Crane & Hanging Scales

Crane and hanging scales provide digital weight readings for suspended loads, compression measurement, and load monitoring. Commercial and industrial users use these scales during lifting, material-handling, inspection, and routine weighing tasks, while a compact luggage scale helps travelers check bag weight before departure.

Use Cases

Match the scale to the weighing task

Digital hanging scales support suspended-load and compression applications. Crane scales are suited to suspended loads during lifting and material handling. The heavy-duty hanging scale is intended for high-capacity loads or tension on cranes, hoists, winches, and shackle-connected applications. A luggage scale is designed for weighing bags before travel.

How to Choose

Start with capacity and readability

Choose a capacity that covers the loads you need to measure, from 88 lb for luggage to 50,000 lb for high-capacity load measurement. Then compare readability or resolution, which ranges from 0.01 lb on a 100 lb hanging scale to 20 lb graduations on the 50,000 lb model.

Applications

Consider how the scale will be operated

For hanging or compression measurement, select a digital hanging scale. For repetitive suspended-load checks, consider crane scales with features such as remote control, rotating or adjustable displays, rechargeable batteries, and hold functions. For compatible 1-1/2 ton lever hoists, the dynamometer and top hook assembly monitors lifted-load weight.

Additional Information

Compare readout and convenience features

Many models display pounds and kilograms. LED, rotating LED, adjustable LED, backlit LCD, and LCD displays offer different viewing options. Selected crane scales include remote operation, while the luggage scale has a buckle clasp, data lock, and low-battery indicator.
