Industrial & Commercial

A: Our weighing scales and equipment go through procedures to ensure they can withstand extreme conditions and retain their precision whilst under regular use. However, it goes without saying that some models will provide better resistance than others. Digital weighing scales specifically designed for industrial and retail, such as floor scales, crane scales and compact balances will provide greater resistance to damage on the everyday over analytical or precision scales.

A: We offer a wide range of industrial scales that suit all types of industrial environment from large open shipping facilities and dockyards to factories with minimal space.

Pallet truck scales take up minimal space and can be easily manoeuvred around factory or warehouse floors when required.

Alternatively, AELP pallet beams are versatile, portable industrial scales that can be combined with various platform sizes to suit the surrounding environment. The pallet beams can be safely stored and offer a practical solution to weighing in small spaces.

A: In principle, the procedure for industrial scale calibration is more or less the same as other types of scales and balances, however the type of industrial scale used may cause this to differ slightly.

Scales with internal or auto calibration (typically higher precision bench scales and analytical balances) will provide an in-built calibration option in the form of a physical button or option within the scale's setup menu (this can sometimes be found in scale's factory settings menu).

Industrial scales with external calibration (usually compact scales, bench scales, larger platforms and floor scales) will require approved calibration weights that fall in line with the readability capacbilities of the scale. For example, the PT platform scale will require block test weights for effective calibration, whereas bench scales with greater readabilities are likely to use M1 Class weights.
