and follow the lifting equipment inspection rules that apply where you operate.

Can the display be read from the floor?

The mini crane scale models use a 20 mm LCD which is readable at normal working distance. For longer distances tell us the reading distance so we can advise on display size.

What capacities are available in the portable models?

The portable hanging scales cover 10 kg, 20 kg and 40 kg with divisions from 5 g to 10 g depending on model.

Do the crane scales work outdoors?

They use waterproof panel buttons and die cast aluminium enclosures, which suits covered outdoor use. For permanently exposed or washdown positions tell us the conditions and we will advise on the right model.
