Bench Scales

As the name might suggest, a bench scale is simply a scale made to sit on a bench or countertop. They generally have a smaller footprint designed for compact spaces and are robust enough to withstand demanding environments, such as a factory or warehouse. You could also use a bench scale in retail, food production or just about any industry that requires a small, easy-to-use scale.

The most appealing characteristic of a bench scale is their broad spectrum of features and uses. Many come with unique weighing modes which are specifically conceived with a desired use in mind, such as parts counting, percentage weighing, check weighing, coin counting and price computing. Other variables include LCD displays, battery operation and waterproofing. Instruments with a high IP rating are built with protection from dust and water as a priority – so if you’re using the scale in an environment that is dirty where it will require extra cleaning then an IP rated scale is a must.

For selling items which are priced on their weight, it is UK law that a trade approved scale must be used. For any help in selecting your bench scale, please contact us by phone on 01908 972 660 or by live chat.
