What is a bench scale?

Bench scales are devices specifically designed to be used on a worktop, bench, or generally any smaller space. There are many different types, ranging from industrial bench scales to IP rated waterproof scales for food preparation. As well as this, they can can also come with counting, price computing and checkweighing capabilities included. Inscale UK offer a selection of bench scales, including trade approved items also.

What are the advantages of a bench scale over other types of weighing scales?

Bench scales have one major advantage in that many models feature multiple customisation alternatives, such as 'detachable' and 'all in one'. With this in mind, bench scales can also act as portable scale options that do not have large spacial requirements. This product is ideal in commercial spaces, including as retail weighing scales for supermarkets and as postal weighing scales and parcel scales for post office or manufacturing industries.

Which bench scale is right for me?

When looking to buy a bench scale you need to consider a few factors.

Check the scale's capacity - bench scales can weigh up to 300kg depending on the model. Anything higher than 120kg is generally considered a floor scale. Another key area to check is the readibility, which is the finest reading the scale can show on its display - for example, a readability of 1g means weight readings will be shown to the nearest 1g. If the environment is likely to be wet, humid or dusty, consider a washdown scale. Finally, consider the platform size you need for weighing, meaning will the bench scale's platform be large enough for the items you're weighing?

With such a wide variety of bench scales to choose from, finding the right one for your needs might seem overwhelming. To make it easier, our blog post All You Need to Know About Bench Scales should help.

Do bench scales have different power options?

Yes, bench scales are available with different power options. Professional bench scales are usually are powered by AC adapters or rechargeable batteries.
