Hanging Scales – What are they and why are they used?

Hanging scales are used on gantries, cranes and any other type of suspended structure to allow easy lifting and weighing of an item that is either very large, an unusual shape or difficult to move to a fixed weighing scale. Rechargeable batteries make the hanging scales fully portable and the large LED display plus remote control operation allows for use from a distance.

The PTS Pallet truck weigher is totally portable with an internal rechargeable battery and allows for the easy weighing and movement of goods anywhere in the factory or warehouse.
